Sura 39
Aya 49
49
فَإِذا مَسَّ الإِنسانَ ضُرٌّ دَعانا ثُمَّ إِذا خَوَّلناهُ نِعمَةً مِنّا قالَ إِنَّما أوتيتُهُ عَلىٰ عِلمٍ ۚ بَل هِيَ فِتنَةٌ وَلٰكِنَّ أَكثَرَهُم لا يَعلَمونَ

Bijan Moeinian

Most men pray to God when at need. Once God gives them what they want, they say: “I earned it in account of my hard work and know-how.” The fact of the matter is their possessions are means of trial for them [to see how they will behave and use it] yet they do not understand it.
