The Holy Quran 8:53 — Surah Al-Anfal

Arabic text

ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَمْ يَكُ مُغَيِّرًا نِّعْمَةً أَنْعَمَهَا عَلَىٰ قَوْمٍ حَتَّىٰ يُغَيِّرُوا۟ مَا بِأَنفُسِهِمْ ۙ وَأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ

Translation

This (punishment) is because Allaah will not change (will not take away) any favour that He gave to a nation until they change what is within themselves (until they corrupt their beliefs and actions, thereby inviting Allaah's punishment, which will cause them to lose all their bounties). Indeed Allaah is All Hearing, All Knowing (He knows the thoughts and actions of every person).

Tafsir (excerpt) — التفسير الميسر

ذلك الجزاء السيِّئ بأن الله إذا أنعم على قوم نعمة لم يسلبها منهم حتى يغيِّروا حالهم الطيبة إلى حال سيئة، وأن الله سميع لأقوال خلقه، عليم بأحوالهم، فيجري عليهم ما اقتضاه علمه ومشيئته.
