مَا أَصَابَ مِن مُّصِيبَةٍ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَلَا فِي أَنفُسِكُمْ إِلَّا فِي كِتَابٍ مِّن قَبْلِ أَن نَّبْرَأَهَا إِنَّ ذَلِكَ عَلَى اللَّهِ يَسِيرٌ
No affliction visits the land or yourselves but it is in a Book before We bring it about—that is indeed easy for Allah—
Agha Ali Puya Commentary
Commentary on Quran 57:22
[Pooya/Ali Commentary 57:22] Aqa Mahdi Puya says: All things happen as consequences that follow in accordance with the laws made by Allah. The recording of these consequences in a book refers to Allah's infinite knowledge, which is announced to man so that he may avoid distress. Misfortune or good fortune may turn out to be illusory, therefore, men of God do not envy those who possess material possessions, nor do they exult if they have them, nor covet nor boast. If they are given bounties of Allah, they share them with other people as they consider them gifts of Allah.
