And when We let the people taste mercy, they rejoice therein, but if evil afflicts them for what their hands have put forth, immediately they despair.
Tafheem-ul-Quran by Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi
(30:36) When We make people have a taste of Our Mercy, they exult in it; and when any misfortune befalls them in consequence of their deeds, then lo and behold, they despair. *55
Tafheem-ul-Quran by Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi
*55) In the preceding verse tnan has been censured for his ignorance, folly and ingratitude. In this verse, he has been censured for puerility and meanness When a person attains a little wealth and power and respect, and he sees that his business has started flourishing, he forgets that he has been given all this by AIIah. He exults at his success and is so puffed up and conceited that he has neither any regard left for Allah nor for the people. But as soon as good luck deserts him, he loses heart and a single stroke of iII-luck so disheartens and frustrates him that he is prepared to do any mean thing, even commit suicide.
