Say (O Muhammad SAW): "Verily, my Lord enlarges and restricts the provision to whom He pleases, but most men know not."
English - Sahih International
Say, "Indeed, my Lord extends provision for whom He wills and restricts [it], but most of the people do not know."
Tafheem-ul-Quran by Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi
(34:36) (O Prophet), say to them: 'My Lord grants provision abundantly to whomsoever He pleases and straitens it for whomsoever He pleases. But most people do not know this. *56
Tafheem-ul-Quran by Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi
*56) They do not understand the wisdom on which the system of the distribution of provisions is based in the world, and are thus involved in the misunderstanding that whoever is being given abundantly is a beloved of Allah and whoever is being given sparingly is under His wrath. The fact, however, is that if a person looks around with open eyes he will see that in most cases the people with filthy and repulsive character are prosperous, and many good and noble people, who are known and recognized as morally pure, are found living in poverty. Now, how can a sensible person say that Allah dislikes the people of pure character and favours the wicked wrongdoers?"
