16. Nahl · verses 53–55

وَمَا بِكُم مِّن نِّعۡمَةٖ فَمِنَ ٱللَّهِۖ ثُمَّ إِذَا مَسَّكُمُ ٱلضُّرُّ فَإِلَيۡهِ تَجۡـَٔرُونَ

Wama bikum min niAAmatin famina Allahi thumma itha massakumu alddurru failayhi tajaroona

And ye have no good thing but is from Allah: and moreover, when ye are touched by distress, unto Him ye cry with groans;

ثُمَّ إِذَا كَشَفَ ٱلضُّرَّ عَنكُمۡ إِذَا فَرِيقٞ مِّنكُم بِرَبِّهِمۡ يُشۡرِكُونَ

Thumma itha kashafa alddurra AAankum itha fareequn minkum birabbihim yushrikoona

Yet, when He removes the distress from you, behold! some of you turn to other gods to join with their Lord-

لِيَكۡفُرُواْ بِمَآ ءَاتَيۡنَٰهُمۡۚ فَتَمَتَّعُواْ فَسَوۡفَ تَعۡلَمُونَ

Liyakfuroo bima ataynahum fatamattaAAoo fasawfa taAAlamoona

(As if) to show their ingratitude for the favours we have bestowed on them! then enjoy (your brief day): but soon will ye know (your folly)!
