بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ

18.42-44

وَ اُحِیْطَ بِثَمَرِهٖ فَاَصْبَحَ یُقَلِّبُ كَفَّیْهِ عَلٰى مَاۤ اَنْفَقَ فِیْهَا وَ هِیَ خَاوِیَةٌ عَلٰى عُرُوْشِهَا وَ یَقُوْلُ یٰلَیْتَنِیْ لَمْ اُشْرِكْ بِرَبِّیْۤ اَحَدًا(42) وَ لَمْ تَكُنْ لَّهٗ فِئَةٌ یَّنْصُرُوْنَهٗ مِنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ وَ مَا كَانَ مُنْتَصِرًاﭤ(43) هُنَالِكَ الْوَلَایَةُ لِلّٰهِ الْحَقِّؕ-هُوَ خَیْرٌ ثَوَابًا وَّ خَیْرٌ عُقْبًا۠ (44)

English translation of Kanz-ul-Imaan

And his fruits were surrounded (by ruin), he therefore remained helplessly wringing his hands upon that investment which he had made on that garden, and it had fallen on its trellises (a framework of light wooden bars as a support for fruit trees), and he is saying, 'Alas! If only I had not ascribed any partner to my Lord.' And he had no group to help him against Allah, nor was he capable of taking revenge. Here it becomes clear that authority is only for the True Allah; reward from Him is the best, and believing in Him has the best outcome.

Commentary

Calamity descended upon the disbeliever’s garden, and along with the garden, all of his other wealth, provisions, and fruit were ruined, and the garden became totally barren. He was overcome by regret as despite spending his wealth upon the maintenance of the garden, it had been destroyed. In this state, he recalled the advice of the believer and understood that this was a result of his disbelief and rebelliousness, whereupon, he said, “Would that I had not ascribed a partner to my Lord.”

Here, the moral of this account is mentioned; from this we come to know that in such a situation, we realise that all authority is within the power of Allah Almighty; if He wills, He may make a garden abundant with fruits, and if He wills, He may destroy everything in an instant.
