Surah An-Nisa' 4:78



ﲫ ﲬ ﲭ ﲮ ﲯ ﲰ ﲱ ﲲ ﲳ ﲴ ﲵ ﲶ ﲷ ﲸ ﲹ ﲺ ﲻ ﲼ ﲽ ﲾ ﲿ ﳀ ﳁ ﳂ ﳃ ﳄ ﳅ ﳆ ﳇ ﳈ ﳉ ﳊ ﳋ ﳌ ﳍ ﳎ ﳏ ﳐ ﳑ ﳒ

Wherever you may be, death will overtake you, even if you should be within towers of lofty construction. But if good comes to them, they say, "This is from Allah "; and if evil befalls them, they say, "This is from you." Say, "All [things] are from Allah." So what is [the matter] with those people that they can hardly understand any statement?

(Wheresoever ye may be, death will overtake you…) [4:78]. Said Ibn ‘Abbas, according to the narration of Abu Salih: “When some Muslims were martyred in Uhud, the hypocrites who failed to join in the fighting said: ‘If our brothers who were killed remained with us, they would not have died or been killed’. Allah, exalted is He, then revealed this verse”.
