Al-Isra 17:21

<div class="arabic uthmani">كَلاَّ</div><p>On each meaning, on each of the two groups, those who desire this world and those who desire the Hereafter, We bestow what they want</p><div class="arabic uthmani">مِنْ عَطَآءِ رَبِّكَ</div><p>(from the bounties of your Lord.) means, He is the One Who is in control of all things, and He is never unjust. He gives to each what he deserves, whether it is eternal happiness or doom. His decree is unstoppable, no one can withhold what He gives or change what He wants. Allah says:</p><div class="arabic uthmani">وَمَا كَانَ عَطَآءُ رَبِّكَ مَحْظُورًا</div><p>(And the bounties of your Lord can never be forbidden.) meaning, no one can withhold or prevent them. Qatadah said,</p><div class="arabic uthmani">وَمَا كَانَ عَطَآءُ رَبِّكَ مَحْظُورًا</div><p>(And the bounties of your Lord can never be forbidden.) "(It means) they can never decrease".</p><div class="arabic uthmani">وَمَا كَانَ عَطَآءُ رَبِّكَ مَحْظُورًا</div><p>(And the Bounties of your Lord can never be forbidden) Al-Hasan and others said, "(It means) they can never be prevented." Then Allah says:</p><div class="arabic uthmani">انظُرْ كَيْفَ فَضَّلْنَا بَعْضَهُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ</div><p>(See how We prefer one above another,) meaning in this world, so that some are rich and some are poor, and others are in between; some are beautiful, some are ugly and others are …

See how We prefer one of them above another, and verily the Hereafter will be greater in degrees and greater in preferment.

See how We have bestowed more on some than on others; but verily the Hereafter is more in rank and gradation and more in excellence.

See how We prefer one above another (in this world) and verily, the Hereafter will be greater in degrees and greater in preference.

See how We have favored some of them over others; yet the Hereafter is greater in ranks, and greater in favors.
