The Holy Quran 42:30 — Surah Ash-Shuraa

Arabic text

وَمَآ أَصَـٰبَكُم مِّن مُّصِيبَةٍ فَبِمَا كَسَبَتْ أَيْدِيكُمْ وَيَعْفُوا۟ عَن كَثِيرٍ

Translation

(O mankind!) The misfortunes that afflict (come to) you are a result of the (evil) actions you earn, and (because of your many sins, you deserve to suffer even more adversities, but) Allaah pardons a great deal (many of your sins, because of which you are spared many more hardships).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

Every calamity is the result of evil deeds: that is, just as blessings are given in a particular measure and with regard to particular times and circumstances, so the coming down of calamities also takes place under particular causes and laws.
