Man`s supplication, then hopelessness and despairing when evil touches, and then mercy touches, he turns away and when evil touches, he engages in long supplications


أعوذ بالله من الشيطان الرجيم 

Fussilat 41:49

لَّا يَسْـَٔمُ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ مِن دُعَآءِ ٱلْخَيْرِ وَإِن مَّسَّهُ ٱلشَّرُّ فَيَـُٔوسٌ قَنُوطٌ 

Man is not weary of supplication for good [things], but if evil touches him, he is hopeless and despairing.

Fussilat 41:50

وَلَئِنْ أَذَقْنَٰهُ رَحْمَةً مِّنَّا مِنۢ بَعْدِ ضَرَّآءَ مَسَّتْهُ لَيَقُولَنَّ هَٰذَا لِى وَمَآ أَظُنُّ ٱلسَّاعَةَ قَآئِمَةً وَلَئِن رُّجِعْتُ إِلَىٰ رَبِّىٓ إِنَّ لِى عِندَهُۥ لَلْحُسْنَىٰۚ فَلَنُنَبِّئَنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ بِمَا عَمِلُوا۟ وَلَنُذِيقَنَّهُم مِّنْ عَذَابٍ غَلِيظٍ 

And if We let him taste mercy from Us after an adversity which has touched him, he will surely say, "This is [due] to me, and I do not think the Hour will occur; and [even] if I should be returned to my Lord, indeed, for me there will be with Him the best." But We will surely inform those who disbelieved about what they did, and We will surely make them taste a massive punishment.

Fussilat 41:51

وَإِذَآ أَنْعَمْنَا عَلَى ٱلْإِنسَٰنِ أَعْرَضَ وَنَـَٔا بِجَانِبِهِۦ وَإِذَا مَسَّهُ ٱلشَّرُّ فَذُو دُعَآءٍ عَرِيضٍ 

And when We bestow favor upon man, he turns away and distances himself; but when evil touches him, then he is full of extensive supplication.


If Allah Touches You With Adversity

Aaoodhoo billahe minashaitan rajeem before 

 Al-An'am 6:17

وَإِن يَمْسَسْكَ ٱللَّهُ بِضُرٍّ فَلَا كَاشِفَ لَهُ‌وٓ إِلَّا هُوَۖ وَإِن يَمْسَسْكَ بِخَيْرٍ فَهُوَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ قَدِيرٌ 

And if Allah should touch you with adversity, there is no remover of it except Him. And if He touches you with good -  then He is over all things competent.

This ayah is life saver for me. It happened in the past that adversity touched me and I tried every way of its removal and it was not removed until Allah decided to remove it. Subhan Allah.


In my weak moments Satan whispers me that it was removed because I took certain steps due to my wisdom. Istaghfirullah. May Allah save us from such satanic thoughts. Satan also whispers, it was removed because so and so helped. But with my high faith today alhamdolillah I can say that so and so couldnt help if Allah didn't want to. I have high iman today alhamdolillah. When I have weak faith, Satan whispers me I was touched with adversity because of so and so. But with my high iman today alhamdolillah I would say, adversity cannot touch me if Allah didn't want it to happen. Also when good touches me, with my weak iman Satan whispers me it happened due to some of my good deed. Subhan Allah. But my high iman today alhamdolillah, I can say no good touches me due to my good deed, but good touches me only due to Allah's mercy. And this ayah strengthens my belief on that good can touch me any time if Allah wills because Allah is Qadeer.
