Wherever you may be, death will catch up with you, even if you were in fortified towers. When a good fortune comes their way, they say, "This is from God." But when a misfortune befalls them, they say, "This is from you." Say, "All is from God." So what is the matter with these people, that they hardly understand a thing?
Does evil come from God or from ourselves (4:78 vs 4:79)?
Key findingsEditorial
One finding for each passage this study carries, in the order the study reads them. Each is the reason that passage was signed into the study, in full and unedited - including, where the renderings disagree, the disagreement.
- 01 4:78 Some say good is from God and misfortune is from the one addressed, whom Pickthall and Sale name as Muhammad. The reply in Itani is "All is from God", and Pickthall has "This is of thy doing (O Muhammad)" as the words of those who say it.
- 02 4:79 The next verse divides the two. Itani has "whatever bad happens to you is from your own self", and Rodwell has "whatever betideth thee of evil is from thyself".
- 03 42:30 Misfortune is tied to what people do. Itani has "it is because of what your hands have earned", while Sale has "is sent you by God, for that which your hands have deserved".
- 04 64:11 Itani has "No disaster occurs except by God's leave", and Palmer has "No calamity befalls but by the permission of God".
- 05 3:165 A misfortune after a battle is answered in the same terms as 4:79. At 3:165 Itani has "It is from your own selves", and Pickthall has "It is from yourselves".
In plain wordsEditorial written by the editors, not a translation
The question sets two adjacent verses against each other. At 4:78 Itani has "All is from God". At 4:79 Itani has "whatever bad happens to you is from your own self".
4:78 gives the setting. When good comes, some say it is from God; when misfortune comes, they say it is from the one addressed. Pickthall has "This is of thy doing (O Muhammad)". The reply "All is from God" answers that saying. 4:79 then speaks to the hearer, with good from God and bad from the hearer's own self.
The other verses in the set use both ways of speaking. At 42:30 Itani has "it is because of what your hands have earned", and Sale has "is sent you by God, for that which your hands have deserved", so Sale puts both claims into one sentence. At 64:11 Itani has "No disaster occurs except by God's leave". At 3:165 Pickthall has "It is from yourselves".
So the renderings print two things side by side, often in the same passage: nothing befalls except by God's leave, and misfortune is earned by the hands of those it befalls. None of the five verses here states how the two are joined, and this study does not add a rule from outside them.
Scope of this study
This platform shows the verse, its easy-read line, its translations, a plain-words reading, and each verse among its neighbours. It does not supply occasion of revelation, interpretation (tafsir) or history, and it never invents them.
What this rests on
Opens with 4:78, widening across 5 passages in all.
Easy-read
Easy-read is a simplified pronunciation, not authoritative — a rule-by-rule romanisation, not a reading. Each verse ends in its pause form, as it is said when you stop there. Pauses inside a verse and other tajwid rules are not shown. It is derived from the Tanzil Simple edition, while the Arabic above is the Uthmani edition; both are cleared, but they are not the same edition and their orthography differs.

När de får del av något gott, säger de: ”Detta kommer från Gud”, men när något ont drabbar dem säger de: ”Detta är på grund av dig.” Säg: ”Allt kommer från Gud.” Vad är det med dessa människor, att de knappt förstår något av det som sägs?
Her nerede olsanız olun, sapasağlam kaleler içinde bile olsanız ölüm gelip sizi bulur. Onların başına bir iyilik gelse: "Bu, Allah’tandır." derler. Onlara bir kötülük dokunsa "Bu, sendendir" derler. De ki: “Hepsi Allah’tandır.” Bu topluluğa ne oluyor ki; neredeyse hiç bir sözü anlamıyorlar.
تم جہاں کہیں بھی ہو موت تمہیں آپکڑے گی، گو تم مضبوط قلعوں میں ہو[1] ، اور اگر انہیں کوئی بھلائی ملتی ہے تو کہتے ہیں کہ یہ اللہ تعالیٰ کی طرف سے ہے اور اگر کوئی برائی پہنچتی ہے تو کہہ اٹھتے ہیں کہ یہ تیری طرف سے ہے[2]۔ انہیں کہہ دو کہ یہ سب کچھ اللہ تعالیٰ کی طرف سے ہے۔ انہیں کیا ہوگیا ہے کہ کوئی بات سمجھنے کے بھی قریب نہیں۔[3]

Have you not considered those who were told, "Restrain your hands, and perform your prayers, and spend in regular charity"? But when fighting was ordained for them, a faction of them feared the people as God is ought to be feared, or even more. And they said, "Our Lord, why did You ordain fighting for us? If only You would postpone it for us for a short while." Say, "The enjoyments of this life are brief, but the Hereafter is better for the righteous, and you will not be wronged one bit."
Hast thou not seen those unto whom it was said: Withhold your hands, establish worship and pay the poordue, but when fighting was prescribed for them behold! a party of them fear mankind even as their fear of Allah or with greater fear, and say: Our Lord! Why hast Thou ordained fighting for us? If only Thou wouldst give us respite yet a while! Say (unto them, O Muhammad): The comfort of this world is scant; the Hereafter will be better for him who wardeth off (evil); and ye will not be wronged the down upon a date-stone
Do ye not see those to whom it is said, 'Restrain your hands, and be steadfast in prayer and give alms;' and when it is prescribed for them to fight then a band of them fear men, as though it were the fear of God or a still stronger fear, and they say, 'O our Lord! why hast thou prescribed for us to fight, couldst thou not let us abide till our near appointed time?' Say, 'The enjoyment of this world is but slight, and the next is better for him who fears:- but they shall not be wronged a straw
Hast thou not marked those to whom it was said, "Withhold your hands awhile from war; and observe prayer, and pay the stated alms." But when war is commanded them, lo! a portion of them fear men as with the fear of God, or with a yet greater fear, and say: "O our Lord! why hast thou commanded us war? Couldst thou not have given us respite till our not distant end?" SAY: Small the fruition of this world; but the next life is the true good for him who feareth God! and ye shall not be wronged so much as the skin of a date stone
Hast thou not observed those unto whom it was said, withhold your hands from war, and be constant at prayers, and pay the legal alms? But when war is commanded them, behold, a part of them fear men as they should fear God, or with a greater fear, and say, O Lord, wherefore hast thou commanded us to go to war, and hast not suffered us to wait our approaching end? Say unto them, The provision of this life is but small; but the future shall be better for him who feareth God; and ye shall not be in the least injured at the day of judgment

Çdo e mirë që të vjen është prej Allahut, kurse çdo e keqe që të godet është prej vetes sate. Ne të dërguam ty (o Muhamed) të dërguar për njerëzimin, e mjafton Allahu si Dëshmitar.
তোমার যা কিছু কল্যাণ হয়, তা আল্লাহর কাছ থেকে এবং তোমার যা কিছু অকল্যাণ হয়, তা তোমার নিজের কারণে। আমি তোমাকে মানুষের জন্য রাসূলরূপে পাঠিয়েছি; আর সাক্ষী হিসেবে আল্লাহই যথেষ্ট।
Dobro koje te zadesi, to je od Allaha, a zlo koje te zadesi, to je od tebe. Mi smo te kao poslanika ljudima poslali, a Allah je dovoljan svjedok.

რაც შეგემთხვა შენ (ო, ადამიანო) სიკეთიდან — ეს არის ალლაჰისგან [მისი წყალობითა და კეთილმოქმედებით], ხოლო რაც შეგემთხვა ცუდიდან — ეს არის შენი საკუთარი თავისგან [შენი ცოდვების გამო]. და ჩვენ გამოგგზავნეთ შენ (ო, მოციქულო) ადამიანთა მიმართ [მთელი კაცობრიობისთვის] მოციქულად, და საკმარისია ალლაჰი მოწმედ.
Was dich an Gutem trifft, so ist dies von Allah, und was dich an Schlechtem trifft, so ist das von dir selbst. Und Wir schickten dich als Gesandten für die Menschen. Und Allah genügt als Zeuge.
Ό,τι καλό σου συμβαίνει (ω, άνθρωπε) είναι από τον Αλλάχ, αλλά ό,τι κακό σου συμβαίνει είναι από τον εαυτό σου (εξαιτίας των αμαρτιών σου). Πράγματι, σε στείλαμε (ω, Μωχάμμαντ) ως Αγγελιαφόρο στην ανθρωπότητα, και αρκεί ο Αλλάχ ως Μάρτυρας.
तुझे जो भलाई पहुँचती है, वह अल्लाह की ओर से है तथा जो बुराई पहुँचती है, वह ख़ुद तुम्हारे (बुरे कर्मों के) कारण है और हमने आप को सभी लोगों के लिए रसूल (संदेष्टा) बनाकर भेजा[55] है और (इस बात के लिए) अल्लाह की गवाही काफ़ी है।
Ciò che ti tocca di bene è da Allāh, e ciò che ti prende di male viene da te, e ti abbiamo inviato agli uomini come Messaggero, ed è sufficiente Allāh come testimone!

Что бы ни постигло тебя из блага — от Аллаха, а что бы ни постигло тебя из зла — от тебя самого. Мы послали тебя к людям посланником, и достаточно Аллаха как свидетеля.
Добро које те човече задеси, то је од Аллаха, а зло које те задеси, то је од тебе. А Ми смо те Мухаммеде као посланика послали људима, а Аллах је довољан сведок.
Yaliyokupata katika mazuri, basi ni kutokana na Mwenyezi Mungu. Na yaliyokusibu katika maovu, basi ni kutokana na nafsi yako. Nasi tumekutuma kwa watu uwe ni Mtume. Na Mwenyezi Mungu anatosha kuwa Shahidi.
Det goda du [människa] får ta del av kommer från Gud, och det onda som drabbar dig är från dig själv. Och vi har sänt dig [Muhammed] som ett sändebud till människorna, och Gud är tillräcklig som vittne.
Sana gelen her iyilik Allah’tandır. Kötülük olarak gelenler de kendi nefsindendir. Biz, seni insanlara elçi olarak gönderdik. Şahit olarak Allah yeter.

Have you not considered those who were told, "Restrain your hands, and perform your prayers, and spend in regular charity"? But when fighting was ordained for them, a faction of them feared the people as God is ought to be feared, or even more. And they said, "Our Lord, why did You ordain fighting for us? If only You would postpone it for us for a short while." Say, "The enjoyments of this life are brief, but the Hereafter is better for the righteous, and you will not be wronged one bit."
Hast thou not seen those unto whom it was said: Withhold your hands, establish worship and pay the poordue, but when fighting was prescribed for them behold! a party of them fear mankind even as their fear of Allah or with greater fear, and say: Our Lord! Why hast Thou ordained fighting for us? If only Thou wouldst give us respite yet a while! Say (unto them, O Muhammad): The comfort of this world is scant; the Hereafter will be better for him who wardeth off (evil); and ye will not be wronged the down upon a date-stone
Do ye not see those to whom it is said, 'Restrain your hands, and be steadfast in prayer and give alms;' and when it is prescribed for them to fight then a band of them fear men, as though it were the fear of God or a still stronger fear, and they say, 'O our Lord! why hast thou prescribed for us to fight, couldst thou not let us abide till our near appointed time?' Say, 'The enjoyment of this world is but slight, and the next is better for him who fears:- but they shall not be wronged a straw
Hast thou not marked those to whom it was said, "Withhold your hands awhile from war; and observe prayer, and pay the stated alms." But when war is commanded them, lo! a portion of them fear men as with the fear of God, or with a yet greater fear, and say: "O our Lord! why hast thou commanded us war? Couldst thou not have given us respite till our not distant end?" SAY: Small the fruition of this world; but the next life is the true good for him who feareth God! and ye shall not be wronged so much as the skin of a date stone
Hast thou not observed those unto whom it was said, withhold your hands from war, and be constant at prayers, and pay the legal alms? But when war is commanded them, behold, a part of them fear men as they should fear God, or with a greater fear, and say, O Lord, wherefore hast thou commanded us to go to war, and hast not suffered us to wait our approaching end? Say unto them, The provision of this life is but small; but the future shall be better for him who feareth God; and ye shall not be in the least injured at the day of judgment

Çdo fatkeqësi që ju godet, ndodh me lejen e Allahut. Allahu ia udhëzon zemrën atij që e beson Atë. Allahu është i Gjithëdijshëm për çdo gjë.
আল্লাহর অনুমতি ব্যতিরেকে কোন বিপদই (কারো উপর) আপতিত হয় না। বস্তুত যে আল্লাহর প্রতি ঈমান আনে, আল্লাহ তার অন্তরকে সৎপথে পরিচালিত করেন। আল্লাহ সর্ব বিষয়ে পরিজ্ঞাত।
Nikakva nevolja ne pogađa osim s Allahovom dozvolom! A ko u Allaha vjeruje, On će uputiti njegovo srce, a Allah sve dobro zna.

Musiiba heɓata hay gooto si wona e sakkitoore Alla, kala gooŋɗinɗo Alla O feewna ɓernde makko, Alla na anndi kala hu'unde.
რაც არ უნდა უბედურება მოხდეს, ის მხოლოდ ალლაჰის ნებით ხდება. და ვინც ირწმუნა ალლაჰი, მის გულს ის (ალლაჰი) წარმართავს და ალლაჰმა ყველაფერი იცის.
Kein Unglück trifft (jemanden), außer mit der Erlaubnis Allahs. Und wer an Allah glaubt, dessen Herz leitet Er recht. Und Allah ist über alles wissend.
Καμία συμφορά δε συμβαίνει (σε κανέναν), παρά μόνο με την Άδεια του Αλλάχ (δηλ. το Θείο Πεπρωμένο), και όποιος πιστεύει στον Αλλάχ (και στο Θείο Πεπρωμένο), (ο Αλλάχ) θα καθοδηγήσει την καρδιά του (στο να δεχτεί το Θείο Πεπρωμένο). Και ο Αλλάχ είναι για τα πάντα Παντογνώστης.
Non capita disgrazia, se non col volere di Allāh. E Allāh guida il cuore di chi crede in Lui. E Allāh è Onnisciente.
11. Jokios nelaimės neištinka, išskyrus tik su Allaho Leidimu. Ir kas tiki Allahą, to širdį Jis išves į teisingą kelią. Ir Allahas yra Visa Žinantis apie kiekvieną daiktą.
Hamtuu irraa wanti tokkollee hayyama Rabbiitiin malee nama hin tuqu. Nama Rabbitti amane qalbii isaa ni qajeelcha. Rabbiin waan hunda beekaadha. [2]
Никакое бедствие не постигает [никого] иначе как с дозволения Аллаха. А кто верует в Аллаха, тому Он наставляет сердце. Аллах — знающий обо всём.
Никаква невоља не погађа осим са Аллаховом дозволом! А ко у Аллаха верује, Он ће да упутити његово срце, а Аллах све добро зна.
Haufiki msiba wowote ila kwa idhini ya Mwenyezi Mungu. Na mwenye kumuamini Mwenyezi Mungu, huuongoa moyo wake. Na Mwenyezi Mungu anajua zaidi kila kitu.
Ingen olycka drabbar er annat än i enlighet med Guds beslut. Den som tror på Gud – ja, dennes hjärta vägleder han. Gud har full vetskap om allt.
Hiçbir musibet, Allah’ın izni olmadıkça isabet etmez. Kim, Allah’a iman ederse Allah onun kalbine hidayet verir. Allah, her şeyi bilir.

The Day when He gathers you for the Day of Gathering-that is the Day of Mutual Exchange. Whoever believes in God and acts with integrity, He will remit his misdeeds, and will admit him into gardens beneath which rivers flow, to dwell therein forever. That is the supreme achievement.
The day when He shall gather you unto the Day of Assembling, that will be a day of mutual disillusion. And whoso believeth in Allah and doeth right, He will remit from him his evil deeds and will bring him unto Gardens underneath which rivers flow, therein to abide for ever. That is the supreme triumph
On the day when he shall gather you to the day of gathering, that is the day of cheating! but whoso believes in God and acts aright, He will cover for him his offences, and will bring him into gardens beneath which rivers flow, to dwell therein for aye! that is the mighty bliss
The day when He shall gather you together for the day of mutual gathering, will be the day of MUTUAL DECEIT, and whoso shall have believed in God and done what is right, for him will He cancel his deeds of evil; and He will bring him into the gardens beneath whose shades the rivers flow, to abide therein for evermore. This will be the great bliss
On a certain day He shall assemble you, at the day of the general assembly: That will be the day of mutual deceit: And whoso shall believe in God, and shall do that which is right, from him will He expiate his evil deeds, and He will lead him into gardens beneath which rivers flow, to remain therein for ever. This will be great felicity

But as for those who disbelieve and denounce Our revelations-these are the inmates of the Fire, dwelling therein forever; and what a miserable fate!

But those who misbelieve and say our signs are lies, they are the fellows of the Fire, to dwell therein for aye! and evil shall the journey be

Obey Allah and obey His messenger; but if ye turn away, then the duty of Our messenger is only to convey (the message) plainly
So obey God and obey the Apostle: but if ye turn your backs - our Apostle has only his plain message to preach
Obey God then and obey the apostle: but if ye turn away, our apostle is not to blame, for he is only charged with plain preaching
Wherefore obey God, and obey the apostle; But if ye turn back, verily the duty incumbent on our apostle is only public preaching

Och när ni drabbades av ett bakslag, efter att ni själva tillfogat [era fiender] dubbelt så stor skada, sa ni: ”Hur kunde detta ske?” Säg: ”Det har sin grund i er själva!” Gud har förvisso makt över allt.

What this study rests on, and what it refusessigned with it1 of the 1 paragraphs signed with this study
The selection above and this account of it are part of what was signed. Where the renderings disagree it says so; where the question runs past what has cleared the rights audit it says that too.
The anchors are the two verses the question sets against each other, 4:78 and 4:79, and two verses that speak of misfortune in the same terms, 42:30 and 64:11. The probe 'from thyself|from your own self|from yourselves|from your own selves' returns 25 rows at 11 verses; 3:165 is added from it because it answers a misfortune in similar words: at 4:79 Pickthall has "from thyself" and Itani "from your own self", and at 3:165 Pickthall has "from yourselves" and Itani "from your own selves". This study reports how the renderings word the two claims. It does not set out a doctrine of decree that joins them; that is a matter of theology that these verses do not state.
