Transliteration
Wa maa bikum minni'matin faminal laahi summa izaa massakumud durru fa ilaihi taj'aroon
Translation
And whatever you have of favor - it is from Allah. Then when adversity touches you, to Him you cry for help.
Verse interpretation (Tafsir)
Whatever blessing you - O people - have in this world or in the afterlife is from Allah, may He be glorified, and not from anyone else. Then when some calamity, sickness or poverty afflicts you, it is to Him alone that you plead in supplication to remove what has afflicted you. Thus, the One who grants blessings and who removes difficulties is the One Who must be worshipped alone.
