Fussilat ((signs) Spelled Out, Ha-mim)
Verse 49
Translation:
49. Man does not weary of asking for good (things) but if ill touches him he gives up all hope (and) is lost in despair.
Notes (Tafseer):
4521. Not only is man prone to doubts and speculations in matters beyond his ken, thus disturbing the even tenor of his spiritual life: he is apt to run into opposite extremes in his daily experiences in this life. He is always hankering after the good things of this life. They are not all good for him. If he receives a little check, even though it may be to bring him to his bearings and turn his thoughts to higher things, he is apt to fall into despair.
