📖 Commentary of Surah An-Nahl – Verse 53

"And whatever blessing you have is from Allah [109]. Then, when adversity touches you, you cry out to Him for help."

✅ [109] All Blessings Are from Allah Alone

This means that every blessing, whether it comes directly or indirectly, is from Allah Almighty. For example:

  • The light of the sun is a direct blessing,

  • While the light of a lamp is an indirect blessing, yet it too originates from Divine will and provision.

The verse emphasizes that no matter the source, the ultimate benefactor is Allah, and when hardship strikes, even those who neglect Him in ease turn only to Him for deliverance.

Ibn-Kathir

The tafsir of Surah An-Nahl verse 53 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
Please refer to Surah Nahl ayat 51 which provides the complete commentary from verse 51 through 55.

(16:53) Every bounty that you enjoy is from Allah; and whenever any misfortune strikes you, it is to Him that you cry for the removal of your distress.[46]

Ala-Maududi

(16:53) Every bounty that you enjoy is from Allah; and whenever any misfortune strikes you, it is to Him that you cry for the removal of your distress.[46]


46. That is, the fact, that you run to Allah for help in your distress and not to anyone else, is a clear proof of the Oneness of Allah, which has been embedded in your own hearts. At the time of your affliction, your true nature, which had been suppressed by the gods you had forged, involuntarily comes to the surface and invokes Allah, for it knows no other god or lord or master, having any real power. For further details please refer to (Surah Al-Anaam, ayat 41) note 29 and (Surah Al-Anaam, ayat 64) note 41.

(53) And whatever you have of favor - it is from Allāh. Then when adversity touches you, to Him you cry for help.
