110. The comforts and poverty in the world is not as a result of good deeds and faith. However, comforts and hardships of the Hereafter will be due to one's deeds. Grain and chaff will be found together, but after the thrashing, the grain and the chaff are separated. The world is thus a tillage field to separate the good from the evil.

Please refer to Surah Saba ayat 34 which provides the complete commentary from verse 34 through 38.

(34:36) (O Prophet), say to them: “My Lord grants provision abundantly to whomsoever He pleases and straitens it for whomsoever He pleases. But most people do not know this.[56]

Ala-Maududi

(34:36) (O Prophet), say to them: “My Lord grants provision abundantly to whomsoever He pleases and straitens it for whomsoever He pleases. But most people do not know this.[56]


56. They do not understand the wisdom on which the system of the distribution of provisions is based in the world, and are thus involved in the misunderstanding that whoever is being given abundantly is a beloved of Allah and whoever is being given sparingly is under His wrath. The fact, however, is that if a person looks around with open eyes he will see that in most cases the people with filthy and repulsive character are prosperous, and many good and noble people, who are known and recognized as morally pure, are found living in poverty. Now, how can a sensible person say that Allah dislikes the people of pure character and favors the wicked wrongdoers?

(36) Say, "Indeed, my Lord extends provision for whom He wills and restricts [it], but most of the people do not know."
