Verse79

(79) مَّا أَصَابَكَ مِنْ حَسَنَةٍ فَمِنَ اللّهِ وَمَا أَصَابَكَ مِن سَيِّئَةٍ فَمِن نَّفْسِكَ وَأَرْسَلْنَاكَ لِلنَّاسِ رَسُولاً وَكَفَى بِاللّهِ شَهِيدًا

79. " Whatever of good befalls you, it is from Allah, and whatever of ill befalls you, it is from yourself; and We have sent you as a Messenger unto mankind; and Allahs is sufficient (as) a witness (there of)."
Commentary:
From the point of the Divine theology, every thing is the creature of Allah: " Allah is the creator of every thing..." (1) And Allah has created every thing good and beautiful: "Who made good everything that He has created, ..."(2)

What relates to Allah is the creation, which is not separate from goodness. Therefore, our distreases and inflictions are, firstly, because of the lack of those virtues that are not created by Allah; and, secondly, whatever causes our deprivation from the divine bounties, are the personal actions or the actions of the society.
However, all the virtues of a person are from Allah, while his refects and faults are from his own self.
" Whatever of good befalls you, it is from Allah, and whatever of ill befalls you, it is from yourself; and We have sent you as a Messenger unto mankind; and Allahs is sufficient (as) a witness (there of).
