Question:
Abu 'Umar from al-Jawf says: Regarding the saying of Allah the Exalted, "He created[Al-Balad 90:4]," is this something Allah the Exalted and Sublime has decreed for the human being while he is in his mother's womb? Or did the hardship and toil occur for him after his birth?
Answer:
[Al-Balad 90:4] And "kabd" (hardship) means the straightness of the stature, the proportion of the limbs, and what Allah has placed in this human being of good formation, understanding, and intellect. So "kabd" means that he is well-formed and complete in his powers. This is one opinion. The second opinion is that "fi kabd" means in struggle and difficulty. So as long as this human being is alive, he is exposed to difficulties and exposed to trials, but he endures, is patient, and remains firm upon his religion. Yes.
