What is meant by the noble verse which indicates that Allah does not change a blessing He has bestowed upon a people until they change what is within themselves, and does that mean that blessings endure as long as no sin or evil is committed?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Quranic verses confirm that calamities occur due to sins, such as the Almighty’s saying: "And whatever strikes you of calamity – it is because of what your hands have earned, and He pardons much." However, blessings may be removed from an obedient person because of the disobedience of others, as the Almighty says: "And fear a trial which will not strike those who have wronged among you exclusively." This verse refers to societies, not individuals. So, if some individuals in a society change and disobey Allah’s commands, it is possible for blessings to be removed from all of them due to the sins of some.
