Surah Al-An'am (6:44)

فَلَمَّا نَسُوۡا مَا ذُكِّرُوۡا بِهٖ فَتَحۡنَا عَلَيۡهِمۡ اَبۡوَابَ كُلِّ شَىۡءٍ ؕ حَتّٰٓى اِذَا فَرِحُوۡا بِمَاۤ اُوۡتُوۡۤا اَخَذۡنٰهُمۡ بَغۡتَةً فَاِذَا هُمۡ مُّبۡلِسُوۡنَ‏ ۝

Falamma nasoo ma thukkiroobihi fatahna AAalayhim abwaba kulli shay-in hattaitha farihoo bima ootoo akhathnahumbaghtatan fa-itha hum mublisoon

So when they forgot that by which they had been reminded, We opened to them the doors of every good thing until, when they rejoiced in that which they were given, We seized them suddenly, and they were then in despair.

Tadabbur (Reflection)

Theme of the Ayat

The Deception of Ease: Granting abundance temporarily before sudden destruction.

The Insight

God allowed them to forget the warning and granted them abundance, only to seize them suddenly in their state of enjoyment. **Be wary of sudden prosperity.** Prosperity after a warning is often a final test. Do not let temporary ease lull you into forgetting past errors and warnings.
