All powers are only of God (L-191)

وَلَو يَرَى الَّذينَ ظَلَموا
إِذ يَرَونَ العَذابَ أَنَّ القُوَّةَ لِلَّهِ جَميعًا وَأَنَّ اللَّهَ شَديدُ

165b. If only the
wrongdoers would realize, when they see the torment; that all power is God’s,
and that God is severe in punishment. |
In the earlier verses, after discussion concerning Oneness of God, Creator of the Universe and dignity of the Believers, God described about His Power and Strength, and commanded: The Infidels and Idolaters ascribe different things as partners of God due to their foolishness, ignorance and un-foresightedness. They consider as these things will accede to their wishes, support them at the times of difficulties, give rewards to them as compensation of their worship, and they believe that these are masters of the powers.
God asserts in this verse, “Would that! The deniers of the Truth and the Idolaters had seen the Doom which We shall descend upon them on the Doomsday. After seeing the doom, they will say at once that all kinds of powers and strength, Greatness, Divinity and Magnificence, power of choice and influence are only of God. Without His permission, nobody can speak or boast before Him. Without Him, none can help or support any other, and everything is humble before Him.
On that Day, neither the wealth/property of anyone will be useful for him, and nor his relatives and friends will help him. Every individual will try to run away from his intimate brothers, sisters, mother, father, wife, children, friends and relatives; so that he would not have to suffer their doom upon himself. On the Day of Resurrection, the Idolaters will forget their false worshipped and liar partners, and they will call “for pity’s sake! God help me”.
During the worldly life, various types of difficulties and tests are sent on the human beings. By using own sense, every person should deem that this all is from God and should fall prostrate before God after learning from these calamities.
In the Sayings of the Messenger (ﷺ) this humility, indigence and helplessness has been described as penitence and begging for mercy, and supplication as worship. Messenger of God (ﷺ) commanded, “‘Ad-Duaaw- mukh-khul ‘ibaadah” (Supplication is the Brain of Worship).
