Transliteration:( Alam ta'lam annallaaha lahoo mulkus samaawaati wal ard; wa maa lakum min doonil laahi minw waliyyinw wa laa naseer )
"Do you not know that to Allah belongs the kingdom [211] of the heavens and the earth, and besides Allah, you have no protector nor any helper? [212]"
✅ [211] Allah’s Absolute Authority Over His Kingdom
It is the prerogative of Allah to upkeep whichever Law He wants in His kingdom, to whatever extent and in whatever manner He so desires.
When the laws of creation can continuously change — such as the changing of day and night, which brings about all types of changes — then the laws of Shari'ah can also change.
This is a reminder for mankind to reflect and ponder.
✅ [212] None Can Save from Allah’s Punishment Except by His Will
There is none who can save from the punishment of Allah.
However, this does not refer to the Prophets and Saints of Allah, because their help is actually Allah’s help.
So, by “none” is meant the idols on whom idol-worshippers relied for assistance.
📖 Allah says:
“Only Allah is your friend, and His Messenger, and the believers that establish prayer.” (S5:V55)
From such verses, we learn that anyone trying to help against Allah’s will cannot succeed.
They cannot override or defy the authority of Allah.
It is important to differentiate between:
"Friends besides Allah" = false gods and idols
"Friends of Allah" = the righteous (like Prophets and Awliya)
One must never forget the clear distinction between these two groups.
