"We created them and made firm their joints [43] and when We please We shall bring in their place the likes of them by a change [44]."
✅ [43] Creation and Strengthening
This verse acknowledges Allah's power in the creation of human beings, emphasizing how He formed them and made their joints firm.
Initially, humans are weak and fragile at birth, but through the blessings of Allah, they grow strong and capable.
It reminds the believers that their strength and vitality are gifts from Allah and should not be taken for granted.
✅ [44] Divine Control and Replacement
"When We please" refers to Allah's supreme authority over all creation. He has the power to replace one generation with another or to replace individuals with others, as He sees fit.
This serves as a reminder that the rich and powerful are not immune to Allah's will.
The verse alludes to historical events, such as how the leaders of the Quraish were defeated in battle, and their homes and lands were eventually inherited by the believers.
This is a warning about the transience of worldly power and the importance of remaining humble and mindful of Allah.
