The idea may seem surprising for some people that how it is possible that Allah gathers the particles of the scattered dusts of men wherever they may be, and brings them into a new life, then, it immediately says: “...surely Allah is All-Powerful over all things." Indeed, the existence of this statement at the end of the verse is evidence for the statement preceding it, which says: "Wherever you (may) be, Allah will bring you altogether (unto Him)" Explanation: The Day When Imam Mahdi's (as) Adherents Assemble According to numerous traditions narrated from the holy Ahlul Bayt (as) cited in Islamic literature, the expression: " Wherever you (may) be, Allah will bring you altogether (unto Him) " has been rendered into the adherents of Imam al-Mahdi, the twelfth Imam (as).

It is quoted in 'Rauqat-ul-Kafi' from Imam Muhammad Baqir (as) who, after mentioning this expression, said: "It means the adherents of Imam Gha'im (as) who consist of three hundred and thirteen men. By Allah, they are the objective meaning of the phrase / ummat-ul-ma'dudah /.

By Allah, they all will gather together at the same time like the autumnal wind-driven broken clouds that become cumulus." [^1] It is also narrated from Ali-ibn-Mosa-ar-Rida, the eighth Imam (as), who has said: "By Allah, when al-Mahdi (as) rises, Allah will gather all our followers from all cities unto him." [^2] There is no doubt that this is one of the deep innate meanings of the verse.

Based on Islamic traditions, we know that there are layers upon layers of meaning concerning the verses of the Qur'an. One of them is the apparent meaning which is universal and general; and others, which are the deeply hidden ones which none knows except the Prophet (S), the sinless Imams (as), and those whom Allah wills.

In other words, these traditions refer to this very meaning that the Creator, Who is able to gather the particles of the scattered dusts of men from different parts of the world, can easily bring the adherents of al-Mahdi (as) on one day and at one time together to strike the first spark of the establishment of the revolution for the settlement of the godly government in order to put an end to tyranny and transgression, and establish Divine Justice among people throughout the world.
