2 v. 165 clarifies that "The Power is wholly Allah's." وَبِجَبَرُوتِكَ الَّتِي غَلَبْتَ بِها كُلَّ شَيْءٍ And by Thy might by which Thou hast conquered all thingsAnd by Thy might by which Thou hast conquered all things The word "Jabarut" meaning "Might", is derived from the epithet of Allah "Al Jabbar" meaning "The Mighty One." وَبعَزَّتِكَ الَّتِي لا يَقُومُ لَها شَيْءٌ And by Thy majesty against which nothing can stand upAnd by Thy majesty against which nothing can stand up The word "Izzat" is derived from Allah's epithet "Al Aziz" (The Glorious).
وَبِعَظَمَتِكَ الَّتِي مَلاَتْ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ And by Thy grandeur which prevails upon all thingsAnd by Thy grandeur which prevails upon all things "He is the Most High, the Tremendous" C. 2 v. 255 of the Qur'an. وَبِسُلْطانِكَ الَّذِي عَلا كُلَّ شَيْءٍ And by Thy authority which is exercised over all thingsAnd by Thy authority which is exercised over all things "O Thou against whose Authority no other authority prevails" (Du'a Jaushan al-Kabir).
The combined authority of all worldly powers are incapable to prevent natural disasters like earthquakes, cyclones or floods even though they may have had previous notice of it. وَبِوَجْهِكَ الباقِي بَعْدَ فَناءِ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ And by Thy own self that shall endure forever after all things have vanishedAnd by Thy own self that shall endure forever after all things have vanished The expression "Wajhika" has been defined by Malbubi as "Dhate Parwardighar" Allah Himself.
The Qur'an says – "Everything is perishable but He." C. 28 v. 88 and in C. 55 v. 27. It is stated "And there shall remain for ever the Person of Thy Lord, the Lord of Glory and Honour." وَبِأَسْمائِكَ الَّتِي ملاَ َتْ أَرْكانَ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ And by Thy Names which manifest Thy power over all thingsAnd by Thy Names which manifest Thy power over all things This refers to "Asmaul Husna" the Excellent Names of Allah.
Malbubi states that these Names constitute the props which sustain everything in existence. وَبِعِلْمِكَ الَّذِي أَحاطَ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ And by Thy knowledge which pervades all thingsAnd by Thy knowledge which pervades all things "The Omniscient" is one of the positive attributes of Allah. The Qur'an states: "Allah indeed encompasses all things in knowledge." C. 65 v. 12. "Al Muhitun" meaning "One who Encompasses or Comprehends" is one of the epithets of Allah.
