(Sura An-Nahl, 16:99) Sorrows and Happiness Are From Allah (S.w.T.) Tawakkul requires that people should understand that on everything is Allah (S.w.T.)’s suzerainty and all things big and small are His. All that happens is with His wish and command.
As it is said in the Sura an-Najm giving examples of certain things it is said: وَأَنَّهُ هُوَ أَضْحَكَ وَأَبْكَى And that He it is Who makes (men) laugh and makes (them) weep; (Sura an-Najm, 53:43) This means that it is Allah (S.w.T.) who controls the causes for men becoming happy and sad. He provides wealth and riches to people and makes them prosperous. The land on which we walk also belongs to Allah (S.w.T.).
The dwellings in which we live in, and all the paraphernalia therein belong to Him only. We should have absolute Faith in His Sovereignty over everything. Without Knowledge Faith of Tawhid is Not Practical As long as one doesn’t have faith in the facts mentioned, it is not possible to understand the reality of La hawla wa la quwwata illa billah. Man has to understand that the authority of anyone, other than Allah (S.w.T.), on anything is totally negated.
The word “ La ” asserts that there is no power in the hands of anyone other than Allah (S.w.T.). He alone is the reservoir and fountainhead of power and is the Creator and the Possessor. There is no permanent class or status for the creatures. The ability of man to use the tongue and modulate words is because of the Will of Allah (S.w.T.). The Mouth Opened But Didn’t Close Sometime ago, a woman was brought to a hospital. Her lower jaw was hanging downward.
They said that she opened her mouth wide to yawn. Ever since then she was unable to close her mouth. It is true that making both the jaws meet is in His Power! The summary of this discussion is that in matters man doesn’t have total control and in everything the wish of Allah (S.w.T.) is Supreme. The matters that are unseen will become visible only with Allah (S.w.T.)’s Wish. To understand this phenomenon, it will need deep thinking and wisdom.
