Iman and Aqaid 21

Allah Is The Omnipotent

"Allahu Qadeerun" means : Allah is the Omnipotent. He is the

sole Owner of all the things of this vast universe. He is the

Master of the moon, the sun, planets, the stars, the jinn, angels,

mankind, trees, rivers, seas, oceans, hills and mountains.

Allah is the All-powerful. None can harm anybody if He wants

to do good to him and if He wants to punish anybody none is

there to save him.

He is the Giver of life to all animals, birds and all living beings

in the world. And also He is the Giver of death to all of them.

By His order the sun rises in the east daily in time. The day

starts just with the rising of the sun and only by His wish the

sun sets in the west. After sunset the night starts. By His order,

the day becomes smaller and the night bigger in a season and

only by His wish the night becomes smaller than the day and the

day becomes bigger than the night in another season.

Allah said in the Quran :

We shall totally surrender ourselves to Allah and say sincerely :

"O, Allah! You are the Owner of all power. You give power to

whomsoever you like and take away power from whom you
