Surah Al Mu'minun Tafseer
Tafseer of Al-Mu'minun : 88
Saheeh International
Say, "In whose hand is the realm of all things - and He protects while none can protect against Him - if you should know?"
Tafseer 'Ibn Kathir' (EN)
قُلْ مَن بِيَدِهِ مَلَكُوتُ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ
Say:"In Whose Hand is the sovereignty of everything!"
i.e., sovereignty is in His Hands.
مَّا مِن دَابَّةٍ إِلاَّ هُوَ ءاخِذٌ بِنَاصِيَتِهَأ
There is not a moving creature but He has grasp of its forelock. (11:56)
meaning, He has control over it.
The Messenger of Allah used to say,
لَاا وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِه
By the One in Whose hand is my soul.
When he swore an oath, he would say,
لَاا وَمُقَلِّبِ الْقُلُوب
By the One Who turns over (controls) the hearts.
He, may He be glorified, is the Creator, the Sovereign, the Controller,
وَهُوَ يُجِيرُ وَلَا يُجَارُ عَلَيْهِ إِن كُنتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ
And He protects (all), while against Whom there is no protector, if you know!
Among the Arabs, if a leader announced his protection to a person, no one could go against him in that, yet no one could offer protection against that leader.
Allah says:
وَهُوَ يُجِيرُ وَلَا يُجَارُ عَلَيْهِ
And He protects (all), while against Whom there is no protector,
meaning, He is the greatest Master, and there is none greater than Him. His is the power to create and to command, and none can overturn or oppose His ruling. What He wills happens, and what He does not, will not happen.
Allah says:
لَا يُسْأَلُ عَمَّا يَفْعَلُ وَهُمْ يُسْـَلُونَ
He cannot be questioned about what He does, while they will be questioned. (21:23)
He cannot be asked about what He does because of His greatness, Pride, overwhelming power, wisdom and justice, but all of His creation will be asked about what they did, as Allah says:
فَوَرَبِّكَ لَنَسْـَلَنَّهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ
عَمَّا كَانُواْ يَعْمَلُونَ
So, by your Lord, We shall certainly call all of them to account. For all that they used to do. (15:92-93
