PODTAFSEER: CHAPTER 2 – AL BAQARAH, VERSE 20 – PART 2 OF 2

“…Indeed, Allah is over all things competent.” Chapter 2 Al Baqarah, verse 20.

Allah, the Exalted, is the One who overpowers all things and in reality, is the only One who possesses power and might. All strength which is found within the creation is granted by none other than Allah, the Exalted. There is no atom in this world or the next that can escape the power and authority of Allah, the Exalted.

As all power belongs to Allah, the Exalted, a muslim should therefore always remember that the strength to perform righteous deeds and refrain from sins comes from Allah, the Exalted, alone. This will prevent pride creeping into their heart, an atom’s worth of which is enough to take them to Hell. This is confirmed in a Hadith found in Sahih Muslim, number 266.

Whoever desires for their faith to become mighty must obey the All Mighty,  Allah, the Exalted. Only then will they be granted strong faith which will aid them to overcome all difficulties so that they leave this world while Allah, the Exalted, is pleased with them. True obedience only lies in following the footsteps of the Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, which involves fulfilling the commands of Allah, the Exalted, refraining from His prohibitions and by facing destiny with patience. Chapter 3 Alee Imran, verse 31:

“Say, [O Muḥammad], “If you should love Allah, then follow me, [so] Allah will love you and forgive you your sins…”

Truly believing Allah, the Exalted, is All Mighty will prevent a muslim from disobedience as they know there is no way to escape the power of Allah, the Exalted. In addition, when a muslim engraves this divine name into their heart it prevents them from committing oppression and wronging others. They become fully aware that even if there is no person powerful enough to seek justice from them Allah, the Exalted, will take them to account and punish them in both worlds. A Hadith found in Sahih Muslim, number 6579, warns muslims that oppression to others may cause the All Mighty, Allah, the Exalted, to hurl them into Hell on Judgment Day.
