Wama thalika AAala Allahi biAAazeez (surah Fatir: 17)

Tafseer Tafheem-ul-Quran by Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi

(35:17) That surely is not difficult for Allah. *38

Wa maa zaalika `alal laahi bi`azeez

*38) That is, 'You are not enjoying life on Allah's earth solely by dim of your own power and might. He has the power to remove you from here in no time and raise another people to take your place. Therefore, you should understand your true worth, and should desist from adopting the conduct which has been causing the downfall of the nations. When Allah wills to send someone to his doom. there is no one in the universe, who can stop Him and withhold His decree from being enforced."
