SIGNS OF THE END TIMES IN SURAT AL-KAHF

power, and no one else can provide any benefit or cause
harm. This reality is related in the following verse:
If Allah touches you with harm, none can remove it
but Him. If He touches you with good, He has
power over all things. (Surat al-An`am, 17)
Allah is humanity's only friend and protector. All be-
ings besides Allah are only His creation and exist and—
continue to exist—because of His will. Allah provides and
heals, and brings about both laughter and tears. Every
other being is endlessly helpless, poor, and dependent.
They have no power and no ability in their own right, and
do not have even the power to help themselves. No one
other than Allah can be trusted, expected to help, and
asked to provide for us.
