ll beauty and wealth are created to test humanity, as men-
tioned earlier. In this verse, our Lord reminds us that no
A A matter how beautiful, grand, or valuable our possessions,
eventually all of them will become dust.
If Allah wills, He can unexpectedly remove those cherished things
that make people forget His existence, thereby leaving them destitute.
Allah is All-powerful; He gives wealth and poverty and, as the owner
of everything, gives it to whomsoever He wills. The Qur'an mentions
this in many verses, several of which are given below:
The Keys of the heavens and Earth belong to Him. He expands
the provision of anyone He wills or restricts it. He has knowl-
edge of all things. (Surat ash-Shura, 12)
Do they not see that Allah expands provision for whoever He
wills and also restricts it? There are certainly Signs in that for
people who believe. (Surah Rum, 37)
Allah expands the provision of any of His servants He wills
and restricts it. Allah has knowledge of all things. (Surat al-
Ankabut, 62)
