Everything a person does, all the success he has won and all his talents belong to God. This
reality does not change if the person is a great statesman, the richest person in the world,
a beloved artist or a scientist who has made an important discovery. Everyone lives in
submission to God and does what He wills.
human success.
In this way God tests and trains every human being. Today those who
cannot understand or accept this obvious reality will, when they are raised
from the dead, see everything in its true light and understand that their own
strength avails for nothing:
The metaphor of those who reject their Lord is that their actions are like
ashes scattered by strong winds on a stormy day. They have no power at
all over anything they have earned. That is extreme misguidance.
(Surah Ibrahim: 18)
God is the only Being who has power over all things:
Everything in the heavens and everything on earth glorifies God.
Sovereignty and praise belong to Him. He has power over all things.
(Surat at-Taghabun: 1)
