353 - AR-RA'AD (Ayat# 08-15)
The Quran elucidates the comprehensive knowledge of Allah over all creation, encompassing both animate and inanimate beings, and everything within the wombs. Every event unfolds according to a predetermined measure, yet humans retain agency in their choices. This concept is highlighted in Surah Al-Insan, which discusses the divine guardianship over individuals, both openly and secretly. Angels are appointed as protectors, safeguarding believers until their appointed time. However, Allah does not alter the condition of any people until they change what is within themselves. The Quran emphasizes that invocation to anyone other than Allah is futile, as only He responds to sincere supplications. The verses also describe the signs of Allah’s power, such as thunder, lightning, and rain, and the prostration of all things in the heavens and on earth, both willingly and unwillingly, before Him.
