The Holy Qur’an’s manifestation of the word
“Power” and its implications.
Allah said in His glorious Book Qur’an: (Allah is
(He) who created you out of weakness, thereafter
He made you even after weakness Power;
thereafter He made you after power weakness and
hoariness. He whatever He decides, and He is the
ever knowing, the ever determiner. (54-55 ‫) الروم‬.
The word power can mean abstractly, like the
power of the will of Almighty Allah as we can see
clearly in the following verse. Almighty Allah said:
(and (remember) as We took compact with you and
raised above you the mount of Tur; “Take
powerfully what We have brought you and
remember what is in it, that possibly you would be
pious (towards me)). (63 ‫)البقرة‬.
He said about the prophet Yahya: (O Yahya! Take
the Book powerfully; and We brought him
judgment (when) a young boy). (12 ‫)مريم‬.
The Almighty Allah describe Himself with power
and put it among His names in many verses: He
said: (Allah has written, “Indeed I will definitely

2
overcome, I and my messenger. Surely Allah is
Ever-powerful, Ever-mighty). (21 ‫)المجادلة‬.
Almighty Allah said again: (Surely, your lord, Ever
He, is Ever-powerful, Ever-mighty. (66 ‫)هود‬.
He said again: (Indeed, your lord is Ever-powerful,
strict in punishment). (52 ‫)النفال‬.
Power is among the characteristics of the Angel
Gabriel (may Allah be pleased with him). Almighty
Allah said: (And by the star when it tumbles down.
Your companion is neither Astray nor being misled.
Nor does he say (aught) of his own desire.
Decidedly it is nothing except a revelation
revealed. He was taught by one of valiant power.
Endued with wisdom; for he appeared (in stately
form)). (1-6 ‫)النجم‬.
Power is the feature of a glorious Angels. Almighty
Allah said: (O you who have believed, protect
yourselves and your family from a fire whose fuel
is mankind and stones, (and) over which are harsh,
severe Angels, who do not disobey Allah in
whatever He commands them and who perform
whatever they are commanded to). (6 ‫) التحريم‬.
Power also is the feature of the prophet
Muhammad and His companions. Almighty Allah
said: (Muhammad is the messenger of Allah, and
(the one) who are with Him (His companions) are
strict against the steadfast disbelievers, constantly
merciful among themselves). (29 ‫) الفتح‬.

The Almighty Allah commands us to prepare well
so as to face our enemies (unbelievers) with any
means of power we have. He said in His glorious
Book Qur’an: (And prepare for them your strength
to the utmost of your power, including steeds of
war, to strike terror into (the heart of) the
enemies, and others besides, whom ye may not
know, but whom Allah doth know. Whatever ye
shall spend in the cause of Allah, shall be repaid
unto you, and ye shall not Be treated unjustly. (60
‫)النفال‬.
Among the bequest of the Khalifa Abubakar (May
Allah be pleased with Him) to His commander
Khalid bin Waleed: (O Khalid! Fight them with what
they fight you with; if they fight you with sword;
fight them with sword; and if they fight you with
the spear, fight them with spear.
This glorious bequest teaches us to be making
equality even in terms of battle we are suppose to
fight our enemies with the kind of weapons they
are fighting us with, and put our trust in Allah and
seek His assistance and victory.
If the word “Power” that is protecting a person
against his enemies, so it is a dignity and ennoble
to the person who possess it, so the vile of weak,
idle and laziness is in depth of shortage. Almighty
Allah said: (Surely the ones whom the angels take
up, (while) they are unjust to themselves (to them)
(the angels) say, “In what (condition) were you?”

4
they say, “we were deemed weak in the earth.”
They (the Angels) say, “was not the earth of Allah
wide so that you (could) have emigrated in it? “ So,
the abode for those (men) is hell, and what an
odious Destiny! Except (the ones) deemed weak
among the men and women and newborns (who)
are unable (to contrive) a device and are not
guided to a way). (97-99 ‫) النساء‬.
Like how the Islam fight against weakness, idle
and laziness also fight against tyranny’s power
whom use their power in banditism and violating
people in oppressive and tyranny way, and
committing crimes breaking Allah’s law.
The Holy Qur’an tells us in many of its verses
about some people who pride with their power and
use it to torture other people, and deny the signs
of Allah and His bestowal. Listen to the Almighty
Allah saying: (So, as for Ad, they waxed proud in
the earth untruthfully and said; “ who is more
valiant than us in power?” and they not see that
Allah, who created them, Ever He, is more valiant
than them in power? And they used to repudiate
our ayat (signs). Then we sent against them a most
clamorous wind in days of ill-luck that we might let
them taste the torment of disgrace in the present
life and indeed the torment of the hereafter is
more disgraceful, and they will not be vindicated.
Listen again to the Almighty Allah saying: (And
(similarly) how many a town that was more valiant

5
in power than your town, which has driven you out,
have we caused to perish! So there was no
vindicator for them. (13 Muhammad).

It is reported in the sound Hadith, narrated from

Abu Hurairah may Allah be pleased with Him said:
Prophet Muhammad (P.B.H) said: (A strong believer
is better and is more lovable to Allah than a weak
believer, and there is good in everyone, (but)
cherish that which gives you benefit (in the
Hereafter) and seek help from Allah and do not
lose heart, and if anything (in the form of trouble)
comes to you, don’t say: if I had not done that, it
would not have happened so and so, but say: Allah
did that what He had ordained to do and your “if”
opens the (gate for the Satan).
Islam is the religion of power in everything and the
believer man is the origin of all righteousness,
whether He possess a strong believe or the weak
one, and in both of them are good because of their
sharing in believe.
Prophet Muhammad (P.B.H) encourages the
believers in His traditions to be energetic in loyalty
to Allah glory be to Him, and seek help from Him,
and they should not be laziness in worshipping and
loyalty to Him. And they should also believe with
the decree of Allah, and they should turn
everything to His will; because He is doing

6
whatever He likes without any hindrance because
of His power and mighty.
People should know that nothing can strike them,
good or bad unless Allah had decreed it to them
because sometimes devil is whispering into the
bosom of mankind.
Islam is the religion of power in all its concern, it is
strong in its origin and branches, because the who
legislate Islam is the God of power, mighty and
glory. He said in His glorious Book Qur’an: (So, as
soon as our command came, We safely delivered
Prophet Salih and the one who believed with him
by a mercy from Us, and from the disgrace upon
that day. Surely your lord, Ever He is the Ever-
powerful, the Ever-mighty). (66 ‫)هود‬
In another verse, Allah glory Be to Him said: (Allah
will certainly aid those who Aid His (cause) for
verily Allah is full of power). (40 ‫)الحج‬
And He said again: (In no way have they estimated,
Allah His true estimation; surely Allah is indeed
Ever-powerful, Ever-mighty). (74 ‫)الحج‬.
He said in the other place: (And Allah turned back
the unbelievers for (all) their fury: no advantage
did they gain: and enough is Allah for the believers
in their fight. And Allah is full of power, Able to
enforce His will). (25 ‫)الحزاب‬

7
Allah glory be to Him created mankind so as to
worship Him and He do not have any need or
benefit with their worshipping, because they are
poors and Allah is Ever-affluent, Ever-praiseworthy.
Allah glory be to Him said: (O you mankind! You
are the poor (in relation) to Allah; and Allah is the
one who is Ever-affluent, the Ever-praiseworthy).
(15 ‫)فاطر‬.
Allah said: (I have only created Jinns and Mankind,
that they may worship Me. No substance do I
require of them, nor do I Require that they should
feed me. For Allah is He who gives (all) substance,
the Lord of power steadfast (forever)). (56-58
‫)الذاريات‬
The constitution and the law of Islam that judge
between Muslims in their ideology, worshipping,
transactions and politeness is the authentic Book
(Holy Qur'an) that challenges all eloquent of Jinns
and mankind, for them to produce even one verse
similar to the authentic Book, but unfortunately
they cannot produced. And the challenges upright
up the day of resurrection.
Almighty Allah said: (say: if the whole of mankind
and Jinns were to gather together to produce the
like of this Qur'an, they could not produce the like
thereof, even if they backed up each other with
help and support). (88 ‫) السراء‬.

8
With this great power of the sustainer (Allah glory
be to Him) challenges Jinns and mankind to
produce even ten verses similar to Qur'an or even
the smallest chapter of it but they cannot. Allah
said: (Then let them produce a recital like this, in
case or if they speak truth). (34 ‫)الطور‬.
And He said once again: (or (even) do they say, "He
has fabricated it! Say , "Then produce ten surah
like that of Qur'an, fabricated; and invoke
whomever you are able, apart from Allah, in case
you sincere). (13 (‫هود‬
Allah said again: (And in case if you are in doubt
about what We have revealed upon our servant,
then produce a surah like thereunto; And call your
witness or helpers (if there are any) besides Allah,
if your doubt are true). (23 ‫)البقرة‬.
