Know The 99 Names Of Allah -- Al Qadir, Al Muqtadir (The Able, The Determiner/The Dominant)

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم 
In the Name of Allah, Most Merciful, Most Compassionate 

Allahumma salli 'ala Muhammad wa 'ala aalihi wa sahbihi wasallam. 

In one's life, one has no need to get back to people. That's why it is said, fear the one who has no protection except Allah. They are the most dangerous people to be messing with. When they are completely helpless they have no means except they turn to Allah. These people Allah will avenge them. 

Al Qaadir is the One who is completely able. He is the possessor of power. He creates everything without any help. He descends everything in a right proportion and in right dosage. He always take responsibility so you don't despair. Only when you see it is from Allah, then it is the key to Allah. Know that Allah is always with you. 

أَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا۟ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَ‌ٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ وَلَمْ يَعْىَ بِخَلْقِهِنَّ بِقَـٰدِرٍ عَلَىٰٓ أَن يُحْـِۧىَ ٱلْمَوْتَىٰ ۚ بَلَىٰٓ إِنَّهُۥ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ قَدِيرٌ ﴿٣٣

Do they not see that Allah, who created the heavens and earth and did not fail in their creation, is able to give life to the dead? Yes. Indeed, He is over all things competent. [Quran, Al Ahqaf 46:33]

The one who knows He is Qaadir fears from the strikes of His punishment when disobeyed and hopes in subtleties of His mercies and blessings when asking Him and needing Him, not by means of his disobedience but by means of His generosity and kindness. Allah is All Able and He doesn't need us. We don't see that our worshipping Him is a means to which Allah have to do something for us rather His generosity is what we have to rely on.  Likewise He is calm from revenge is out of trust that His coming to His aid is more perfect than He avenging himself.

قُلْ هُوَ ٱلْقَادِرُ عَلَىٰٓ أَن يَبْعَثَ عَلَيْكُمْ عَذَابًا مِّن فَوْقِكُمْ أَوْ مِن تَحْتِ أَرْجُلِكُمْ أَوْ يَلْبِسَكُمْ شِيَعًا وَيُذِيقَ بَعْضَكُم بَأْسَ بَعْضٍ ۗ ٱنظُرْ كَيْفَ نُصَرِّفُ ٱلْءَايَـٰتِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَفْقَهُونَ ﴿٦٥

Say, "He is the [one] Able to send upon you affliction from above you or from beneath your feet or to confuse you [so you become] sects and make you taste the violence of one another." Look how We diversify the signs that they might understand. [Quran, An 'Am 6:65]

 أَوَلَيْسَ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَ‌ٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ بِقَـٰدِرٍ عَلَىٰٓ أَن يَخْلُقَ مِثْلَهُم ۚ بَلَىٰ وَهُوَ ٱلْخَلَّـٰقُ ٱلْعَلِيمُ ﴿٨١

Is not He who created the heavens and the earth Able to create the likes of them? Yes, [it is so]; and He is the Knowing Creator. [Quran, Yaasin 36:81]

Al Muqtadir -- the Determiner, the Dominant

وَٱضْرِبْ لَهُم مَّثَلَ ٱلْحَيَو‌ٰةِ ٱلدُّنْيَا كَمَآءٍ أَنزَلْنَـٰهُ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ فَٱخْتَلَطَ بِهِۦ نَبَاتُ ٱلْأَرْضِ فَأَصْبَحَ هَشِيمًا تَذْرُوهُ ٱلرِّيَـٰحُ ۗ وَكَانَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ مُّقْتَدِرًا ﴿٤٥

And present to them the example of the life of this world, [its being] like rain which We send down from the sky, and the vegetation of the earth mingles with it and [then] it becomes dry remnants, scattered by the winds. And Allah is ever, over all things, Perfect in Ability. [Quran, Al Kahf 18:45]   

كَذَّبُوا۟ بِـَٔايَـٰتِنَا كُلِّهَا فَأَخَذْنَـٰهُمْ أَخْذَ عَزِيزٍ مُّقْتَدِرٍ ﴿٤٢

They denied Our signs, all of them, so We seized them with a seizure of one Exalted in Might and Perfect in Ability. [Quran, Al Qamar 54:42]  

If we realized that Allah is the All Mighty, He will take care of the bad guys. We don't feel the need that we have to get back to everyone. When we read the news about someone being oppressed, we can get depressed but don't forget that the Lord is Al Qaadir, Al Muqtadir, Al Muntaqim, Al Aziz, Al Jabbar and the time will come that He will avenge the criminals and when He does that no one can escape His vengeance. When we know that we will feel a trust and so we don't enter into depression. We realize the matter will come when He wills. When it does come no one can send it back.

O Allah have mercy on us. Don't leave us alone even for a blinking of an eye. Aameen.

Allahumma salli 'ala Muhammad wa 'ala aalihi wa sahbihi wasallam. 

And Allah knows best and is Most Wise, and He alone grants success, and to Him is the final return of all. 

Wassalaam
