Al-An'am 6:17

<h2>Allah is the Irresistible, Able to Bring Benefit and Protect from Harm</h2><p>Allah states that He Alone brings benefit or harm, and that He does what He wills with His creatures, none can resist His judgment or prevent what He decrees,</p><p>وَإِن يَمْسَسْكَ اللَّهُ بِضُرٍّ فَلاَ كَـشِفَ لَهُ إِلاَّ هُوَ وَإِن يَمْسَسْكَ بِخَيْرٍ فَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَىْءٍ قَدُيرٌ</p><p>(And if Allah touches you with harm, none can remove it but He, and if He touches you with good, then He is able to do all things.) Similarly, Allah said,</p><p>مَّا يَفْتَحِ اللَّهُ لِلنَّاسِ مِن رَّحْمَةٍ فَلاَ مُمْسِكَ لَهَا وَمَا يُمْسِكْ فَلاَ مُرْسِلَ لَهُ مِن بَعْدِهِ</p><p>(Whatever mercy, Allah may grant to mankind, none can withhold it, and whatever He may withhold, none can grant it thereafter) 35:2. It is recorded in the Sahih that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to supplicate,</p><p>«اللَّهُمَّ لَا مَانِعَ لِمَا أَعْطَيْتَ وَلَا مُعْطِيَ لِمَا مَنَعْتَ، وَلَا يَنْفَعُ ذَا الْجَدِّ مِنْكَ الْجَد»</p><p>(O Allah, there is none Who can avert what You grant or give what You deprive, and no fortune ever helps the fortunate against You.) This is why Allah said,</p><p>وَهُوَ الْقَاهِرُ فَوْقَ عِبَادِهِ</p><p>(And He is the Irresistible, above His servants,) meaning, to Him the necks are subservient, the tyrants humble …

If Allah touch thee with affliction, there is none that can relieve therefrom save Him, and if He touch thee with good fortune (there is none that can impair it); for He is Able to do all things.

"If Allah touch thee with affliction, none can remove it but He; if He touch thee with happiness, He hath power over all things.

And if Allah touches you with harm, none can remove it but He, and if He touches you with good, then He is Able to do all things.

If God touches you with adversity, none can remove it except He. And if He touches you with good—He is Capable of everything.
