[22].Surah Al-Hajj [The Pilgrimage]: Ayat 73-74



Ayat 73. O mankind! A similitude has been coined, so listen to it (carefully): Verily! Those on whom you call besides Allah, cannot create (even) a fly, even though they combine together for the purpose. And if the fly snatched away a thing from them, they would have no power to release it from the fly. So weak are (both) the seeker and the sought.
Ayat 74. They have not estimated Allah His Rightful Estimate; Verily, Allah is All-Strong, All-Mighty.
[Tafseer]  of Ayat 73. O men! Here is a parable set forth! listen to it! Those on whom, besides Allah, ye call, cannot create (even) a fly, if they all met together for the purpose! and if the fly should snatch away anything from them, they would have no power to release it from the fly. Feeble are those who petition and those whom they petition! Both idols and their worshippers are poor, foolish, feeble creatures! Ayat 74. No just estimate have they made of Allah. for Allah is He Who is strong and able to Carry out His Will. No one who descends to the base forms of false worship can have a true idea of Allah. Allah has all power, and He is fully able to carry out every part of His Will and Plan. He is exalted above all in power and dignity. and for the full meaning of Aziz (see also Surah 26: ayat 9).
Hazrat Abu Musa (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah [SAWW](PBUH) said, "Verily, Allah gives respite to the oppressor. But when He seizes him, He does not let him escape.'' Then he (PBUH)) recited, "Such is the Seizure of your Rubb when He seizes the (population of) towns while they are doing wrong. Verily, His Seizure is painful (and) severe". (11:102).
[Al-Bukhari Book 06,Chapter 60, Hadith # 208]
Lesson : as mentioned above in Surah Al-Hajj Ayat 74."They have not estimated Allah His Rightful Estimate; Verily, Allah is All-Strong, All-Mighty." One should not take the respite for exemption because no one knows when respite granted by Him will come to an end and punishment will follow.
