26. And He is Exalted above having opposites and rivals.
The Explanation:
Indeed Allah Most High is Exalted and Far from having al-adhdaad (an opposite), opposing His command and His Rulings and His Creation and His Dominion or al-andaad (a rival) resembling Him in anything or in His Names and Descriptions. Indeed, He is Perfected and Exalted:
There is nothing like unto Him, and He is the All-Hearer, the All-Seer. [42:11]
And He, The Most High said;
Then do not set up rivals unto Allah (in worship) while you know (that He Alone has the right to be worshipped). [2:22]
27. No one can ward off His decree or delay His command or overpower His affairs.
The Explanation:
And He is Perfected and Exalted and when He commands an affair, it is executed and if all of creation gathered together upon trying to bring about some benefit, He can withhold it or if they gathered together to prevent some harm and He wills it then it is not possible to withhold it as Allah says;
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. [6:17]
And Allah, The Most High says;
Whatever of mercy Allah may grant to mankind, none can withhold it, and whatever He may withhold, none can grant it thereafter. [35:2]
And the statement of Allah, Most High;
Verily, His Command, when He intends a thing, is only that He says to it, "Be!" and it is! [36:82]
And When Allah, Most High judges an affair, His Judgment is carried out and there is no delaying it.
And Allah judges, there is none to put back His Judgment and He is Swift at reckoning. [13:41]
And when He desires an affair, His command is carried out and there is no opposing or hindering it. Indeed, His command is executed upon all of creation.
And Allah has full power and control over His Affairs, but most of men know not. [12:21]
Synopsis:
Indeed, Allah Most High is far from having rivals or equals similar to Him and there is no rebelling against His decree, no delaying His Judgment, and no opposing His command.
Discussion:
1. What is the meaning of al-adhdaad?
2. What is the meaning of al-andaad?
3. Does anything delay the decree or Judgment of Allah?
