al-Qadir (All-Powerful, the Able)

al-Qadir (All-Powerful, the Able)
The one who has complete and perfect power and ability. By His power He brought everything into existence, by it He arranges all the affairs, by it He fashioned and perfected the creation, by it He brings to life and causes to die, by it He will resurrect the servants for their recompense - rewarding the one who did good with His good and the one who worked evil with His Hellfire. The one who, when He wills a thing to be, merely says, "Be! And is it". By His power and ability he turns the hearts and directs them to whatsoever He Wills and Desires.
"For every nation there is a direction which they face, so hasten towards all that is good. Wherever you may be, Allah will bring you together, Allah is Qadir over all things." [al-Baqarah (2): 148]
"[What is the matter with you?] When a single disaster smites you, although you smote (your enemies) with one twice as great, you say, 'From where does this come to us?' Say, 'It is from yourselves [because of your evil deeds].' And Allah is Qadir over all things." [Ali Imran (3): 165]
