MUHAMMAD’S TEACHINGS TO MANKIND
“ ‘Abdullāh Ibn-Qays related, "We were with the Messenger of God, peace and blessings of God be upon him, in a battle. When we headed back and approached Madīnah, the people made takbīr (1) once in a loud voice. Thereupon the Messenger of God, peace and blessings of God be upon him, said, 'Verily, your Lord is not deaf, nor is He absent! He is between you and the heads of your mounts.' Then he added, '‘Abdullāh Ibn-Qays, shall I teach you a treasure from the treasures of Paradise? There is no ability or power not given by God (2).'" The expression "between you and the heads of your mounts" signifies (the comprehensiveness of) God's knowledge and omnipotence. Footnotes: (1) Testifying in God's greatness (2) i.e. a person’s situation will not change from one state to another and he will not be able to make that change except with God’s will. ”
