The Holy Quran 33:17 — Surah Al-Ahzab

Arabic text

قُلْ مَن ذَا ٱلَّذِى يَعْصِمُكُم مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ إِنْ أَرَادَ بِكُمْ سُوٓءًا أَوْ أَرَادَ بِكُمْ رَحْمَةً ۚ وَلَا يَجِدُونَ لَهُم مِّن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ وَلِيًّا وَلَا نَصِيرًا

Translation

Say, "Who can defend you against Allaah if He intends evil or good for you? Besides Allaah, they (the Kuffaar and Munaafiqeen) will not find any protecting friend, nor any helper (to assist them against His punishment)."

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

The will of Allah will surely be fulfilled: that is, no power can stop the will of Allah, nor can any scheme or stratagem avail against it. A person should rely on Him alone and seek His pleasure in every state. Otherwise the evil and good, hardship and ease of this world will surely reach him anyway.
