The Holy Quran 35:2 — Surah Fatir

Arabic text

مَّا يَفْتَحِ ٱللَّهُ لِلنَّاسِ مِن رَّحْمَةٍ فَلَا مُمْسِكَ لَهَا ۖ وَمَا يُمْسِكْ فَلَا مُرْسِلَ لَهُۥ مِنۢ بَعْدِهِۦ ۚ وَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلْحَكِيمُ

Translation

There is none to withhold the mercy Allaah opens to His people (such as rain, sustenance, spiritual upliftment), and there is none to release the mercy that He withholds. He is the Mighty (able to do as He pleases without anyone to challenge Him), the Wise (knows exactly when and on whom to shower His mercy).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

Mercy may be physical, for example rain, provision and the like, or spiritual, such as the sending down of Books and the sending of messengers. In short, when Allah opens the door of His mercy to people, who is there that can shut it? That is, whatever He wishes to do in accordance with His perfect wisdom, He does at once.
