Only God Controls Happiness
6:17 If GOD touches you with adversity, none can relieve it except He. And if He touches you with a blessing, He is Omnipotent.
6:18 He is Supreme over His creatures. He is the Most Wise, the Cognizant.
What does 6:17 mean? Isn’t God already Omnipotent irrespective if He touches you with a blessing or not?
6:17 is a statement of fact. God is Omnipotent and can do either or, no one else has a say. In either scenario God is all-powerful and the only One who can relieve adversity and provide blessings.
