The Messenger Possesses No Power (10:49 – 10:53)

The Messenger Possesses No Power

10:49 Say, “I possess no power to harm myself, or benefit myself; only what GOD wills takes place.” Each community has a predetermined life span. Once their interim comes to an end, they cannot delay it by one hour, nor advance it.

10:50 Say, “Whether His retribution comes to you by night or by day, why are the transgressors in such a hurry?

10:51 “If it does happen, will you believe then? Why should you believe then? You used to challenge it to come?”

10:52 It will be said to the transgressors, “Taste the eternal retribution. Are you not requited precisely for what you have earned?”
