Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the meaning of His saying[Al-Mu'minun 23:88]?
Answer:
He grants safety to the one who seeks His protection and takes refuge in Him, the Exalted. No one can grant safety to the one whom Allah has willed and sought; no one can prevent the punishment of Allah from him or prevent the harm of Allah from him. No one is able to do this. There is no preventer of what He has given, and no giver of what He has withheld. Yes.
