Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Regarding Allah (Mighty and Majestic) commanding 'Isa ibn Maryam (peace be upon him) to take refuge, along with those with him, in the mountain when Ya'juj and Ma'juj emerged, He said, "I have no power over them." Does this mean "I have no ability," or what?
Answer:
That I have no power over this matter, meaning I have no strength. It does not mean that you are the owner of the religion, but that you are not strong enough for this thing. I seek forgiveness from Allah. "Power," as I told you, refers to strength. "I have no power" means we have no strength, or I have no strength, in this matter. Yes.
