Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This person keeps asking what is the meaning of this phrase:
Allah is over all things competent.اللَّهَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ
[Ali 'Imran 3:165]
This is a mistake.

Answer:
This is the saying of the Asha'irah:
over all things competent.عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ
[Ali 'Imran 3:165]
. Rather, Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) said: "Over every single thing." Yes. And He did not say "over what He wills" except in one verse. I am unsure which surah it is in. He said: "And He is able to gather them." Okay.
And of his signs is the creation of the heavens and earth and what He has dispersed throughout them of creatures. And He, for gathering them when He wills, is competent.وَمِنْ آيَاتِهِ خَلْقُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَثَّ فِيهِمَا مِن دَابَّةٍ وَهُوَ عَلَىٰ جَمْعِهِمْ إِذَا يَشَاءُ قَدِيرٌ
[Ash-Shuraa 42:29]
This is on the Day of Resurrection. If Allah wills to gather the people of the heavens and the earth on the Day of Resurrection, He is able to do so.
