Exegesis of His saying, the Exalted: (On the Day when no soul will have power over another soul, and the matter on that Day is [entirely] for Allah)
Allah the Exalted said: [Al-Infitar:19] On the Day of Resurrection, no one has power over anyone else, neither in bringing good nor in warding off harm, except by the permission of Allah (Mighty and Majestic), as He said: [Al-Infitar 82:19] In this world, there are people who give orders, such as princes, ministers, heads, fathers, and mothers, but in the Hereafter, that is not possible,The matter is for Allah (Mighty and Majestic):[Al-Infitar 82:19] except by the permission of Allah. Therefore, on that Day, people will be afflicted with grief and distress that they cannot bear. Then they will seek intercession from Adam, then Noah, then Abraham, then Moses, then Jesus, until it reaches our Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), who will intercede by the permission of Allah,So Allah will relieve the people from the standing:[Al-Infitar 82:19] We said: Yes, the matter is for Allah the Exalted on the Day of Judgment and before it. However, the manifestation of His command on that Day is far greater than the manifestation of His command in this world; because in this world, a person may disobey the commands of Allah (Mighty and Majestic) and obey the command of his master, so the matter is not for Allah in the case of that person. But in the Hereafter, there is nothing but the command of Allah (Mighty and Majestic),And this is like His saying, the Exalted: [Ghafir:16] And sovereignty belongs to Allah in this world and the Hereafter. But on that Day, the sovereignty and command of Allah (Mighty and Majestic) become manifest, and it becomes clear that there is no commander on that Day except Allah (Mighty and Majestic).
And with this, what was possible of the discussion on Surat al-Infitar has ended.
Allah the Exalted said:
It is the Day when a soul will not possess for another soul [power to do] a thing; and the command, that Day, is [entirely] with Allah.
يَوْمَ لا تَمْلِكُ نَفْسٌ لِنَفْسٍ شَيْئاً وَالْأَمْرُ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِلَّهِand the command, that Day, is [entirely] with Allah.
وَالْأَمْرُ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِلَّهِa soul will not possess for another soul [power to do] a thing
لا تَمْلِكُ نَفْسٌ لِنَفْسٍ شَيْئاًand the command, that Day, is [entirely] with Allah.
وَالْأَمْرُ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِلَّهِTo whom belongs [all] sovereignty this Day? To Allah, the One, the Prevailing.
لِمَنِ الْمُلْكُ الْيَوْمَ لِلَّهِ الْوَاحِدِ الْقَهَّارِAnd with this, what was possible of the discussion on Surat al-Infitar has ended.
