Then Allah the Exalted said: [Al-'Ankabut: 22]. Among the benefits of this verse is the perfection of the power of Allah (Mighty and Majestic), and that nothing is beyond His capability [Al-'Ankabut 29:22].
And among its benefits is that there is no escape for a person from the divine decree of Allah, whether he is in the sky or on the earth, as He said:[Al-'Ankabut 29:22].
And among its benefits is the weakness of humanity in relation to the Creator, because the address is general. So however much strength humans may attain, they are weak and incapable in relation to the Creator. For this reason, Allah (Mighty and Majestic) said: [Fussilat 41:15] Allah (Mighty and Majestic) said: [Fussilat 41:15] came what He said, that Allah is the most powerful [Fussilat: 15]. So if they are created beings, then the Creator is undoubtedly stronger; the Creator is stronger than the created. So He brought the relative pronoun and its clause as an explanation and an indication of their weakness before Allah (Mighty and Majestic).
And among the benefits of the verse is that there is no refuge for humans in bringing benefits and repelling harms except to whom? To Allah. And however much they seek aid from other than Him, they will be disappointed[Al-Baqarah 2:107].
And from it—and this is a rhetorical benefit—is that among the tools of emphasis is addition. The addition of letters is among the tools of emphasis, as in His saying:[Al-Baqarah 2:107] because here is an extra letter to convey generality or to specify generality.
And you will not cause failure [to Allah] upon the earth or in the heaven. And you have not other than Allah any protector or any helper.
وَمَا أَنْتُمْ بِمُعْجِزِينَ فِي الأَرْضِ وَلا فِي السَّمَاءِ وَمَا لَكُمْ مِنْ دُونِ اللَّهِ مِنْ وَلِيٍّ وَلا نَصِيرٍAnd you will not cause failure [to Allah] upon the earth
وَمَا أَنْتُمْ بِمُعْجِزِينَ فِي الأَرْضِAnd among its benefits is that there is no escape for a person from the divine decree of Allah, whether he is in the sky or on the earth, as He said:
And you will not cause failure [to Allah] upon the earth or in the heaven
وَمَا أَنْتُمْ بِمُعْجِزِينَ فِي الأَرْضِ وَلا فِي السَّمَاءِAnd among its benefits is the weakness of humanity in relation to the Creator, because the address

فَأَمَّا عَادٌ فَاسْتَكْبَرُوا فِي الأَرْضِ بِغَيْرِ الْحَقِّ وَقَالُوا مَنْ أَشَدُّ مِنَّا قُوَّةًDid they not consider that Allah who created them
أَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا أَنَّ اللَّهَ الَّذِي خَلَقَهُمْcreated them
خلقَهمwho created them was greater than them in strength
الَّذِي خَلَقَهُمْ هُوَ أَشَدُّ مِنْهُمْ قُوَّةًAnd among the benefits of the verse is that there is no refuge for humans in bringing benefits and repelling harms except to whom? To Allah. And however much they seek aid from other than Him, they will be disappointed
you have not besides Allah any protector or any helper?
وَمَا لَكُمْ مِنْ دُونِ اللَّهِ مِنْ وَلِيٍّ وَلا نَصِيرٍAnd from it—and this is a rhetorical benefit—is that among the tools of emphasis is addition. The addition of letters is among the tools of emphasis, as in His saying:
