Question:
Following this, a message was received by the program from one of the female listeners from al-Ta'if, who indicated her name with the letter (N). Our sister asks about His saying (peace and blessings be upon him) : [Yusuf:21]. Is the word "Ghalib" (Prevailing) one of the attributes of Allah, and what is the meaning of this verse? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
Its meaning is that He, Exalted is He, is prevailing over His affair, and people do not prevail over Him. Rather, what He wills comes to be and is executed, even if people are not pleased with it. As Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) said in His great Book: [Ya-Sin:82], [Al-An'am:112], [At-Takwir 81:28] And you do not will except that Allah, the Lord of the worlds, wills [At-Takwir:28-29]. So His will is executed (peace and blessings be upon him) . If one says: "What Allah wills, there is no power except with Allah," this is good speech. And Allah, Exalted is He, is the Prevailing over His affair, meaning His will is executed, [Ya-Sin:82]. So no one can prevail over Him; no one prevails over Him. Rather, what He wills is executed, even if people are not pleased with it, and even if people do not want it. Whether that thing is the killing of a person, the victory of a group, their defeat, or other matters, His command is the prevailing one (peace and blessings be upon him) . His command (Exalted and Majestic is He) is the prevailing one over the affairs of people. Nothing prevails over Him (Exalted and Majestic is He). Yes.
The presenter : May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good.

Its meaning is that He, Exalted is He, is prevailing over His affair, and people do not prevail over Him. Rather, what He wills comes to be and is executed, even if people are not pleased with it. As Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) said in His great Book:
His command is only when He intends a thing that He says to it, "Be," and it is.
إِنَّمَا أَمْرُهُ إِذَا أَرَادَ شَيْئًا أَنْ يَقُولَ لَهُ كُنْ فَيَكُونُBut if your Lord had willed, they would not have done it
وَلَوْ شَاءَ رَبُّكَ مَا فَعَلُوهُFor whoever wills among you to take a right course.
لِمَنْ شَاءَ مِنْكُمْ أَنْْ يَسْتَقِيمَ His command is only when He intends a thing that He says to it, "Be," and it is.
