The fact, however, is that even before the occurrence of the Hereafter in this world itself, he sees that his destiny every moment is being ruled by some other Being against Whose decrees all his plans and designs prove ineffective. A single jolt of the earthquake, a blast of wind, a flood in the river and a sea-storm are enough to show how weak and feeble man is against the divine forces. A sudden accident can reduce a strong and robust person to a cripple; one turn of the fortune deposes a mighty sovereign from the position of authority. When the fortunes of the nations, which have climbed to the very apex of glory and prosperity, change, they are humiliated and disgraced even in the world where no one could dare look at them in the face. How has then this man been deluded into thinking that no one else can have power over him. ### Abdel Khalek Himmat — Al- Muntakhab Does he think no one can overpower him or he will not be called to account? ### Bijan Moeinian … that he thinks that he is the most powerful one and that no one can overpower him. ### Al-Hilali & Khan Does he think that none can overcome him? ### Abdullah Yusuf Ali Thinketh he, that none hath power over him? ### Mustafa Khattab — The Clear Quran Do they think that no one has power over them, ### Taqi Usmani Does he think that no one has power over him? ### Abdul Haleem Does he think that no one will have power over him? ### Arthur John Arberry What, does he think none has power over him, ### E.
