āAllah is the Creator of all things, and He is the Wakil (Trustee,
Disposer of all affairs, Guardian) over all things.ā
(Surat Az-Zumar (The Groups): 62)
By: Dr. / Zaghloul El-Naggar
This holy ayah comes at the beginning of the last fifth of Surat Az-
Zumar, which is a Makkan Surah composed of 75 ayahs after the
āBasmallahā. The Surah is called Az-Zumar (The Groups) because it
refers to the groups of disbelievers and polytheists entering into
Hell, and the groups of devout believers entering into Paradise on the
Day of Judgment.
The main theme of the Surah is creed. Nevertheless, in some of the
ayahs it also refers to the nature of humans, the destiny of the
believers and (the) disbelievers in the hereafter, and what has
befallen the disbelievers of previous nations. The Surah gives many
parables and signs of creation that proves the Omnipotence of the
Divine Aability in creating the universe and resurrecting the dead.
