Only God Controls Happiness
[6:17] If GOD touches you with adversity, none can relieve it except He. And if He touches you with a blessing, He is Omnipotent.
[6:18] He is Supreme over His creatures. He is the Most Wise, the Cognizant.
What does 6:17 mean? Isn’t God already Omnipotent irrespective if He touches you with a blessing or not?
6:17 is a statement of fact. God is Omnipotent and can do either or, no one else has a say. In either scenario God is all-powerful and the only One who can relieve adversity and provide blessings.
[10:107] If GOD touches you with a hardship, none can relieve it except He. And when He blesses you, no force can prevent His grace. He bestows it upon whomever He chooses from among His servants. He is the Forgiver, Most Merciful.
[6:42] We have sent (messengers) to communities before you, and we put them to the test through adversity and hardship, that they may implore.
Blessings in Disguise
[7:94] Whenever we sent a prophet to any community, we afflicted its people with adversity and hardship, that they may implore.
