Transliteration:( Alam ta'lam annallaaha lahoo mulkus samaawaati wal ard; wa maa lakum min doonil laahi minw waliyyinw wa laa naseer )
211. It is the prerogative of Allah to upkeep whichever Law He Wants in His kingdom, to whatever extent and in whatever manner He so desires. When the laws of creation can continuously change e.g. changing of day and night, which brings about all types of changes, then laws of Shariah, too, can change which is there for mankind to ponder over.
212. 'None who can save' from the punishment of Allah. This does not include the Prophets and Saints of Allah because their help is in reality, Allah's help. Thus, by 'none' is meantthe idols upon whom the idol worshippers were counting on for help. Says Allah Almighty "Only Allah is your friend and His Messenger and the believers that they establish the prayer" (S5: V55). In the verses of this nature we learn that whoso wants to help against the wishes of Allah cannot do so by defying the authority of Allah. It should be remembered that "Friend other than Allah" are different to Friends of Allah. Hence, one should not forget the difference between these two groups.
