26. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and the earth; all are obedient to Him [25].

[25] That is, every single thing in the universe is owned by Allah, and He is their Creator and Master, and nothing has the ability to defy His creative command. Every thing is active according to the laws set by Allah, and this is the prostration of every thing, and this is the glorification of every thing. Even man, in natural matters, is bound by the laws set by Allah. Even if he wishes, he cannot bring back his youth, nor can he delay death, nor can he live without eating and drinking. If there is any rebellion in him, it is only in matters of choice.
