9. Or do they possess the treasures of your Lord’s mercy [11], the All-Mighty, the Supreme Bestower?
[11] Answer: Do they consider themselves the custodians of Allah’s mercy? They are not the owners of the treasures of Allah’s mercy that they may appoint whomever they wish to the rank of prophethood, or take it away from whomever they wish. This is a matter solely for Allah, Who gives to everyone and grants whatever blessing He wills to whomever He wills. No one has the courage to interfere in His affairs.
