Then He says: 101 That is to say: God’s command over His will is supreme, but most people are unaware of His wrath and Omnipo- tence. So much for the prayer taught in the Gospel which takes away man's hope of God's mercy and makes Christians forgetful of His Rub u biyyat and they do not consider God capable of helping on earth till His kingdom should ar- rive upon the earth. As a contrast the prayer that God has taught to the Muslims in the Qur’ a n teaches that God is not helpless in the earth like one dethroned, but that His system of Rub u biyyat , Ra h m a niyyat and Ra hi miyyat are in operation on the earth and that He has the power to help His worshippers and can destroy the offenders with His wrath. That prayer is as follows: 102 This means that: God alone is worthy of all praise. There is no deficiency in His kingdom.
