Al-Fath 48:21
The Victory · Medinan · Juz 26 · Page 513
Not Yet in Your Power
وَأُخۡرَىٰ لَمۡ تَقۡدِرُواْ عَلَيۡهَا قَدۡ أَحَاطَ ٱللَّهُ بِهَاۚ وَكَانَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيۡءࣲ قَدِيرࣰا ٢١
And other (gain), which ye have not been able to achieve, Allah will compass it, Allah is Able to do all things.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
And other spoils you were not able to take, but Allah has encompassed them.
Insight
According to Elmalılı, this is what had not yet come into their hands; but Allah had surely encompassed and secured it.
Reflect
Ask Allah for a good you have not yet reached.
