Meaning of a Verse in Quran...

O assembly of jinns and men! If you have power to pass beyond the zones of the heavens and the earth, then pass (them)! But you will never be able to pass them, except with authority (from Allâh)! (Ar-Rahman 55:33)

This challenge from Allaah to all will be on the day of resurrection when all creatures, Jinn and humans, will be assembled and the heavens split apart. Angels will descend from all of heavens and encircle the resurrected. Allah will challenge the people assembled to escape if they can. They will not be able to escape as they will not have the ability or the power to do so with the angels besieging and encircling them from all sides.

In explanation of this Verse, Ibn Kathir (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: "Meaning that you cannot escape Allaah’s power and predestination, which are everywhere around you. You cannot escape Allah’s power or break away from His authority or ruling on you. On the day of resurrection, wherever you go, you will be surrounded on all sides by seven rows of angels. No one can pass beyond the zones "except with authority" i.e. an order from Allah [or except with the commandment from Allah]

Cross reference,

Surah Al Qiyamah(75):
10.On that Day man will say: "Where (is the refuge) to flee?" ?
11.No! There is no refuge
12.Unto your Lord (Alone) will be the place of rest that Day.

Allah Guides Whomsoever He Wills....

Assalaamu Alaikum...

There is none to misguide a person whom Allah guided...

There is none to guide a person whom Allah misguided (due to a disease in his heart)....

May Allah Guide us.....
