The question

Is there a difference or an error in using the word "power" (قوة) in the phrase "There is no might nor power except by Allah" (لا حول ولا قوة إلا بالله) compared to its common meanings in scientific and political fields, and is that considered a sin?

The answer

"There is no might nor power except with Allah" is a magnificent statement indicating absolute submission to Allah and reliance solely upon Him. It signifies that changing from one state to another, and the power to obey or repel evil, occurs only by Allah's will and aid. It is a treasure among the treasures of Paradise, and it has a great effect in dispelling worries and sorrows and expelling Satan.
