Urdu term or phrase: Meaning of اللہ کی قدرت in English
Please guide me how to translate the sentence یہ اللہ کی قدرت ہے۔

Local time: 10:19
Providence, Divine providence, dominion of God, work of God
Explanation:
I would request more context for this because this phrase is also at times used in the same way as يہ اللہ کی شان ہے...when indicating surprise at something improbable. So then the sentence would translate more like "These are God's works."

Just for اللہ کی قدرت "Providence" is a very succinct word in English. It can be stated as "divine providence" but often even on its own or especially with a capital 'P' it means the same...but again I would request more context to determine its use:
