Peace to you!
As I humbly believe, God has unlimited holy attributes . One of these is AL-JABBAR. This divine attribute means: The One Who repairs and reforms; The One Who fulfils the needs of people; The One Who rules His creation according to His will (but without compulsion) ; That Being Who continues to be higher and higher and Whose respect never reduces.

This name of God appears in holy Quran as:
He is Allah, there is none worthy of worship except Him, Al-Malik (the Sovereign), Al-Quddus (the Holy One), Al-Salam (the Source of Peace), Al-Momin (the Bestower of Security), Al-Mohaimin (the Protector), Al-Aziz (the Prevailer), AL- JABBAR ( the Repairer / the Subduer), Al-Mutakabbir (the Exalted). Holy is Allah, far above that which they associate (with Him). (ch 59, v 24)

God is sovereign without any default. On the other hand, human sovereignty is not without default. If all the subjects of an earthly sovereign were to leave their country etc, his sovereignty would come to an end, as explained by the Ahmadiyya caliph. God is source of peace. He bestows security. He safeguards all and is supreme over all and sets right all that might have gone wrong and is completely self-sufficient.
