Read again the last sentence of the verse 40:78, mentioned at the beginning of the preceding chapter: "but when the command of Allàh came, judgement was given with truth, and those who treated (it) as a lie were lost". You will see that the supernatural event caused by the psychical power of the agent depends on a command from Allàh - in addition to His permission. That command may coincide with the said permission, or may be one with it. The command of Allàh is His creation, described by the word 'Be' in the verse:
"His command, when He intends anything, is only that He says to it, "Be", and it is." (36:82)
Also Allàh says:
"Surely this is a reminder, so whoever wishes takes to his Lord a way. And you do not wish except that Allàh wishes; surely Allah is Knowing, Wise." (76:29-30)
"It is naught but a reminder for the worlds, for him among you who wishes to go straight. And you do not wish except that Allàh wishes, the Lord of the worlds." (81:27-29)
These verses show that the affairs which are within the sphere of the man's will, and under his control and authority, are still dependent on the divine will for their existence. What these verses say is this: The intentional actions of a man are done by his will; but that will itself depends on the will of Allâh.
The verses do not say that whatever is wished by man is wished by Allàh. Had it been the case, no human wish would have remained unfulfilled - because it would have become the will of Allàh! Also, many verses refute this idea:
"And if We had wished We would certainly have given to every soul its guidance ..." (32:13)
"And if your Lord had wished surely all those who are in the earth would have believed." (10:99)
Our will depends on the divine will; our action depends on our will, and also they depend - indirectly, through our will on the will of Allàh. And both our will and action depend on the command of Allàh - on His word, "Be".
Things, affairs and events may be either natural or supernatural; and the super-natural may be either on the side of good, like miracle, or on that of evil, like magic and sooth saying. But all of them come into being through natural causes, and at the same time they depend on the will of Allàh. In other words, they cannot come into being unless the natural cause coincides, or becomes one, with the permission and command of Allàh. All things are equal in this respect; but when a prophet brings about a miracle, or a good servant of Allàh prays to Him for a thing, an additional factor, that is, the decisive command of Allàh, is added thereto; and the desired effect or event unfailingly comes into being. Allàh says:
"Allàh has written down: I will most certainly prevail, I and My apostles." (58:21)
"I answer the prayer of the suppliant when he calls on me ... (2:186)
