Translation

And you do not will except that Allah wills. Indeed, Allah is ever Knowing and Wise.

Verse interpretation (Tafsir)

You do not wish to take the path to the pleasure of Allah except that Allah also wishes that from you, because the matter is fully in His control. Indeed, Allah knows the requirements of His servants and what they do not require; He is wise in His creation, decree and legislation.
