Al-Qadir is perfectly capable over all things — nothing is beyond His ability, too large or too small. His power is also precise: He exercises capability with perfect measure and wisdom. ‘Allah is capable over all things’ (2:284).

The limitation you see in your situation is not a limitation on Al-Qadir. What seems impossible — a healing, a change of heart, an open door — is trivially easy for the Absolutely Capable.
