Concerning Words and Reality

Not always does the reality of a situation match Allah's Commandments.
""Such as took their religion to be mere amusement and play, and were deceived by the life of the world." That day shall We forget them as they forgot the meeting of this day of theirs, and as they were wont to reject Our signs." ~ HQ 7:51
"Know ye (all), that the life of this world is but play and amusement, pomp and mutual boasting and multiplying, (in rivalry) among yourselves, riches and children. Here is a similitude: How rain and the growth which it brings forth, delight (the hearts of) the tillers; soon it withers; thou wilt see it grow yellow; then it becomes dry and crumbles away. But in the Hereafter is a Penalty severe (for the devotees of wrong). And Forgiveness from God and (His) Good Pleasure (for the devotees of God). And what is the life of this world, but goods and chattels of deception?" ~ HQ 57:20
Question becomes does mockery of the reality counteract the Ayats or Signs, as perceived by others? In otherwords, if we intend a certain outcome does mockery of the reality of a situation counteract the desired outcome? I am confident enough to say that, in some cases, yes. The Signs and Ayats of Allah are a corrective force and mockery of others, that are in conditions of error, may further harden their resolves on disobedience. Blog on the Mockers.
"Verily Allah proves true Al Haqq (Reality) by the Kalima (Word)" ~ HQ 42:24
This is such a powerful ayat when I think about it, and it is only something that Allah can do. People try to prove true their words by events/reality. Not Allah. His Words proves or confirms the Reality. Simply amazing. I'll add more to this...Allah is One that when he says something it will support/cause/validate a reality(s) or event(s), and thus, His Words are more powerful than the reality because they cause reality or Truth. However ppl need event(s) or reality(s) to lend validation to what they say...in otherwords they need event(s) or reality(s) to support/confirm the statements that they make in order for their words to be proved true.
"Verily, when He intends a thing, His Command is, "be", and it is!" ~ HQ 36:82
Further, the concept of the Heavens (and I am talking the actual 7 levels of Paradise) themselves are likened to that of a "Scroll" or "Book", no doubt, upon which are written the Words (Kalima) of Allah (swt) that constitutes/forms/composes their very existence. It is the artistry of Allah's Wisdom, that His Words create Realities/Realms/Dominions/Heavens and created, in the past, the Earth.
"The Day that We roll up the heavens like a scroll rolled up for books (completed),- even as We produced the first creation, so shall We produce a new one: a promise We have undertaken: truly shall We fulfil it." ~ HQ 21:104
