Question:
May Allah reward you. Your Eminence the Shaykh, the questioner says: I am confused by the meaning of the decrees written in the Preserved Tablet. Is everything written, such as movements and stillness, the falling of leaves, and the drops of rain? And is the intended meaning of qadar (divine decree) every action performed by the servant and by creatures? Please give us a ruling, and may Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
Without a doubt, everything that occurs in this universe, whether great or small, is by the divine decree and destiny of Allah, including the falling of leaves, the death of trees, the life of trees, the fruit, and so on. All of it is by the divine decree and destiny of Allah: movements and stillness, walking and sitting, eating and drinking—all of it is decreed. Yes. The divine decree and destiny encompasses everything that happens and occurs. Yes.
