What are the ranks of divine decree, and does what is in the Preserved Tablet change?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I ask Allah to do you good. Your Eminence, father, the questioner asks: What are the four ranks of divine decree? And does what is in the Preserved Tablet change? The four ranks of divine decree
Answer:
Yes. The first is the knowledge of Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) of things before they occur; He knows what was and what will be, in the past and in the future. The second rank is the writing in the Preserved Tablet. The third rank is the will, the will of the things that are written, the will to bring them into existence and create them. The fourth rank is their creation and bringing them into existence. These are the ranks of divine decree and destiny that it is obligatory to believe in, and what is in the Preserved Tablet does not change.
