Question:
The word of Allah regarding the polytheists, O Shaykh:[Al-An'am 6:148].
Answer:
Yes, this is how they argue with Allah (Mighty and Majestic), saying that[Al-An'am 6:148]. This is the statement of the Qadariyyah, may Allah protect us from them. The statement of the Qadariyyah is that it is not permissible to use the divine decree as an excuse for sins, for transgressions, and for evil deeds. Rather, repentance from them is obligatory. The divine decree is only used as an excuse for the calamities that befall a person, those who, when a calamity strikes them, say, "Indeed, to Allah we belong and to Him we return," and they say, "It is the decree of Allah, and what He willed, He did." Yes.
The word of Allah regarding the polytheists, O Shaykh:
If Allah had willed, we would not have associated
لَوْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ مَا أَشْرَكْنَاAnswer:
Yes, this is how they argue with Allah (Mighty and Majestic), saying that
If Allah had willed, we would not have associated
لَوْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ مَا أَشْرَكْنَا
