The Jabriyyah Sect
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good, Shaykh Abu 'Abdullah. We reviewed a question about the divine decree (qadar). He says: I hope the Shaykh will tell us about the Qadariyyah and the Jabriyyah sects. Do these sects exist in this life?
Answer:
Without a doubt, the Jabriyyah are those who say that the servant has no choice; he is compelled in his actions, like a feather in the wind, and the like. This is a false statement. Rather, the servant has a will and the ability to do what he chooses and to leave what he chooses. He (Exalted and Majestic is He) said:[Al-Muddaththir 74:37] it is straight [At-Takwir 81:28-29]. The servant's will is tied to the will of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). It is obligatory to believe in that. Yes.

لِمَن شَاءَ مِنكُمْ أَن يَسْتَقِيمَ وَمَا تَشَاءُونَ إِلَّا أَن يَشَاءَ اللَّهُ رَبُّ الْعَالَمِينَ
