The Argument of Divine Decree and Its Conflict with the Shari'ah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
We say: Allah the Exalted said: "So be patient with what He wills."
The Shaykh:
He said: If divine decree and destiny were a sufficient proof, then people would be left to themselves, and no book would be sent down to them, nor any messenger sent to them. It is said that they are according to the previous division. This is not valid and is not permissible, because Allah sent the messengers, sent down the books, commanded obedience, and sent down this water, even though He decreed the decrees and determined the earth, Glorified and Exalted is He. Yes.
The questioner:
Allah says.
The Shaykh:
There is a conflict between the divine decree and the Shari'ah. The divine decree is the affair of Allah, and the Shari'ah is a command to the servants, and they act upon it.
