Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Is not eternal life among the sins that Allah has forbidden, and yet does Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, laugh at it?
Answer:
Allah does not laugh at despair in order to approve of it, but rather He laughs at the state of the servant, at the state of the servant, meaning the speed of his despair and the nearness of relief from Allah. This is a strange matter. And as we mentioned, wonder can be at something that is pleasing and it can be at something that is disliked. So Allah wonders at it, even if it is disliked and forbidden. Yes.
