The questioner:
The Shaykh: It is widespread among some writers to say, "The will of some person willed it" or "The desire of some person desired it." Is this correct in light of the Shari'ah?
The Shaykh:
The correct position is that will and desire are not attributed to anyone other than Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He). They are attributed only to Allah: "Allah willed it," "Allah desired such and such."
