Question:
Honorable Shaykh, some people of weak faith complain about the decrees of Allah and say, "If we had not done that, what happened to us would not have happened." What is the remedy?
Answer:
This is what has been mentioned in this chapter: that a person does the beneficial causes and relies on Allah the Exalted for the results. If he achieves his objective, praise be to Allah; this is a favor from Allah, and he should thank Allah for it. If the opposite of his objective occurs, he knows that this is by the divine decree and destiny of Allah, and it may be better for him. Perhaps if he had achieved his objective, it would have been a harm to him. Allah the Exalted knows best. Yes.
