Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner asks: What is the validity of this definition of qadar (divine decree), that it is what Allah decreed and ruled upon?
Answer:
Yes, He ruled upon it with cosmic decree, not with legislative decree. It is what Allah predestined, decreed, and ruled upon, meaning with cosmic decree. For the ruling is of three types: cosmic and predestined decree, legislative decree which involves making things lawful or forbidden and legislating, and retributive decree where Allah judges between His servants on the Day of Resurrection and recompenses them. Yes.
