Question:
Abu Tariq from Jeddah asks: In the saying of Allah the Exalted[An-Nisa 4:27], what is the intended meaning? And is there anyone who seeks to lead the Muslim astray?
Answer:
Yes, this is a legislative will. Allah the Exalted has a legislative will and a cosmic will. The legislative will is what Allah the Exalted loves, and He loves its people. As for the cosmic will, it is the decree that must occur; Allah the Exalted may love it, or He may not love it. Yes.
