Studying 'Aqeedah and the Issue of Qadar and Whispers

The questioner:
Shaykh Salih, this is a questioner studying at the college, the College of Sharia. He says his name is symbolized by the letter alif, alif. He says: What is the guidance of the Honorable Shaykh, the scholar al-Salih al-Fawzan, for one who does not love studying 'aqeedah, especially the issue of qadar (divine decree), out of fear of making a mistake?

The Shaykh:
No, this is a whisper from Shaytan. One studies 'aqeedah with its pillars, and belief in qada' wa qadar (divine decree and destiny) is one of the pillars of faith. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Faith is that you believe and you believe in the decree, its good and its evil." The one who does not believe in the decree, his faith is not valid until he believes in qada' wa qadar. That it is from Allah the Exalted, and he is patient with what befalls him, knowing that what befalls him is only by the decree and destiny of Allah, so he is patient. Yes.

The presenter:
Honorable Shaykh, the whispers of Satan always target those who delve deeply into the study of Islamic knowledge. These whispers come to them. How do they deal with them? May Allah reward you.

The Shaykh:
No, never. Those who are deeply versed in religious knowledge, these whispers do not come to them because they know how to get rid of them , so they know how to get rid of the whispers. Rather, this happens either with an ignorant person, or a person weak in faith, or otherwise. But the door of repentance is open, and seeking forgiveness is open, and praise be to Allah. Yes.
