Is Disliking the Heat a Rejection of Allah’s Decree?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you and bless your knowledge. This questioner says: Some people complain about the weather in the Kingdom, particularly in Riyadh. Does this affect a person’s tawhid (the oneness of Allah), since he has not submitted his affairs to Allah?
Answer:
For a person to dislike the heat, to dislike this, there is nothing wrong with it. Therefore, when a person seeks comfort from these things, he buys air conditioners and does things that alleviate these things for him; he takes the causes. There is nothing wrong with this. Disliking it psychologically is not a problem. However, if he complains about Allah’s decree, that is what poses the danger to the person. He should not complain about Allah’s decree; he should be pleased with Allah’s decree, but he should take the protective measures against what is disliked.
