The questioner:
Yes. May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: One of the writers on the events that occur, such as the defeat of the Muslims at Uhud, said that Allah made the occurrence of that a veil for His power, Glorified and Exalted is He. Is this statement correct, or does it contain a contradiction?
The Shaykh:
This is not correct. What happened at Uhud was due to a cause, namely the disagreement and disobedience of some of them to the command of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). And what befell you on the day of the two armies was by the permission of Allah. And what He, the Exalted, said, "You will not strike them by His permission," means that you will kill them at the beginning, and Allah will give them victory. Then, when you failed and disagreed about the matter and disobeyed after He had shown you what you love, He turned them away from you to test you. Then, Allah made an exception for them and gave them good news, saying, "And indeed, Allah has forgiven you." And indeed, Allah has forgiven you. Yes.
