Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: Is this statement from the methodology of the Jabriyyah, where some of the people of sins say, "May Allah guide us if He wills"? What is its ruling?
Answer:
"May Allah guide us" is fine; this is a supplication. But "if He wills" means Allah does not want it of you. This is not good. Allah, Exalted and Majestic is He, loves good for all His servants; He loves good for them and wants good for them. He wants ease for you and does not want hardship for you. This is the legislative will. So Allah, Exalted and Majestic is He, wants it of them, but they are the ones who disobeyed and rebelled against Allah, so Allah punished them. As for whoever turns away, Allah turns away from him[At-Tawbah 9:67] Yes.

They have forgotten Allah, so He has forgotten them
