The destruction of enemies by their own actions and sins, not by injustice from Allah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. The questioner says: If Allah the Exalted wills the destruction of His enemies, He brings about the causes by which they deserve destruction. Does that mean Allah made them disobey Him and then destroyed them?

Answer:
Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) destroyed them by their actions and their sins; He did not wrong them, (Glorified and Exalted is He). Rather, He destroyed them because of their sins and their disbelief. They did this by their own choice, will, and desire. Likewise, the Muslim is punished or blessed by his actions. This is fundamentally well known in the creed of the people of the Sunnah and the community.
