In his statement, “Nothing comes to be except by His will, and nothing departs from His decree,” is the will the cosmic will or the legislative will?

Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner asks about the statement of the Shaykh al-Islam (may Allah have mercy on him), “Nothing comes to be except by His will, and nothing departs from His decree.” Does the will and decree referred to here mean the cosmic or the legislative?

Answer:
It is not the cosmic, because the decree is a single thing that does not divide; the decree is only cosmic. As for the will, it divides into two categories: the cosmic will and the legislative, religious will. The decree is synonymous with the cosmic will. Yes.
