Matters That Are Tied to the Will of Allah

The Shaykh : Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may peace and blessings be upon the noblest of messengers, our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions.

The questioner : Honorable Shaykh, what are the matters that should be tied to the will of Allah? And what are the matters that should not be tied to the will of Allah? Is it better to tie them to it?

The Shaykh : Anything that is in the future. It is best to tie it to the will of Allah, based on the saying of Allah the Exalted: .
As for something that has already passed, it is not tied to the will of Allah unless the intention is to attribute the cause. To attribute the cause. For example, if someone told you, "Ramadan this year began on the night of Sunday, if Allah wills," do we need to say "if Allah wills"? Why? Because it has passed and is known. Or if someone told you, "I wore my clothes, if Allah wills," and he is already wearing them.
It is not appropriate to tie it to the will of Allah because it is something that has passed and ended, unless the intention is to attribute the cause, meaning he intends that his wearing of the clothes was by the will of Allah; in that case, there is no harm. If someone said, "When he prayed, I prayed, if Allah wills." Is this correct or not? Is it correct?
If he said, "I prayed, if Allah wills," we say: if he intended the act of prayer, then the exception here is not appropriate because he has already prayed and it is finished. But if he intended "if Allah wills, the prayer was accepted," then it is correct for him to say "if Allah wills" because he does not know whether it was accepted or not. Yes.
