How does a person flee from Allah to Allah?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : How does a person take from Allah? There is no evil in this.

The Shaykh : No, he flees from Allah from the evil of His decree.

The questioner : That is sufficient.

The Shaykh : To Allah means, for example, if Allah decrees evil upon you, from whom do you flee? To Allah. Allah the Exalted said:
So flee to Allahفَفِرُّوا إِلَى اللَّهِ
[Adh-Dhariyat 51:50]
From where? From Him. Now, for example, and to Allah belongs the highest example, if a person wanted to attack another person, and then he came running, whimpering and pleading with him, fleeing from him to him. This is known even among children; if he wants to hit him, he runs, whimpers, and says, "I seek refuge in you from you," meaning, I seek refuge in you from you. This is what is with him.
