Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Some people, when I tell them that a wali does not create, say that Allah is capable of making him create and provide sustenance.
Answer:
It is Allah alone. Well, Allah is capable of making him create, and you worship Him for this reason, because Allah said, "Worship Allah, who is the All-Capable." As for the one who does not create except when Allah enables him, he is incapable.
