The Meaning of Their Saying: “Man Is Directed and Given Choice”

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner asks: What is the meaning of the Muslim, or man, being directed and given choice?

Answer:
He is directed in terms of divine decree and destiny, having no power over them. He is given choice in his own actions; he believes and disbelieves, he gives and withholds, so he is given choice.
