The Difference Between Legislative Will and Cosmic Will
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: Is it true that one of the differences between the legislative will and the cosmic will is that the legislative will is loved by Allah, while the cosmic will may be loved by Him or may not be?
Answer:
There is no doubt, yes, this is clear. The legislative will is loved by Allah, whereas the cosmic will may be loved by Him or may not be. Allah willed the disbelief of the disbeliever cosmically and by divine decree, but He did not will it legislatively; He only willed it by His cosmic will. And Allah hates disbelief and hates the disbelievers. Yes.
