The Division of Will into Legislative and Cosmic
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: Does the will (mashiyah), like the intention (iradah), divide into two parts: legislative and cosmic?
Answer:
No, the will does not divide; the will does not divide. The will is synonymous with the cosmic intention; the will is synonymous with the cosmic intention, and it does not divide. I recall that Shaykh 'Abd al-Rahman ibn Hasan (may Allah have mercy on him) mentioned at the beginning of Fath al-Majid that it divides, but that is not correct; the will does not divide. Yes.
