The Difference Between Will and Decree

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is a question asking: What is the difference between will (iradah) and decree (mashiyah)?

Answer:
Will is broader than decree; that is, I mean the will of Allah and the decree of Allah. If this is the case, this is a general matter, because will is divided into two categories: declarative will and legislative will, whereas decree is only existential; there is no decree other than existential decree. This is the difference between them.
