The Meaning of the Exception with "If Allah Wills" in the Verse

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
It is from the first year of the current year. How will the exceptional youth of our nation be, if Allah wills.

Answer:
For example, His saying, the Exalted:
You will surely enter al-Masjid al-Haram, if Allah willsلَتَدْخُلُنَّ الْمَسْجِدَ الْحَرَامَ إِن شَاءَ اللَّهُ
[Al-Fath 48:27]
They say the meanings are for seeking blessing through the will, the will of Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He. So a person says "if Allah wills" regarding future matters that he does not know whether they will be realized or not, saying, "I will do such and such, if Allah wills." This is with regard to the person. As for Allah, Exalted and Majestic is He, He is able to do everything. For this reason, He said, "You will surely enter the Sacred Mosque." This is a statement from Allah, confirmed by the oath, and the phrase "if Allah wills" was brought in for the sake of seeking blessing, for seeking blessing with it only, and not for making it conditional. Yes.
