The Ruling on Faith Being Created
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I read in some books that faith is not created, and also that it is created. What is the truth of that?
Answer:
Faith is from Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He; He is the One who creates it in the heart of the servant. It is created in the sense that Allah brought it into existence in the heart of this servant. This is the meaning of "created": that Allah brought it into existence in the heart of this servant. Faith only comes about by the will of Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He.[At-Taghabun 64:2] He is the One who decreed faith, decreed disbelief, decreed obedience, decreed disobedience, decreed good, and decreed evil. All of it is in the decree, destiny, and creation of Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He.
