Question:
A questioner says: One of the da'wah workers in Britain says that Allah is not able to do what He wills, but rather He does what befits His Majesty. Is this statement correct?
Answer:
No, this is a lie about Allah (Mighty and Majestic). Allah is able to do everything.[An-Nahl 16:77] Read this verse to him; what does it say? [An-Nahl 16:77] Nothing is difficult for Him (Glorified and Exalted is He). So he should not wander around and leave from there and here; he should hold onto the verse and proceed with it. Yes.
