Question:
We ask Allah for you. Your Eminence, father, the questioner asks: What is the meaning of belief in divine decree and destiny?
Answer:
The meaning of belief is affirmation. Affirmation of divine decree and destiny, and that one believes that everything that happens is by the decree and destiny of Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He). Nothing happens by chance or occurs without the determination of Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He), as the Mu'tazilah say. Rather, everything is what Allah (Blessed and Exalted is He) has decreed and determined.
