The Ruling on Saying "It Was the Decree of Allah's Wisdom"
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Is it permissible for us to say, "It was the decree of Allah's wisdom, Glorified and Exalted is He," based on the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him): "I seek refuge in Your pleasure from Your anger"?
Answer:
"It was the decree of Allah's wisdom"? There is nothing wrong with that; it is part of His wisdom, Glorified and Exalted is He. The point is that one does not supplicate to the attribute by saying, "O Mercy of Allah, O Face of Allah, O [whatever attribute you invoke]." Rather, one supplicates to the One who possesses the attribute. Yes.
