Relying on the statement: “My Lord will guide me”
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Salih says: How do I direct or advise the one who relies on the excuse, “My Lord will guide me,” when he is negligent in his religion and his worldly affairs, with Allah’s permission?
Answer:
This is the view of the Jabriyyah. Allah has guided you, made things clear to you, and given you the ability to act, to do, and to refrain. Allah has guided you, Glorified and Exalted is He. So you must abandon what is forbidden and sins. This is within your power, your choice, and your ability. Allah has guided you to this and shown you the way. If He knows from you a love for good, He will help you and grant you success. If He knows from you a turning away from good and a hatred of obedience, then Allah will punish you and deprive you of guidance, both the guidance of success and the guidance of following. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
