Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
In his other question, he asks: What is the meaning of the hadith of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) that says, “Nothing can avert the divine decree except supplication”?
Answer:
Supplication is part of the decree, my brother. Allah decreed that you would supplicate. The One who decreed the decree decreed that you would supplicate. And supplication averts the decree by the permission of Allah. It is treating the decree with the decree. As 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: We go from the decree of Allah, from the destiny of Allah, to the destiny of Allah. Yes.
The presenter:
Yes, may Allah bless you.
