Question:
Is the statement that the abundance of spring this year is due to the abundance of rain considered minor shirk (associating partners with Allah), or is it said that its abundance is by the grace and mercy of Allah?
Answer:
Yes, and the rains are a cause; if the rains had not come, it would not have occurred. It is all from Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He). The rains are a cause for the spring, and it is from Allah (Mighty and Majestic). He is the One who made the rains a cause for vegetation.
