Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on a person saying, "And the power of Allah willed that things be such and such"?
Answer:
No, this is not permissible. Matters are not attributed to the power; they are attributed to Allah. You say, "Allah willed," not "the power of Allah willed," because this implies that the power is other than Allah. Say, "What Allah willed," and do not say, "His power willed."
