What Allah Willed
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner asks: Is it permissible for a person to say, "The will of Allah willed" or "May the will of Allah will"?
Answer:
No, it is not permissible. Matters are attributed to the attribute, not to the one who possesses the attribute, who is Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). So one says, "Allah willed," not "The will of Allah willed."
