The Cosmic Will and the Religious Will
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, you mentioned in your talk that Allah does whatever He wills, and then you said, may Allah preserve you, regarding the religious will: Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, willed for the fortune-teller to submit, but that did not happen.
Answer:
He does what He wills by the cosmic will, my brother. The cosmic will is that from which nothing deviates. As for the religious will, it may or may not be realized according to the wisdom of Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He. So there is a difference between the religious will and the cosmic will. Understand this.
