Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah preserve you, if Allah the Exalted forbids the sinners and disbelievers from accepting the truth because they are not worthy of accepting the truth, is there any issue with me asking and saying, “Why did Allah not make them worthy of accepting the truth?” Is He not the Exalted capable of guiding them, as He said:[Yunus 10:99]
Answer:
Yes, the one after it. This is a question that has no place: “Why does Allah do such and such?” Yes.

And had your Lord willed, those on earth would have believed - all of them entirely
