Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: How do you reconcile the saying of Allah the Exalted,[At-Taghabun 64:11], with the saying of Allah the Exalted, [Ash-Shuraa 42:30]?
Answer:
Yes, there is no contradiction, my brother. The two are reconciled. A disaster has two causes: the first is that Allah decreed it, and the second is that you brought it upon yourself through your actions, so there is no conflict between them. Yes.
