What is the ruling on this phrase: “Management is from the creation of Allah”?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: I am a student studying management at one of the universities, and I have a master’s thesis on management, so I wrote in it that management is from the creation of Allah. Is this word correct?
The Shaykh:
Is management from the creation of Allah or from the actions of Allah? Meaning that Allah decreed it. From the actions of Allah, this is among the actual attributes. Allah decreed management; there is no doubt. There is nothing that occurs in this world or the Hereafter except that Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, has decreed it. But we do not know what the questioner intended by his statement.
The questioner:
And he says, may Allah preserve you: I am a student studying management.
The Shaykh:
What did the last one say?
The questioner:
And I wrote in it that management is from the creation of Allah.
The Shaykh:
What do you mean by this? Do you mean praising management and that it is from the creation of Allah? No, what do you mean? There is no need for this. Management is from the work of the created beings, and it is from the decree of Allah without doubt. It is from the work of the created beings, and the work of the created beings is decreed by Allah.[As-Saffat 37:96] Yes, but there is no need for this phrase. Erase this phrase because it is misleading.

While Allah created you and that which you do?"
