Question:
The Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, asks: How do you reconcile the saying of Allah the Exalted in the qudsi hadithMishkat al-Masabih 90Muttafaqun 'alayh (Zubair `Aliza'i)
Answer:
There is no problem between the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)Sahih al-Bukhari 1385 and the saying of Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) in the qudsi hadith . It means he is prepared to accept the truth, prepared to accept the truth. The fitrah is not sufficient; one must be illuminated by the Book and the Sunnah after a person reaches maturity and understands. The fitrah is not sufficient.
Therefore, Allah sent the messengers. If the fitrah were sufficient, Allah would not have sent the books, nor would He have revealed the books and sent the messengers. The fitrah is not sufficient.
So, with the fitrah, when a person reaches puberty, he either follows the path of good or the path of evil. Thus, a person is susceptible to going astray unless Allah guides him to the path of good. Yes.
