Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: We often hear some of the common people, when they pass by someone or a calamity befalls them, saying to the people, “What is this qadar?” or, in colloquial speech, “What is this qadar?” Is this from complaining and objecting? And should it be refuted to them?
Answer:
Yes, yes, it should be refuted to them. “What is this qadar?” is a rejection of the divine decree, and that the servant does not deserve what befell him. So they blame the qadar; they blame the qadar. “What is this qadar?” means blaming and not being pleased with the divine decree and destiny.
