Question:
The brother Fahd says, regarding the saying of Allah the Exalted:[Al-Layl 92:4-7] He asks: Is there a conflict between the Shari'ah and divine decree?
Answer:
There is no conflict between the Shari'ah and divine decree, for Allah has decreed the destinies and legislated the laws. The destinies belong to Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He), while the laws are entrusted to the servants to act upon them. Whoever’s action conforms to the Shari'ah, his action is valid and acceptable to Allah (Mighty and Majestic). Whoever contradicts the Shari'ah, his action is rejected and returned to him; nothing is accepted from him. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you and reward you with good.
The brother Fahd says, regarding the saying of Allah the Exalted:
(4) Indeed, your efforts are diverse. (5) As for he who gives and fears Allah (6) And believes in the best [reward], (7) We will ease him toward ease.
إِنَّ سَعْيَكُمْ لَشَتَّىٰ فَأَمَّا مَنْ أَعْطَىٰ وَاتَّقَىٰ وَصَدَّقَ بِالْحُسْنَىٰ فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُ لِلْيُسْرَىٰAnswer:
