Allah’s Knowledge of the Actions of Servants and the Punishment for Them

Question:
Is it said that Allah, Mighty and Majestic, knows the action of the servant, whether it is from the Fire or from Paradise, and He has decreed it for him?

Answer:
There is no doubt that Allah knows this and has decreed it; He knows it and has decreed it, and this is of the nature of His, Glorified and Exalted is He. As for the servant, he is commanded to do the causes of protection and righteous deeds, and to leave off evil deeds. Yes. A person is not punished on the basis of Allah’s decree or on the basis that Allah knew such and such. He is not punished for that. Rather, he is punished for his own action and his own choice. If divine decree and destiny were an excuse for me, people would be left alone, and no Book would have been sent down to them, nor a Messenger sent to them, and it would be said that they are according to the previous division. This is not the case. This is not valid, not permissible, and not so, because Allah sent the Messengers and sent down the Books, and He commanded obedience and forbade evil, even though He has decreed the decrees and judged the judgments, Glorified and Exalted is He. There is no contradiction between the divine decree and the Shari'ah. There is no contradiction between the divine decree and the Shari'ah. Yes, the divine decree is of the nature of Allah, and the Shari'ah is a command for the servants, and they act upon it. Yes.
