Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: My mother is old and she is ignorant, and she always says, "If Allah had willed, He would not have punished anyone," as if she is contradicting Allah's punishment of people. So how do I refute her in that? Explain to her; perhaps she is a follower of a sect and does not read from anyone.
Answer:
Explain to her that this is wrong and not permissible. This is not permissible speech; this is the speech of the Jabriyyah.[An-Nahl 16:35], and not [An-Nahl 16:35] anything. They say, "Allah is pleased with this, Allah is pleased with this." Allah refuted them, saying: [An-Nahl 16:36] He did not leave them; He sent messengers to them and did not excuse them on the basis that they say, "If Allah had willed, we would not have..." Yes.

If Allah had willed, we would not have worshipped anything other than Him
لَوْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ مَا عَبَدْنَا مِن دُونِهِ مِن شَيْءٍneither we nor our fathers, nor would we have forbidden
نَّحْنُ وَلَا آبَاؤُنَا وَلَا حَرَّمْنَا مِنAnd We certainly sent into every nation a messenger, [saying], "Worship Allah and avoid Taghut."
وَلَقَدْ بَعَثْنَا فِي كُلِّ أُمَّةٍ رَّسُولًا أَنِ اعْبُدُوا اللَّهَ وَاجْتَنِبُوا الطَّاغُوتَ
