The Response to Those Who Cite Divine Will and Decree as an Excuse for Abandoning Obedience

Question:
The nature of these tricks. Here, some of our brothers (may Allah guide them), when you call them to adhere to the teachings of the religion and to stay away from committing forbidden acts, their answer is that what we are in is the will of Allah, and if Allah wills for us to be guided, it will happen. They base this statement on the saying of Allah the Exalted: . A person is compelled, not given a choice. I hope you will provide a weak response to refute them and convince them, for the rest of them are good.

Answer:
These people, let fire be unleashed upon them, and there is nothing more harmful. Tell them: You do not stand up? This is decreed for you. You do not stand up? You do not flee from the fire, nor from the burning, nor from drowning, as long as it is decreed, just sit down. And by that, they will be refuted, completely refuted. This indicates that they have will, power, and choice, and that they are able to flee and able to fight against harmful things. Tell them: Do not surrender. Do not surrender. You are not compelled to this thing, and your school of thought is that the one who is compelled must be patient. Yes.
