Tafsir of Allah’s Creation of the Actions of the Servants
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Shaykh, is it correct to interpret Allah’s creation of the actions of the servants, whether they are acts of obedience or acts of disobedience, as the creation of the servants and the faculties He placed in them, such as the faculty of hearing, and the creation of the energies they use in obedience or disobedience?
Answer:
It is the creation of Allah, and it is the actions of the servants, and there is no contradiction in this. Allah is the Creator from His side, and the servants are the doers from their side. Allah does not hold them accountable for His own actions or for His decree and destiny, but rather He rewards them for their own actions and their own acquisition.
