How can there be in the creation of Allah what He does not love?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : How can there be in the creation of Allah what He does not love?
The Shaykh : How can this be? How is this question?
The questioner : Disobedience is not loved by Allah (Mighty and Majestic).
The Shaykh : No, I understand the question, but how did this question arise?
The questioner : This is from what came before, but since the topic of divine decree was raised generally, this question came up.
The Shaykh : I mean, I did not know the answer to this question in light of what came before, so how was it directed? Therefore, I am saying, how is this question? Repeat it to me so that I may understand something new.
The questioner : How can there be in the creation of Allah what He does not love?
The Shaykh : Because He tasked people and left them to their choice, and this is a prior matter we established with the verse to the end of the verse. We also mentioned the other verse [Al-Kahf 18:29], meaning He left them with the choice. Our Lord loves for His servants to choose what they will. If they choose guidance, He loves that from them, and if they choose misguidance, He hates that from them, and all of it is by the will of Allah (Mighty and Majestic).

So as for he who gives and fears Allah and believes in the good, We will make easy for him the easy
فأما من أعطى واتقى وصدق بالحسنى فسنيسره لليسرىso whoever wills - let him believe; and whoever wills - let him disbelieve
فمن شاء فليؤمن ومن شاء فليكفر
