The creation is loved and hated by Him *** and both are by the will of the Most Merciful (The wisdom behind the occurrence of what Allah hates despite His ability to prevent it)

The Shaykh : And all of it is loved and hated by Him
Yes
"The creation is loved and hated by Him *** and both are by the will of the Most Merciful"
The creation, meaning the created things, is loved by whom? By Allah, and hated by Him, and both are by the will of Allah the Exalted. If Allah the Exalted wills for what He loves to occur, there is nothing strange about it. But if He wills for what He dislikes and hates to occur, there is something strange about it. How does Allah, Glorified and Exalted, will for what He hates to occur when He is capable of preventing it? We say that what Allah hates is hated by Allah from one aspect and loved by Him from another aspect. Indeed, disbelief is hated by Allah, without doubt, and corruption is hated by Allah. But Allah decrees it for great benefits that follow from it. Were it not for disbelief, the value of faith would not be known. Were it not for disbelief, neither this world nor the Hereafter would be established, for Allah created the Fire and created for it certain people. Were it not for disbelief, the markets of enjoining good and forbidding evil would not be established. Were it not for disbelief, the two groups would not face each other on the battlefield in fighting: the disbelievers and the believers. Thus, the objectives of disbelief are praiseworthy, even though it is hated by Allah, Mighty and Majestic.
Allahu Akbar.
