(Conforming to the cosmic decree without the legislative decree either incurs sin or results in no reward) Whoever conforms to the cosmic decree conforms to His anger*** For he did not conform to the obedience of the Lord, therefore he is not counted among
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh :"Whoever conforms to the cosmic decree conforms to His anger*** Or if he did not conform to the obedience of the Lord"
Yes.
The student: Did he not conform?
The Shaykh : Did he not conform?
"Whoever conforms to the cosmic decree conforms to His anger*** For he did not conform to the obedience of the Lord"
Yes, meaning whoever conforms to Allah's cosmic decree may conform to Allah's anger. When? When he does not conform to obedience. And with this we say that the sinner conforms to Allah's will, meaning which of the two wills?
The student: The cosmic will?
The Shaykh : The cosmic will, but he is not conforming to Allah's legislative will.
"Therefore he is not counted among blame or woe*** The praise, along with reward and contentment"
"Not counted among" means that the one who conforms to the cosmic decree is not free from blame, meaning he must be blamed because he opposed obedience.
"Or he misses*** The praise, along with reward and contentment"
Meaning, or he misses the praise, the reward, and the contentment. So he is either blamed if the thing he did was disliked, or he misses the praise, contentment, and reward if he left something that is loved. Do you understand? For example, one who commits unlawful sexual intercourse, may Allah protect us from it, is blamed; the blame befalls him. And one who does not perform the obligatory act misses the praise, reward, and contentment, though he may be blamed from another angle.
Yes.
