The questioner : He said: Books appear in the markets, some of which deny divine decree and destiny, and some whose authors claim that there is no abrogating and abrogated in the Qur'an, and they deny seeing Allah on the Day of Resurrection, and that the Muslim does not see Allah. Is there any advice for these people and a warning against their books?
The Shaykh : Yes, it is obligatory for anyone who sees these books being sold to report this to the Ministry of Islamic Affairs or the Department of Ifta or the Media, and these books must be withdrawn from the markets because they are books of misguidance. If people take them and read what is in them, and they do not have a prior academic foundation, they will believe what is in them regarding the denial of divine decree and the denial of seeing Allah (Mighty and Majestic), and other things mentioned by the questioner. This is our duty, O brothers, to help one another so that such books do not spread among us. Glory be to Allah, someone denies divine decree and destiny, and Allah (Mighty and Majestic) says:[Al-Qamar 54:49] Someone denies divine decree, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2610Sahih (Darussalam) Someone denies seeing Allah (Mighty and Majestic), and Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) says: [Al-Qiyamah 75:22-23] We have spoken about this two nights ago with extensive words. Glory be to Allah, were it not that I ask Allah for guidance for these people, that He guide them to His straight path, I would have said: O Allah, whoever denies seeing You in the Hereafter, deprive him of it. But I do not say this; I say: O Allah, whoever denies seeing You in the Hereafter, guide him to the truth. Because it is obligatory for us, for our brothers who face our qiblah and slaughter our sacrifices, to pray for their guidance, not to pray for evil upon them. And in my opinion, if a man from these people were to meet you and you said, "Come, let us stand you and I before the House of Allah and pray: O Allah, whoever denies seeing You in the Hereafter, deprive him of it," he would not be able to agree with the one who denies it, because he fears the texts, for they are clear and definitive, with no ambiguity in their authenticity or their meaning. The important thing is that we must unite, and if we see books of religious innovation, we must report to the authorities and warn our brothers about them, and by that, the conscience is absolved. Yes.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.

Indeed, all things We created with predestination.
إنا كل شيء خلقناه بقدرTo believe in Allah, His Angels, His, Books, His Messengers, the Day of Judgement, and Al-Qadar, the good of it and the bad of it.
الإيمان أن تؤمن بالله وملائكته وكتبه ورسله واليوم الآخر والقدر خيره وشره(22) [Some] faces, that Day, will be radiant, (23) Looking at their Lord.
