The student: The claim that injustice is negated from Allah...
The Shaykh : No, this is an error. This is the statement of the Jabriyyah. It is not correct. They say that injustice is impossible for Allah by His essence, not because Allah does not will it. This is because they say that injustice is for a person to dispose of the property of another. And Allah the Exalted, when He disposes of His own property, is not unjust. So, in their claim, it is permissible and not injustice to punish the one who obeyed, who spent his night and day in the obedience of Allah, by punishing him with the punishment of the disbeliever. And in their view, this is not injustice, because it can be said: Allah did not dispose except in His own property. And on this basis, al-Sakkarini (may Allah have mercy on him) said:
It is permissible for the Master to torment the people without any sin or crime having been committed.
So everything from Him the Exalted is beautiful, because He is not questioned about His actions.
