We said that Allah does not do anything except for a wisdom; does this wisdom return only to the created, or also to the Creator?

The questioner : We said that Allah (Blessed and Exalted is He) does not do ...

The Shaykh : Yes

The questioner : Does this wisdom ... return only to the created, or to the Creator?

The Shaykh : It returns to both the created and the Creator. As for its return to the created, it is because it is in their benefit. As for its return to the Creator, it is to demonstrate the perfection of His attributes, and that He (Blessed and Exalted is He) does not do anything in vain, as He the Exalted said:

And We did not create the heavens and earth and that between them in play.

وما خلقنا السماوات والأرض وما بينهما لاعبين

[Ad-Dukhan 44:38]

And in another verse:

and that between them except in truth

وما بينهما إلا بالحق

[Al-Hijr 15:85]

And in a third verse:

And We did not create the heaven and the earth and that between them aimlessly

وما خلقنا السماء والأرض وما بينهما باطلا

[Sad 38:27]

So the wisdom returns to the Creator and to the created. Yes.
