And among the fruits of faith in divine decree: First: Relying on Allah the Exalted when performing the causes, because both the cause and the effect are by the decree and destiny of Allah.

The Shaykh : As for the fruits of faith in divine decree, he says:
"First: Relying on Allah the Exalted when performing the causes, because both the cause and the effect are by the decree and destiny of Allah". Yes.
This is one of the most important aspects of faith in divine decree: that a person relies on Allah (Mighty and Majestic) when performing the causes, and does not rely on the cause itself, because if he relies on the cause, he will be abandoned. And among the supplications of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was: .
Look at the man to whom Allah the Exalted granted what He granted him of worldly matters, where he said: , and he boasted of himself, even though it was Allah who decreed that for him.
So if you believe in divine decree, you rely on Allah when performing the causes. Look at the author's statement "when performing the causes" to see that it is necessary to rely on Allah in performing the cause. It is necessary, yes, to rely on Allah in performing the cause. It is necessary that you perform the cause. The person who relies on Allah and says he is relying on Him but does not perform the cause is one who faults the wisdom of Allah (Mighty and Majestic), except when matters become overwhelming for you. In that case, you rely on mere decree and destiny. For this reason, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: What? .
So you perform the causes, but you rely on the causes as being purely causes, and that Allah the Exalted, if He willed, what? would nullify this cause. If Allah the Exalted willed, He would nullify this cause by His saying: Look at the fire; the fire is burning. And the people of Ibrahim (peace be upon him) kindled a great fire and threw him into it. So Allah said to the fire: and it became cool and peaceful for him, even though it was hot and destructive. So it was said to it: coolness is the opposite of heat, and peace is the opposite of destruction by burning. So the fire became cool and peaceful for him, and he came out unharmed.
And the wonder is that some scholars said that all the fires of the world were cold at that moment, even those who had lit fires for their food found the fire cold, like the light of the moon, and the food, what? did not cook; they ate it raw. This is what some scholars said, and it is a ridiculous statement that should not be considered, because Allah said: so it was built on the kasrah (vowel), and when an indefinite noun is built on the kasrah, it becomes specific like a definite noun exactly. Just as the definite noun specifies the known, so the specific indefinite noun is exactly like the definite noun. For this reason, it is built on the kasrah in vocative. And the Noble Qur'an, Allah said in it: and He did not say "O fire" (with alif), then He said: to whom?
The student: Ibrahim.

The Shaykh : And was Ibrahim in all the fires or in one fire? In one fire.
And this indicates to you that some scholars take their statements from the Isra'iliyyat without verifying them. Otherwise, anyone who reads this verse knows that this statement is of no value. Yes.
Good. He says: "Relying on Allah the Exalted when performing the causes, because both the cause and the effect are by the decree and destiny of Allah".
