Did Allah will faith from Abu Lahab in terms of reality or in terms of the Shari'ah?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Did Allah intend for Abu Lahab to have faith, whether in reality or by divine decree?
In terms of the Shari'ah. If He had willed it in terms of reality, it would have happened. But He did not will it in terms of reality. He willed it in terms of the Shari'ah from all people, but for those among them from whom He willed it in terms of reality, it happened. So Abu Talib and Abu Lahab were commanded to accept Islam in terms of the Shari'ah, but they did not accept it. As for the will of reality, it has passed in the knowledge of Allah that they will not become Muslims.
