Question:
One of them said to his friend: "Have you heard the news about the earthquakes that nature caused in such-and-such a country?" His friend replied: "Nature does not have intellect?"
Answer:
Yes, this is an error. Saying "nature created" or "nature did" is an error. Nature is not a thing; nature is an attribute among the attributes of people. Everyone has a nature. Water has a nature, fire has a nature, and a human has a nature. So, nature is an attribute that resides in another entity and has no... But this is from the ignorance of the ignorant and blind imitation. This person is ignorant, and this person is an imitator. There is no nature that does anything; rather, they are attributes that reside in the one described. The nature of fire is burning, the nature of water is fluidity, the nature of a human is such-and-such, and the nature of another animal is such-and-such.
And so, everyone has a nature specific to them. Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) made them upon it and created them upon it , and the Creator is Allah alone. He is the All-Knowing Creator (Exalted and Majestic is He) [Al-A'raf:54], [Az-Zumar:62]. So there is nothing other than Allah that creates, neither nature nor anything other than nature. Nature is an attribute that resides in the one for whom it is a nature. This is what is on the tongues of many of the people of falsehood, the atheists, and others imitate them from among the ignorant.

Unquestionably, His is the creation and the command
أَلَا لَهُ الْخَلْقُ وَالْأَمْرُAllah is the Creator of all things
اللَّهُ خَالِقُ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ
