Choice in the Law
So we are
free to choose in applying the law of Allah, the right approach to do and not
to do. That law is actually the straight path that we are accounted for in the
Hereafter because the meaning of “Takleef“ is to follow that straight path and
get away from what is forbidden. That is strictly to do and not to do. And man
by law should not move what Allah ordered him to do to the scope of what is
forbidden. Also man by the divine law of
Allah should not move what is forbidden to the scope of what should be
done. For that would be mere disobedience.
For you disobey Allah’s decree if you do what He forbids you from doing and if
you do not do what He orders you to do. So that is the scope of your choice,
and you will be accounted for it in the Hereafter.
By that we
reach the real scope of choice for man in the worldly life <AlHayat
AlDonia>, or to the area that Allah (SWT) has created and within which He granted
us the ultimate freedom so that choice takes place with the free will of man.
But why do
we disobey the law of Allah and do what He asked us not to do? And why do we
refuse doing what He orders us to do? Because Allah (Jalla Jallaloh) in that
specific part made us free to choose. And if He did not make us free to choose,
we would not own the power to do or not to do. For we do what conflicts with
the will of Allah according to His law, from the concept that He gave us the
freedom to choose. So the will of Allah to make us free to choose comes first
and that is what gives us the power to choose.
To be continued....
