CHAPTER FIVE
Except what Allah wills
We have
pointed out how the freedom granted by Allah to man is represented in the way
man directs the energy created by Allah in his body towards obeying or towards
disobeying, And we have mentioned that Allah (SWT) has given man the ultimate
freedom to direct that energy towards what he wants so that judgment will be
just. At this point we can find some people pausing at the noble verse where
Allah says:
<<And We sent not a Messenger except with the
language of his people, in order that he might make (The Message) clear for
them. Then Allah misleads whom He wills and guides whom He wills. And He is the
All-Mighty, the AllWise>>
Ayah 4 from Surat Ibrahim
And in His saying (TWT):
<<Thus Allah leads astray whom He wills and guides
whom He wills. And none can know the hosts of your Lord but He>>
Ayah 31 from Surat Al-Mudather
And there
are a lot of verses in the noble Qur’an that we are going through in this
chapter and they all confirm that Allah leads astray whom He wills and guides
whom He wills. If that is the truth where the will of Allah (Jalla Jallaloh) is
what leads astray or leads to the right path, then how will the judgment be just?
And do any of us hold anything in his hands against the divine will of Allah (SWT)?
First, we
say that Allah (SWT) has the ultimate power in His universe for all the rulings
of this universe are created by Allah (Jalla Jallaloh) and the creature can never
control the will of his creator. That is why Al-Haqq (SWT) the creator of the universal
laws has breached them for his prophets. He made the fire whose ruling is to
burn, cool and peaceful for Ibrahim (PBUH) and He made the sea with its ruling
to estetraq, splits for Moses (PBUH) and He gave
Eissa (Jesus PBUH) with His own leave the ability to heal those who are born
blind, the lepers and to resurrect the dead. Allah gave all those miracles to
His prophets to strengthen their proclamation of Allah, but He (Azz wa Jall)
did not want to limit the absolute power to his prophets only. For we can see
that absolute power every day in watching the weak having victory over the
strong, or the discriminated having victory over the compelling, or a powerless
person having victory over the powerful.
To be continued....
