Allah Encompass All Things - FATE & DESTINY

CHAPTER SIX

Allah Encompass All Things

We talked about the believers and the infidels and how both of them do not get away form Allah’s will, but they only obey or disobey Allah’s prescribed intention in His universe. But the dispute of the non-believers leaves us several points that need to be addressed. For man is in most things contentious and he tries to find a way to escape Allah’s punishment and he claims that the punishment is Allah’s will and that he has no choice in it.

We say yes, punishment is the will of Allah (SWT), but it is you who choose the path to Allah’s will to enter his mercy and bliss or the path leading to his wrath and punishment. The key is in your own hands, for when you believe Allah increases your faith. When you wake up to worship Him in the middle of the night Allah raises you in position and when you read the Qur’an Allah increases your reward. When you do the good deeds Allah raises you to a high position and when you decline from all that, Allah distances you more from his obedience and leaves you to Satin (Al-Shytan).

And here we come to the noble verse that a lot of people dispute. Al-Haqq (Jalla

Jallaloh) says:

<<And surely, We have created many of the Jinn and mankind for Hell. They have hearts wherewith they understand not, and they have eyes wherewith they see not, and they have ears wherewith they hear not (the truth). They are like cattle, nay even more astray; those! They are the heedless ones>>

Ayah 179 from surat Al-A’raf

Those who want to wrongfully dispute would say since Al-Haqq (SWT) has created those people for Hell (Jahanam) and since He made them with hearts that do not understand and eyes that do not see and ears that do not hear, then what is their guilt to be punished in Hell?

We say that you did not understand the meaning of the noble verse for Allah (SWT) has created those people with hearts that understands but they do not want to use it and He has gave them eyes that can see but they do not see with it and He created them with ears that listen but they do not want to listen.

For if we take their hearts for example and the heart is the place where the Faith settles after it has been debated fully by the mind, we find out that they refuse the correct logical notion. They say as was mentioned in the Qur’an:

<<And (remember) when they said: “O Allah! If this (the Qur’an) is indeed the truth (revealed) from You, then rain down stones on us from the sky or bring on us a painful torment>>

Ayah 32 from surat Al-Anfal

Could that be the words of people with hearts that understand? Would not the logic make them say that if that is the righteous from Allah then may God guide us to it. But in that specific point they would rather take the wrong path and they would prefer the punishment above the belief in “Al-Haqq”, the righteous. 

Never the less we should emphasize that in their worldly life and their trade they take the right decisions to increase their wealth. They prepare for the shipments and deal with money very well, for those who say such words are the elites of Qoraish (Greatest group in Mecca) and the wealthiest among the Arabs. But when it comes to religion and the righteous, they get away from the correct understanding and correct logic and they start talking as if they have no hearts to know or understand. Allah (SWT) did not create them with hearts that do not understand, He created them with normal hearts and they refused to use it. More than that they are so negligent that they know that the message of Muhammad (PBUH) is the Right but they ask for punishment rather than believe in the Message.
