Explanation of al-Aqidah al-Wasitiyya – Lesson 12

Lesson 12:[AFFIRMING WISH AND WILL REGARDING ALLAH]And His saying: 'Why, when you entered your garden, did you not say: ‘It is as Allah wills, there is no strength but in Allah.’ [al-Kahf: 39]And His saying: 'If Allah had willed, they would not have fought each other, but Allah does whatever he desires.' [al-Baqarah: 253]And His saying: 'All livestock animals are lawful for you, except those that are recited to you now; but it is still not lawful to hunt while you are in ihram. Allah makes whatever judgement He wills.' [al-Ma’idah: 1]And His saying: 'When Allah wishes to guide someone, He expands his chest to Islam, and when He desires to misguide someone, He makes his chest narrow and constricted as if he were climbing into the sky.'
