Lesson 62:

The servants literally work their deeds and Allah is the creator of their deeds.

The term servant refers to the believer and the disbeliever, the righteous and the wicked, the one who prays and the one who fasts. The servants have power over their actions and they have their own will and Allah is their creator and the creator of their power and will. As Allah, the Most High, says: 'To whoever among you wishes to go straight. But you will not will unless Allah wills, the Lord of all the worlds.' [al-Takweer: 28-29]

This category of decree is denied by the generality of the Qadariyyah - those whom the Prophet ﷺ called the Magians of this Ummah. A group of those who affirm (the decree) went to extremes with regarding this, divesting the servant of any power or will and stripping the actions and rulings of Allah of their wisdom and benefits.

Lesson 60:

As for the second category: It deals with the will of Allah as it is executed and His all-inclusive ability. This is to believe that whatever Allah wills will happen and whatever He does not will, will not. It is to believe that any movement or stillness that takes place in the heavens or on earth occurs only by the will of Allah, Glorious is He. Nothing happens in His dominion that He does not will. He, Glorious is He, has full power over all that exists and all that does not exist. There is no creation on earth or in heaven except that Allah, Glorious is He, is its creator. There is no creator beside Him and there is no Lord other than Him.
