Al-Habih, Ajmaeen

My beloved brothers and sisters, we know that Allah is in absolute control of entire existence

Al-Hamdullillah, Ya Rabbi, Al-Alamin

All praise is due to Allah who is the Lord of the worlds

The Creator, the Narisha, the Cherish, the Sustainer, the Provider, the Protector, the Cura

The one in absolute control of every single aspect of existence

One might ask, well, in that particular case, why does he allow certain things to happen?

Subhanallah, why does Allah allow negative things to happen?

Do you know that Allah has given man and Allah has given his creatures to a certain extent

some form of a choice in some of what they do and some of what they say, etc.

So Allah has given us a choice within what he has allowed in order to test us

and this Allah explains in the Quran in a few places where Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala says

Inna hadina hu sabilah we guided man to the path in Mashaqirana wa imma qafuran

We've given him the choice either he would be grateful, show gratitude by worshipping Allah alone

following what Allah has revealed or qafuran showing ungratefulness in gratitude

and that would be known as qufr which means disbelieving in Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala as well

so in gratitude and disbelief come hand in hand

So Allah has allowed us certain leeway but all of that is within the permission of Allah

within the power of Allah nothing happens except by the permission and knowledge of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala

Now Allah has created species we as human beings are just one of those species

and Allah says la wa la qadun ka runa bani adam indeed we have honored the humankind
