Listen :

And nothing occurs except what He wills.

In this is the affirmation of Al Qadr (predestination) and Al Iraadah (decree), so nothing happens in His domain nor does anything come to pass in His creation except through His universal decree.

“Verily, His command, when He intends a thing, is only that He says to it “Be!” – and it is.” [Soorah Ya- Sin 36:82].

So all good and evil occurs through His universal decree, and nothing is outside of His decree, and this contains a refutation upon the Qadariyyah whom negate Al Qadr, and they think that it is the Abd (slave) himself who creates and brings about his action; how High is Allaah from what they say! In this is the weakening of Allaah, that there occurs in the creation what He the Glorious and Most High does not desire, and it is describing Allaah with a deficiency. So everything that takes place in the creation from good or evil, then it is by the decree of Allaah. So He creates good out of wisdom, and He creates evil out of wisdom. So in perspective, His creation of it is not evil, because it was from great wisdom, and for a tremendous goal, (and that is) as a trial and a test, and to separate the wicked from the good, and to reward good deeds, and to punish evil deeds. He the Glorious and Most High has wisdom in that, and He did not create it frivolously.
