The Ways of Allaah With His Creation

Allaah the Exalted created His creation, decreed the predestination and

ordained set ways upon the universe, individuals, nations and people. These ways apply

to His slaves, His Awliyaa' (allies of Allaah), His enemies, and to the heavens and earth. These

ways rule humanity and life on earth. They do not vary according to time or place. Allaah Says

(what means):

{so proceed throughout the earth and observe how the end

of those who denied was} [QUR'AAN: 2:136].

{This [Qur'aan]

is a clear statement to [all] the people and a guidance and

instruction for those conscious of Allaah} [QUR'AAN: 2: 137].

The Ways of Allaah with His Creation

5

{And these days [of varying conditions] We alternate among

the people so that Allaah may make evident those who

believe and [may] take to Himself from among you martyrsand

Allaah does not like the wrongdoers} [QUR'AAN: 30: 140].

{And if it

were not for Allaah checking [some] people by means of

others, the earth would have been corrupted, but Allaah is

full of bounty to the worlds.} [QUR'AAN: 2: 251].

���� {Indeed, Allaah will not change the condition of a

people until they change what is in themselves.}

[QUR'AAN: 13: 11].

���� {That is because Allaah would not change a favor

which He had bestowed upon a people until they

change what is within themselves. And indeed, Allaah

is Hearing and Knowing.} [QUR'AAN: 8: 53].
