The essence of the concepts of Ahl al-Sunnah
0:08
The servant's will is subordinate to Allah's will.
0:11
Allah the Almighty says:
0:15
“Unto whomsoever of you willeth to walk straight.” (81:28)
0:20
“And ye will not, unless (it be) that Allah willeth, the Lord of Creation.” (81:29)
0:27
And He the Almighty says:
0:29
"So whoever wills, will remember it."
0:32
“And they will not heed unless Allah willeth (it). He is the fount of fear. He is the fount of Mercy.” (74:56)

Thus, He, Glorified and Exalted, affirmed for the servant a genuine will and desire.

However, He made it contingent upon His will, Glorified and Exalted, and subordinate to it.
0:47
Therefore, it only occurs if Allah wills and desires it.
0:51
For He, Glorified and Exalted, is the Creator of the servant and his will.

1:08
his heart will be at ease, and he will not be perplexed by this issue.
