A Disliked Qadr
Translated by Abbas Abu Yahya
What a person should do if he has been afflicted with Qadr
which he dislikes
Shamsuddeen Muhammad bin Abee Bakr Ibn Qayyim aj-Jawzeeyah
(d.751 A.H.) -Rahimullaah- said:
‘If a disliked Qadr crosses a person, then he
has six considerations:
The first-
consideration is of Tawheed, and that Allaah is the One who destined it for
him, willed it for him, created him. Whatever Allaah wants occurs and whatever
Allaah does not want does not occur.
The second- consideration is of justice, and that it will
occur with Allaah’s command. It is just in fulfilling Allaah’s justice.
The third- consideration is of mercy, and that Allah’s mercy
in what has been destined is generally from Allaah’s Anger and recompense, His
mercy is present but hidden and not apparent.
The fourth- the consideration of wisdom, that the Allaah’s
Wisdom -Subhanahu- necessitated this destiny. Allaah did not destine this in
vain or command it for no reason.
The fifth- consideration is of Praise, that all complete
praise is for Allaah -Subhanahu- for this destined Qadr from whichever way you
look at it.
The sixth- the consideration of servitude of worship, and
that a person is purely a slave of Allaah from every point of view. The
regulations of his Master apply to him and are carried out due to him being his
master’s possession and His slave. So Allaah disposes him under His destined
rulings just as Allaah disposes him under rulings of the Deen, therefore, the
slave of Allaah has to conform and proceed with these rulings.
