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].
