Does the statement of one of the trustworthy scholars that Allah Almighty decrees nothing but good for His servants contradict belief in divine decree (Qadar), both its good and its evil? And does a person’s excuse that Allah created him in a certain form, which is best for him, justify his failure to strive for self-improvement, such as excessive shyness? And does the narration of Adam’s argument with Musa open the door for this justification, and what is its meaning? And does Allah’s decree of good pertain only to believers, or does it include all people, believers and disbelievers alike, and what is the doctrine of the Qadariyyah?

Belief in Divine Decree, both its good and its evil, is a religious obligation. All of Allah Almighty's actions are good. What may appear as evil to a servant, such as poverty or illness, may contain goodness, reward, and expiation for sins. It is prescribed for servants to avert calamities through righteous deeds and avoidance of sins, to seek treatment for illnesses, and to address their conditions through supplication and lawful means.
