How does Allah Almighty hold the sinner or the atheist accountable for their actions, knowing that the will by which they chose was created by Allah?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Allah created man and granted him will, volition, and ability to choose between good and evil. He sent messengers and revealed books to establish the proof against him. If man chooses evil, he is held accountable for his action by his own choice. The inhabitants of Hell know that Allah did not wrong them; even the inhabitants of Hell praise Allah for His just judgment. A servant must obey Allah, hope for His reward, and abandon disobedience out of fear of His punishment. If he disobeys, he should blame himself, not his Lord, for Allah Almighty is a just Judge who wrongs not people in the least, but people wrong themselves.
