How will Allah hold accountable the disbeliever who unlawfully seized property, even though his destiny is the Fire in all circumstances? And is it predetermined for a Muslim to be stolen from?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Absolute justice will be established in the hereafter, and the inhabitants of Hellfire will vary in their torment according to their deeds. The unjust disbeliever who unlawfully consumed people's wealth is not like others. The wronged person will be fully compensated for their right through good deeds and sins; and if the oppressor was a disbeliever, the sins of the wronged person will be cast upon them. Everything that occurs in the universe is predestined in the Preserved Tablet. As for resentment in the heart towards Allah, some of it leads to disbelief if it involves doubt in Allah's wisdom and justice, while some of it is anguish and pain accompanied by submission to Allah. A Muslim must know that Allah does not wrong anyone, and that any evil that befalls him is from himself. Calamities may be a punishment, an expiation, a raising of ranks, a purification, or due to people's injustice.
