What is the ruling on saying: "I did not wish for the tsunami in Japan to happen, because they do not deserve it, but Allah's will is the first and the last"? Is there an objection in it, and what is the ruling on mentioning the divine will in this sentence?
This statement is a blatant objection to Allah Almighty's decree, accusing Him of injustice and folly, and implying that His will is devoid of wisdom and benefit. This is a negative presumption against Allah. Allah Almighty is the Wisest of Rulers and the Most Just of the Just. He decrees nothing except with wisdom and benefit, and He is on a straight path in His actions and decrees. Ibn al-Qayyim said: "All His news is truth, all His decrees are justice, and all His commands are beneficial." Let its utterer repent to Allah and submit to Allah's judgment, believing in His wisdom in all His decrees.
