Is sickness predetermined by Allah’s eternal knowledge, or also by His decree and will?
Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
No event occurs in the universe except by Allah's decree. This disease is one of the predestined matters that passes through the four stages of divine decree: Allah's eternal knowledge of it, then its inscription in the Preserved Tablet, then His will for it to occur, and then His creation of it. This is what the Ahl al- have stipulated: that the ranks of divine decree and destiny are four: knowledge, inscription, will, and creation.
