ALLAH, THE CREATOR OF ALL ACTIONS

All actions of creation are created by Allah , be such actions kufr or Imaan , worship or sin, obedience or disobedience. Man has no power of creation. Allah is the Sole Creator. However, Allah does not compel man to act. He has given man ‘ aql (intelligence) and has guided him with the mission of Risaalat (sending of Rasools to him) so that man can distinguish between truth and falsehood, virtue and vice. Allah has further granted man will ( iraadah ) to enable him to choose and act voluntarily in matters of truth and falsehood, obedience and disobedience.

Man in this world is on a journey of trial. Recompense in terms of his actions will be in the Aakhirah . Hence, when he uses his volition to act in any particular direction, Allah does not restrain him, but creates the actions of his volitional choice, be such acts evil or virtuous, be they Kufr or Imaan .
