وَأَصْلُ الْقَدَرِ سِرُّ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى فِي خَلْقِهِ
The foundation of predestination is Allah Most High’s secret concerning His creation.
Claim under examination: A person claims certain knowledge of all the hidden reasons and future outcomes of the divine decree merely on the basis of speculation.
What the text establishes: The hidden depth of divine decree belongs to Allah. A servant affirms what revelation teaches and attends to duties; speculative certainty about every hidden aspect is not knowledge.
What does not follow: Not knowing the secret of the decree does not excuse neglecting duties, nor does a private conjecture become knowledge of the unseen.
Application: Distinguish certain revealed knowledge of the unseen from human conjecture.
