وَلَا يَكُونُ إِلَّا مَا يُرِيدُ.
Nothing takes place except what Allah wills.
Claim under examination: It is claimed that because a wrong action occurs within divine will, Allah must therefore approve or love that action.
What the text establishes: An event occurring under divine will and its being divinely approved are different propositions. The passage affirms will in relation to occurrence; religious approval is determined by the relevant commands and prohibitions.
What does not follow: “Nothing occurs except what He wills” does not mean every occurrence is commanded or beloved.
Application: Assess the event’s occurrence and its religious permissibility as separate questions.
