والمعتزلة أنكروا إرادة الله تعالى للشرور والقبائح
The Muʿtazilah denied that God wills evils and morally ugly actions.
Their concern follows a particular account of divine justice: if God wills a sin, how can that sin be blamed and punished? Thus some Muʿtazilī formulations describe faith as what God wills for the disbeliever and obedience for the sinner, even when those persons do not comply.
The Sunni reply distinguishes creative will from moral pleasure. Allowing an evil occurrence within divine volition does not thereby make evil beloved, nor does it automatically negate the servant's voluntary responsibility.
