لَا يُسْأَلُ عَمَّا يَفْعَلُ وَهُمْ يُسْأَلُونَ
He is not questioned about what He does, but they will be questioned. (Qurʾān 21:23)
وَمَا اللَّهُ يُرِيدُ ظُلْمًا لِلْعِبَادِ
God does not will injustice for His servants. (Qurʾān 40:31)
The scriptural statements must be interpreted together. The first affirms divine sovereignty and human accountability; the second denies injustice to God. Neither can be used without further argument to erase human choice or declare sin religiously acceptable.
In summary, origination and determination, command and approval, and voluntary human acquisition are different relations. These distinctions prepare the detailed debate on compulsion and choice in the next section.
