LessonsHuman Capacity: Power, Action, and ConditionsQuiz

فإن قصد فعل الخير خلق الله تعالى قدرة فعل الخير ... وإن قصد فعل الشر خلق الله تعالى قدرة فعل الشر
When a person intends good, God creates the power associated with that good action; when the person intends evil, He creates the power associated with that evil action.

The point is not to make human intention irrelevant. An intention to worship and an intention to sin are morally different even though both events remain within divine creation.

Reward and punishment concern the servant's intention, choice, and acquisition, not an independent power to create existence. Nor does an evil deed's occurrence imply that it is religiously approved.
