Allaah's Fadl (Favour) and His 'Adl (Justice)

(From Sh Fawzaan's explanation of 'Aqeedat-ut-Tahaawiyyah):


[36]  يهدي من يشاء، ويعصم ويعافي فضلًا، ويضل من يشاء ويخذل ويبتلي عدلًا‏.

[36]     He guides whomever He wishes, and protects and keeps safe as a favour upon them; and He misguides whomever He wishes, and humiliates and puts to trial, from Justice.

 
The Explanation – Point [36]

Allaah, the One free from all imperfections, guides whomever He wishes and He misguides whomever He wishes; and this is by the Qadaa.  (القضاء – Ordainment) and Qadr (قدر – Pre-decree) of Allaah.  However, He guides those whom He knows are fitting to receive guidance and He guides those who eagerly seek out guidance and who devote themselves to it; then Allaah makes good easy for him.  And He misguides whomever He wishes by reason of that person’s turning away from seeking guidance and good; then Allaah misguides him as a punishment for him for turning away and for his lack of desire for good.
