Thus, since disbelief was of His intention He was indeed the One who did it, planned it, and He averted His Grace from them. (p52)... Since you (i.e., Mu'tazila) think you are able to do your deeds and that you do them instead of Allah (doing them), you are the real Qadariyya (that are denounced in the prophetic traditions). We are not the Qadariyya since we do not attach the deeds to our souls instead of Allah (p57)...

Allah's intention cannot be a created thing, because a person who does not intend and then starts to intend, should have deficiency (p46)... And if one asks about the saying of Allah: 'And We did not create the Jinn and the human except that they may worship Me (51:56)', the answer is that by this verse Allah meant the believers, not the disbelievers, because Allah has informed us that He has made Hell for many of His creation.

Therefore, those whom He created for Hell are other than those whom He created for worshipping Him (p55) ... It is not required that Allah gives people capability to perform the deed when He commands them (p55) ... Allah said: 'When their appointed time comes, they would be able to neither postpone (it) for a single moment, nor advance (it).

(16:61)' If you think a murderer is able to avoid murdering and the person that was supposed to be killed remains alive, then the murderer has been able to delay the appointed time, and to keep alive people and to take their souls (as he wishes). This is infidelity in the religion (p59)." al-Ibana, pp 9-59. Moreover, other statements in his creed show that he believed the will of Allah and His intention are in accordance with His pleasure. For instance, he wrote: "...

If you say that something can exist in His Kingdom that He did not intend, then He has permitted in His Kingdom what He did not like... If His servants do that which He does not intend and does not like, they have indeed compelled Him. This is the state of coercion and Allah is most exalted from this... If He did not will the existence of the sins He would have disliked its existence and would have refused its existence." al-Ibana, pp 48-49.

Another great Sunni theologian, Abu Ja'far al-Tahawi (d. 321) wrote in his creed: "The Pen has dried having written down all that will be in existence until the Day of Judgment. Whatever a person has missed he would have never got, and whatever he gets he would have never missed.
