Members of the school of determinism used to believe that all men’s deeds are in fact Allah the Sublime’s acts that are created for man, he is a mere container for these deeds and nothing more; they used to emphasize this dogma so as to maintain the origin of (monotheism) repudiating the presence of several resources for things and deeds in the universe.

This school does not repudiate the origin of casualty directly, but they consider Allah the Sublime as the only cause in the universe, thus everything and deed is attributed directly to Him, the late AL Mufeed violently confronts this opinion answering it ruthlessly.

Al Shaikh AL Mufeed’s citation of the text narrated by the Progeny of Muhammad to invalidate the approach that attributes all acts to Allah It has been narrated that abu Al Hassan the third (Imam Al Hadi) (A.S.) had been asked about man’s deeds, whether they are created by Allah the Sublime? He (A.S.) said: “If He was the creator of these acts He would not have renounced them; for He said in His book: “Allah and His messenger renounce the polytheists” translator. Al Taubah v. 3.

Allah by this verse did not mean to renounce creating them, rather He renounced their polytheism and ugly deeds.” (Abu Hanifah) asked (Abu Al Hassan Musa bin Jaffar (A.S.) ) about the source of man’s deeds?

Abu Al Hassan (A.S.) said “Man’s deeds never miss three possibilities: (either they are Allah the Sublime’s creation, or they are Allah’s and man’s creation together, or they are man’s creation).([^3]) If they were exclusively from Allah the Sublime; He will deserve praise for their good part and reproach for their bad (and praise or reproach will be exclusively dedicated for Him). And if they were from Allah and man together, both will deserve praise and reproach.

If both possibilities were dismissed, these deeds no doubt will be people’s acts, if Allah punished them for their sins – it is up to Him – and if He forgives them it will be His choice, for He is the source of forgiveness and piety. Similar to this, we have a long list: Sl Shaikh AL Mufeed’s citation of Al Quran to prove the invalidity of the theory that attributes man’s deeds to Allah Al Shaikh Al Mufeed deduces that Quranic verses repudiate the idea of attributing men’s deeds to Allah.
