4.Disobedience and peoples’ misdeeds are committed only by Allah’s destiny and fate; Allah is never disobeyed against His will If every incident in this universe as well as in man’s life is determined by destiny and fate, and if destiny and fate only run by Allah’s will and permission, inevitably then all man’s deeds of good or evil, obedience or disobedience, should only take place and formulate by Allah’s permission and will; hence man’s sins and disobediences may never be excluded from the circuit of Allah’s authority, destiny, fate and leave.

The Sublime said: [Though they could not thus harm anyone except by Allah’s leave] Al Baquarah v. 102. [And if Allah had willed they would not have done so] Al Ana'm v. 137. [And had Allah so willed they would not have fought] Al Baquarah v. 253. [And had Allah willed, He would have taken away (by thunder and lightning) their faculties of hearing and seeing] Al Baquarah v. 20.

If man disobeys God the Great and Almighty, he will rather disobey Him by means of the power, potency and authority bestowed on him by Allah the Sublime; and if Allah the Sublime confiscates his power and potency man would not be able to disobey Allah, it is a fact the Quran authenticates and we ought to admit regardless of the lengthy arguments Al Asha'irah arise about this topic.

The late Al Kulainy narrates from Hamza bin Hemran who said: I asked Abi Abdullah(A.S.) about the ability to act, he did not answer me; I tried again saying: May Allah amend your stance in the hereafter I say: Allah the Sublime Graces be upon Him did not assign to the people tasks that exceed their ability and did not ask them things beyond their capability, they themselves would no do anything of the kind only by Allah’s will, leave, destiny and fate.

Abu Abdullah (A.S.) said: (This is Allah’s religion to which I and my Dynasty adhere).([^10]) Ali bin Ibrahiem Al Hashmi said: I heard Abdull Hassan Musa bin Jaffar(A.S.) saying: (Nothing ever might be except for Allah’s leave, will, fate and destiny).([^11]) (As Sadouqu) in Al Tawheed narrates from Ali bin Yaquteen who narrates from Abi Ibrahiem(A.S.) who said: (Ameerul Mumenien (A.S.) passed by some people in Al Kuffah who were enthusiastically discussing fate, he (A.S.) asked the major one who was talking: Are you able to act by Allah’s leave, with Allah’s leave or without Allah’s leave?

The man did not know what to say.
