In the first place...

In the first place, he believes that Allah the Sublime creates all man’s deeds, and man has no role in begetting, innovating or inventing them, for Allah the Sublime says: But Allah is the One who has created you and the material from which you make your Gods revised by translator. A Saffat v. 96. Thus, mankind has no role in begetting or innovating their deeds, for this is related to Allah the Sublime, He is the Creator of deeds and things and creatures.

This according to (Al Shaikh Al Asha'ary) is the connotation of (Monotheism doctrine). Actually, this man believes in the doctrine of casualty, never negating its origin, but he also believes that Allah the Sublime is the direct cause for all causes which does not mean that He begets something which will be the cause for other things, replacing only one cause for the many causes that all creatures demand.

In the second place he thinks that trusting the role of man’s will and potency in begetting any deed is a kind of polytheism, which the following gracious verse completely negates: [But Allah is the One who has created you and the material from which you make your gods] As Saffat v. 96.

The Origin of Gain (Al Kasb) What we have mentioned above is the first origin to which (Al Shaikh Al Asha'ary) was committed; his second origin is Gain (Al Kasb) to which he was committed for fear of turning to determinism which might retard the doctrine of reward and punishment, hence man will no more be responsible for his deeds which will result into denying Allah the Sublime’s quality of Justice.([^5]) For, assuming that man has no role in his deeds neither sovereignty over them will lead to cripple the doctrine of reward and punishment, for it is unfair to punish a man for committing an act that he had no role and authority whatsoever in begetting it.

(Al Ashaa'irah) differed in explaining the word (Al Kasb); the best one among their theorists who tried to explain this word was the famous (Abu Bakr Al Baqulany). His opinion about (Al Kasb) in short was: Every deed has two aspects: the aspect of begetting, and the aspect of particularity and title which Allah the Sublime made a criterion for reward and punishment. These are two diverse aspects, each of which is definitely attributed to.

The first aspect is begetting which belongs to Allah the Sublime, attributing this aspect to anything other that Him is a kind of polytheism.
