Nothing Happens Without Divine Concurrence


In the Name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful

Extract from Chapter 43 of QUR’AANIC STUDIES – A Modern Tafsir:

79. Am abramoo amran fa-inna mubrimoona

79. Do they decide what to do? Then We decide what to do.8

8. There is an inevitable divine reaction to every human plan of action. Say, for example, a thief decides to burgle a house one dark night. A divine plan, in relation to that human plan, does immediately get set up. If it is the divine Will that the intended victim be punished for some bad deed on his part or be put to one of those many trials and tribulations of human life, the thief’s plan gets facilitated and the burglary happens. Otherwise, it fails. Nothing can happen in this world without divine concurrence.
