Aqida

His Works are full of wisdom, whether we know of them or not. He does not need a reason to do anything. A reason is that which causes benefit to the one commanding any action (and Allah is free from this). His doings do not depend on justification or excuse to do anything which He Wills. Through His Wisdom, He has made one thing the means for another. He has created eyes for seeing, ears to hear, fire to burn and water to quench thirst. If He Wills, then the eyes may hear, the ears may see, fire may burn and water may quench thirst. If He does not will, then in the day, a thousand eyes may not see a mountain, there may be a million fires and one straw may not even be tarnished.

What a powerful fire was that in which the kaafirs threw Hazrat Ibraheem (alaihis salaam) into? None could even go close to it. He was catapulted into the fire. When he came into contact with the fire, then Hazrat Jibraeel (alaihis salaam) descended and said, "O Ibraheem! Do you have any request? He replied, "I do, but not from you." Jibraeel (alaihis salaam) said, "Then ask from him from whom you have need." He replied, "He knows best what my need is." Then Almighty Allah commanded, "O Fire! Become cool and peaceful upon Ibraheem." On hearing this command of Almighty Allah, all the fires on earth became cool, each thinking that the command was for it. The Great scholars have stated that the fire became so cold, that if the word peaceful" had not been used, then it would have become so cold, that it could have caused harm.
