يُقَدِّرُ اللهُ ويَقْضِي كِلا الحُكْمَيْنِ: الحُكْمِ الشَّرْعِيِّ (وهو ما يُحِبُّهُ ويَأْمُرُ بهِ، وقد يَقَعُ وقد لا يَقَعُ)، والحُكْمِ الكَوْنِيِّ (وهو ما قد يُحِبُّهُ أو لا يُحِبُّهُ، لكنَّهُ لا بُدَّ أن يَقَعَ). ويُقَدِّرُ اللهُ ويَقْضِي كُلَّ ما يَحْدُثُ بحِكْمَتِهِ البالغةِ الكاملةِ التي لا نِهايةَ لها.

Allaah () decrees and decides both the legislative decree (that which He likes and commands and may or may not happen) and the universal decree (that which He may or may not like, yet must happen). Allaah decrees and decides everything that happens due to His infinite, perfect wisdom.

أما قوله: «لا مُعقِّبَ لِحُكْمِكَ»، فمعناه أنه لا أحد يحكم بشيء يتجاوز مشيئته. فلا يحكم العباد ولا يقضون بشيء فوق حكم الله أبدًا، بينما يحكم الله فيهم حتمًا. وهو يُحاسب عباده، ولا يُحاسبه أحد، كما قال تعالى: ﴿لَا يُسْأَلُ عَمَّا يَفْعَلُ وَهُمْ يُسْأَلُونَ﴾. [Soorah al-Anbiyaa, 21:23]

As for the wording, “no one decrees against You,” this means that there is none other that can decree anything over and beyond His will. So the servants will never judge or make any decision over Allaah’s, while Allaah will certainly judge them. And He will question His servants, and no one will ever question Him as He says, “He is not questioned about what He does, but they will be questioned.” [Soorah al-Anbiyaa, 21:23]
