A--- Ndiyo, wana uwezo na mapenzi juu ya matendo yao. Matendo yao kwa kweli yananasibishwa kwao. Wanawajibishwa nayo, wanalipwa thawabu au wanaadhibiwa kulingana nayo, na Allah hamkalifishi mtu isipokuwa kwa lile analoweza. Amelithibitisha hili katika Qur'ani Tukufu yake na Sunnah ya Mtume.

A--- Yes, they have ability and will over their acts. Their acts are actually attributed to them. They are charged therewith, rewarded and punished with accordance thereto, and Allah charged only with what they can afford. He affirmed this in His Glorious Qur'an and the Prophetic Sunnah.

Lakini, wao wanaonyesha uwezo tu kwa yale Yeye aliyowawezesha, wanaonyesha mapenzi tu kwa yale Aliyoyapenda, wanaweza kufanya tu yale Anayowafanya wayafanye. Kama vile wasivyoweza kujiumba wenyewe, hawawezi kuumba vitendo vyao. Hivyo, uwezo wao, mapenzi yao, na vitendo vyao vinafuata Uwezo Wake, Mapenzi Yake na Vitendo Vyake, kwa kuwa Yeye ndiye Muumba wao na Muumba wa uwezo wao, mapenzi yao na vitendo vyao. Zaidi ya hayo, uwezo wao, mapenzi yao na vitendo vyao si sawa na Uwezo wa Allah, Mapenzi Yake na Kitendo Chake, kama ambavyo si Yeye mwenyewe. Allah Mtukufu yuko mbali sana juu ya hayo! Lakini vitendo vyao vilivyoumbwa vinawafaa na kwa kweli vinahusishwa nao.

But, they show ability only for what He enabled them, they show will only for what He willed, they can do only what He makes them doers thereto. Just as they could not create themselves, they can not create their acts. Thus, their ability, will, and acts follow His Ability, Will and Acts, as He is their Creator and the Creator of their ability, will, and acts. Moreover, their ability, will, and acts are not the same as Allah's Ability, Will, and Act, just as they are not Him Himself. Allah the Almighty is far above this! But, their created acts suit them and are actually attributed to them.

Allah ndiye Mtendaji wa kweli, na mja ndiye kiumbe aliyeathiriwa kweli. Allah ndiye Mwongozi wa kweli, na mja ndiye kiumbe aliyeongozwa kweli. Hivyo, Yeye amehusisha kila moja ya vitendo hivi viwili na kila mmoja wa watendaji wawili. Anasema: {Yule ambaye Allah amemwongoza, ndiye mwenye kuongoka}. (Al-Kahf, 17) Kwa kuhusisha uongozi na Allah, na kupokea uongozi kwa mja. Kwa kuwa anayetoa uongozi si kama anayepokea uongozi, basi uongozi si sawa na kupokea uongozi. Vivyo hivyo, Allah Mtukufu huwapoteza wale anaowataka, na mja huyo anaonekana kuwa amepotea kweli. Hii ni sawa na jinsi Allah anavyotenda kwa waja Wake. Basi, anayehusisha kitendo na athari kwa mja, huwa kafiri; na anayehusisha vyote viwili kwa Allah, naye huwa kafiri; na anayehusisha kitendo kwa Muumba na athari kwa kiumbe, huyo ndiye muumini wa kweli.

Allah is the real Doer, and the slave is the real influenced (creature), Allah is the real Guide, and the slave is the real guided (creature), thus, He attributed each of the two acts to each doer. He says: {He whom Allah guides, he is the rightly guided}. (Al-Kahf, 17) By attributing guidance to Allah and receiving guidance to the slave. As the guidance-giver is unlike the guidance receiver, the guidance is unlike receiving guidance. By the same token, Allah the Almighty misleads whomsoever He wills, and that slave is seen as a real astray. This is the same of Allah's Acting regarding His slaves. So, he who attributes the act and the influence to the slave, he becomes a disbeliever; and he who attributes both to Allah, he becomes a disbeliever; and he who attributes the act to the Creator and the influence to the creature, he is the true believer.
