Allah (SWT) huamua yaliyo mema na yaliyo mabaya. Kuhusu kuamua kwake yaliyo mema, ni yale ambayo ni mema kwa hakika na kwa ukamilifu kwa asili yake – uamuzi wake na hukumu yake juu yake, na yale yanayotokana nayo.

Allaah () decrees that which is good and that which is evil. As for His decreeing that which is good, it is that which is certainly and absolutely good in itself – the decree and decision of it, and in that which results from it.

Mfano wa hukmu njema ni hukmu na uamuzi wa kuwapatia wanadamu riziki, usalama na amani, utulivu, uongozi, msaada, n.k. Vyote hivi ni vizuri katika hukmu yake na matokeo yake.

An example of good decree would be the decree and decision to provide mankind with sustenance, safety and security, tranquility, guidance, support, etc. These are all good in their decree and its result.

Kwa upande wa kuamua yaliyo maovu, kwa hakika ni jema katika hukumu yake (Allah hufanya maamuzi kulingana tu na kiwango cha juu kabisa cha hekima), ingawa yanaweza kusababisha uovu.

As for decreeing that which is evil, it is actually good in its decree (Allaah makes decisions only based on the highest level of wisdom) even though it may result in evil.

Mfano wa aina hii ya mwisho ni ukame – kuzuiwa kwa mvua. Hili husababisha uovu (mateso kwa watu), lakini Allah kuamua kuulazimisha ni jambo jema. Je, kuamua ukame kuwa jambo jema ni vipi? Mtu akiuliza, "Allah ameamua na kukusudia kutuletea wakati wa ukame; mifugo inakufa na mazao yanaharibika, basi huu ni wema vipi?" Kwa hili tunajibu kwa kusikiliza kauli hii ya Allah (), "Uharibifu umejitokeza katika nchi kavu na baharini kwa sababu ya yale yaliyochumwa na mikono ya watu, ili Yeye awaonjeshe baadhi ya yale waliyoyatenda, pengine wakarejea (kwa toba)." [Suratu Ar-Rum, 30:41] Katika kesi hii, uamuzi huo unalenga wema mkubwa kabisa na sababu yenye kustahiki sifa zaidi – watu kumrudia Allah (), kurejea kutoka kumwasi Yeye na kurudi katika utiifu Wake. Kwa hiyo matokeo yanaweza kuwa uovu, lakini uamuzi na kusudio la awali ni jema.

An example of this latter type would be a drought – the withholding of rain. This results in evil (hardships upon the people), yet Allaah’s decreeing it is good. How is decreeing a drought something good? If someone were to ask, “Allaah decreed and decided to put upon us a time of drought; the livestock die and the crops are ruined, so how is this good?” To this we reply to listen to this statement of Allaah (), “Corruption has appeared throughout the land and sea by (as a result of) what the hands of people have earned so that He may let them taste part of what they have done that perhaps they may return (in repentance).” [Soorah ar-Room, 30:41] In this case, the decree is for the utmost good and the most praiseworthy reason – the people returning to Allaah (), returning from sinning against Him to His obedience. So the result may be evil, yet the initial decree and decision is good.

Hivyo katika kauli hii neno "Maa" ni "Nini", na hapa ni Ism-ul-Mawsul, yaani "Kiwakilishi Nisbi".

So in this statement is the word Maa “What” and here it is a Ism-ul-Mawsul “a Relative Pronoun”.

Kwa hiyo maana sahihi ni:

Thus the proper meaning is:

“Utulinde na uovu ulioamua Wewe.” Mwenyezi Mungu Mtukufu huamua mambo kwa hekima Yake kamili na yenye kusifiwa, pamoja na uovu. Neno “maa” hapa si “Maa al-Masdariyyah” ambalo huingiza kifungu sawa na nomino ya kitenzi, lingeonyesha kwamba “amri Yako ina uovu”. Badala yake ni kiwakilishi cha uhusiano chenye maana ya “Ule ambaye” (al-Ladhee). Hii ni kwa sababu amri na uamuzi wa Allaah si uovu wenyewe kamwe. Kwa sababu hii, Mtume ﷺ alisema mara moja alipomsifu Mola wake: “Wema, wote wake, uko mikononi Mwako mawili, na uovu hauhusishwi Kwako.”10

“Protect us from the evil that You decreed” Allaah Most High decrees with evil due to (His) complete and commendable wisdom. The 
1 (maa) “what” here is not Maa al-Masdariyyah “To introduce a clause equivalent to a masdar or infinitive” which would mean “Your divine decree contains evil” rather it is a relative pronoun with the meaning of U  V (al-Ladhee) “The one who”. This is because the decree and decision of Allaah is never evil in itself. For this, the Prophet (
) once said while praising his Lord, “The good, all of it, is in Your two hands, and evil is not attributed to You.”10

Kwa hiyo uovu haunganishwi wala kunasibishwa kwa Allah kamwe.

So evil is never associated with or attributed to Allaah.
