问 153:奴仆对其行为是否有任何意志或能力?
Q 153: Do the slaves have any kind of will or ability over their acts?
A---是的,他们对自己的行为拥有能力和意志。他们的行为确实归属于他们。他们因此而承担责任,并依此受到奖赏或惩罚,而真主只要求他们力所能及的事。这一点在祂的至尊《古兰经》和先知的圣训中都得到了确认。
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.
但是,他们所展现的能力,只是真主所赋予他们的;他们所表现的意志,只是真主所意欲的;他们所能做的,只是真主使他们去做的。正如他们不能自己创造自己,他们也不能创造自己的行为。因此,他们的能力、意志和行为,都随从真主的能力、意志和作为,因为真主是他们的创造者,也是他们的能力、意志和行为的创造者。而且,他们的能力、意志和行为,并不等同于真主的能力、意志和作为,正如它们也不等同于真主本身。至高无上的真主远非如此!然而,他们所创造的行为与他们相称,并且实际上归属于他们。
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.
