Allaah the Exalted created His creation, decreed the predestination and ordained set ways upon the universe, individuals, nations and people. These ways apply to His slaves, His Awliyaa' (allies of Allaah), His enemies, and to the heavens and earth. These ways rule humanity and life on earth. They do not vary according to time or place. Allaah Says (what means): {so proceed throughout the earth and observe how the end of those who denied was} [QUR'AAN: 2:136]. {This [Qur'aan] is a clear statement to [all] the people and a guidance and instruction for those conscious of Allaah} [QUR'AAN: 2: 137]. The Ways of Allaah with His Creation 5 {And these days [of varying conditions] We alternate among the people so that Allaah may make evident those who believe and [may] take to Himself from among you martyrsand Allaah does not like the wrongdoers} [QUR'AAN: 30: 140]. {And if it were not for Allaah checking [some] people by means of others, the earth would have been corrupted, but Allaah is full of bounty to the worlds.} [QUR'AAN: 2: 251]. ¿¿¿¿ {Indeed, Allaah will not change the condition of a people until they change what is in themselves.} [QUR'AAN: 13: 11]. ¿¿¿¿ {That is because Allaah would not change a favor which He had bestowed upon a people until they change what is within themselves. And indeed, Allaah is Hearing and Knowing.} [QUR'AAN: 8: 53]. 1
