Explanation

Explanation of the hadith

Allah has created every maker and the things that the maker produces. This Hadīth is evidence that the deeds of the human beings are created. Allah has created humankind and has created their deeds as well. Ibn Taymiyyah (may Allah have mercy upon him) said: "There is nothing created on earth or in the heaven except that its Creator, and there is no creator or god but Him. He commanded His servants to obey Him and obey His messengers and forbade them from disobedience, and He likes the pious and good-doers and is not pleased with the defiant sinners. He orders His servants to not act immorally, does not approve disbelief for them, and does not like corruption. People perform deeds actually and He is the Creator of their deeds.. yet they exercise control over their deeds and have free will."
