Pearl of Wisdom
according to what Mufaddal b. 'Umar narrated on his authority, 'There is neither predestination nor free will , but a stance in between them.' [Mufaddal] asked, 'What is the stance in between?' He replied, 'It is like when you observe a man in sin and you advise him against it but he does not desist from it, so you leave him to his sin. Leaving him to sin after he has rejected your advice does not mean that you commanded him to sin.'
Imam Ja'far ibn Muhammad al-Sadiq [as] Bihar al-Anwar, v. 5, p. 17, no. 27

Satan and Seek Refuge |
|
In the Quran, we are told that Satan is the enemy of mankind. Muslims should seek refuge in God in order to be protected from the evil of Satan. The relationship between these two words is crystal clear for the people who know the Quran. These two words are used in equal numbers i.e., 11 times each. Examples are given below; 50- …they fell prostrate, except Satan. He was one of the jinns and rebelled against His Lord’s command… 18. The Cave, 5 1- Say “I seek refuge in the Lord of the Prophet.” 114. People, 1 The word | Number of occurrence | Satan | 11 | Seek refuge | 11 |
