71: Unwarranted speech about Allah’s Pre-Decree is forbidden

(Unwarranted) speech, argumentation and disputation about Pre-Decree is forbidden with all the sects, since Pre-Decree is Allah’s secret. The Lord, the Blessed and Most High, forbade the Prophets from (such) speech about it. The Prophet (sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam) forbade argumentation about Pre-Decree. The Companions of Allah’s Messenger (sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam) and the Successors hated it. It was hated by the scholars and the people of piety; they forbade disputation about Pre-Decree. So submit, affirm, have Faith and believe in what Allah’s Messenger (sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam) said about matters and remain silent concerning other than that.
