This Is My Faith - Al-fatlawi, Ali - الصفحة ١١٩ - are in the Hands of Allah’?

· General creational guidance: it is to create something and prepare it with what they need for the sake of the purpose they were created for as the Glorious Allah says in the Noble Quran: (He said: Our Lord is He Who gave unto everything its nature, then guided it aright)_٢٠;٥٠. Also, part of the general creational guidance is man’s reason that the Most Exalted Allah bestowed upon us in order to achieve what we were created for.

· General legislative guidance: it is only for human beings because they can understand the Divine rules and codes that lead them to comfort and perfection.

Now, the specific guidance is neatly related to individuals, so it only embraces those who have been enlightened by the general guidance so much that they have fully benefited from it. In other words, if people use their reason and commit to the Divine codes, they will consequently be under His especial care and attention in a sense that the Almighty Allah grants them success to find the path to salvation and to also take along provisions for the next life. This is evident in the words of the Glorious Allah:

(While as for those who walk aright, He addeth to their guidance)_٤٧;١٧.
