This book was published in 1976, and in it Dr. Mustafa Mahmoud addresses the philosophical idea that causes originate in God. He is the one who owns them and He is the one who gives them to His creatures and makes them subservient, which means that God is the one who established the law of causality, so He made the causes neither harmful in themselves nor beneficial, but rather they are a reflection of God''s will that harms with His permission and benefits with His permission. Also, God''s will is based on the servant''s readiness and sincerity of intention, which nominates him for God''s giving or deprivation. God''s giving is conditional, just as his deprivation is caused, and there is no coercion or arbitrariness in the matter.
