jointly and severally.

Both situations are preordained by the Glorious Allah, but He does not force any of them, that is, if people choose oppression and aggression, they will live in poverty and deprivation, and if they choose to work jointly, they will live in comfortably and happily. This is estimation of the Almighty Allah that has no compulsion in it.

Anwar: So, the Almighty Allah has no hand in what people choose to be?

Hasan: Only estimation; people choose by themselves.

Anwar: So, where is God’s will (Ghadha’) here?

Hasan: After people make their choice comes the will of the Almighty Allah to be applied on their own choose.

Anwar: Will you clarify more?

Hasan: I will after a cold glass of water and a hot cup of tea. What do you say?

Anwar: I can’t complain!
