It is written in it something as soon as the judgment of its occurrence without description or reason.

For example, it is not written in it let Zayd be a believer and let Omar be a disbeliever, and if it were written like that, then Zayd would be forced to believe and Omar would be forced to disbelieve.

Because what Allah Most High has judged to occur, certainly it occurs, and Allah Most High judges with no intercessor to His judgment, but it is written in it that Zayd will be a believer by his choice and ability, and he wants faith, and does not want disbelief.

And it is written in it that Amr will be a disbeliever by his choice and ability, and he wants disbelief and does not want faith.

Thus the meaning of the saying of the Greatest Imam but it was written with description, not with judgment, is the negation of compulsion in the actions of the servants and the repeal of the doctrine of compulsion, and destiny, and preordainment, and will, its attributes in eternity, without how, means that the origin of these attributes is established by the Book, the Sunnah, and the consensus of the Ummah, except that it is from the ambiguous; and only Allah knows its interpretation, thus its descriptions are unknown, there is no way for the mind to comprehend them by effort, and likewise all attributes of Allah are obligatory with the command of Allah Most High, and with His love, and His consent, and His knowledge, and His will, and His decree, and His measure, and all sins by His knowledge, and His decree, and His measure, and His will, not by His love, nor by His consent, nor by His command.
