Types of will of Allah (swt)

There are two types of will of Allah:

1. General will for creation (Al-Irada’ Al-Qowniyyah Al-Qadariyyah)

This is the type of will by which Allah created creation and decreed life and death and good and bad irrespective of His love for good and hate for bad.  It is by this will that he created Iblees, sin and transgression.

2. Specific will for that which Allah loves (Al-Irada’ Ash-Shar’iyyah Ad-Deeniyyah)
