Ruling on the Saying Nature Caused This - Sheikh Ibn Bāz السؤال: أحدهم لصديقه: هل سمعت خبر الزلازل الذي أحدثته الطبيعة في البلد الفلاني؟ فأجابه صديقه: الطبيعة لا تعقل؟ Question: A person says to his friend: Did you hear about the earthquake caused by nature in so and so land ? His friend answered: Nature has no mental faculties. الجواب: نعم هذا غلط، قوله أحدثت الطبيعة، أو فعلت الطبيعة،هذا غلط Answer: Yes, this is incorrect, the statement nature made or nature did. This is wrong. الطبيعة ما هي شيء، الطبيعة صفات من صفات الناس، Nature is nothing. Nature is a characteristic of mankind. كل له طبيعة، الماء له طبيعة، والنار له طبيعة، والإنسان له طبيعة، Everything has a nature; water has a nature, fire has a nature, and a human has a nature. فالطبيعة صفة قائمة بغيرها So, nature is a characteristic that is dependent on other things. ولكنه من جهل الجهلاء والتقليد الأعمى، However, it is from people's ignorance and blindfollowing. هذا جاهل، وهذا مقلد، وليس هناك طبيعة تفعل شيئًا، This person is ignorant and the other is a blind-follower. There is no such thing as nature that does something. إنما هي صفات قائمة بالموصوف، It is only a characteristic that is inherent to the one described. فطبيعة النار الإحراق، وطبيعة الماء الميوعة، وطبيعة الإنسان كذا، وطبيعة الحيوان الآخر كذا. The nature of fire is that it burns. The nature of water is that it is a liquid. The nature of man is like this and the nature of other animals is like that. وهكذا كل له طبيعة تخصه، الله -جل وعلا- جعله عليها وخلقه عليها، Likewise, everything has a nature that's specific to it, Allāh the Exalted made and created it upon (this nature). والخلاق هو الله وحده، هو الخلاق العليم -جل وعلا- The Creator is Allāh alone, He is Al-Khallaq, Al-'Aleem, أَلَا لَهُ الْخَلْقُ وَالْأَمْرُ [الأعراف:54]، "Surely, His is the Creation and Commandment." [Al-A'rāf: 54] اللَّهُ خَالِقُ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ [الزمر:62] "Allāh is the Creator of all things." [Az-Zumar: 62] فليس هناك شيء غير الله يخلق، لا طبيعة ولا غير طبيعة، There is nothing that has the ability to create other than Allāh, whether its nature or something else, فالطبيعة صفات قائمة بمن هي طبيعة له، Nature is an intrinsic characteristic, وهذا جار على ألسنة كثير من أهل الباطل من الملاحدة، ويقلدهم غيرهم من الجهلة. and this is what many of the people of falsehood and deviance/atheism say (i.e., nature did), and those who are ignorant mimic them.
