ليس بمستغرَبٍ أن نفترض أنّ أعمال الله، ووجودَها ونفيَها السابق عليه، إنما هي ثمرةُ حكمته، غير أنّنا نعجز عن فهم كثير من سُبل حكمته في أفعاله. وعلى هذا المبدأ يقوم الشرعُ كلّه؛ فهو يبدأ به: «فَرَأَى اللهُ كُلَّ مَا عَمِلَ فَإِذَا هُوَ حَسَنٌ جِدًّا»، وينتهي به: «الصَّخْرُ كَامِلٌ عَمَلُهُ». فتأمّل.

“It is not unreasonable to assume that the works of God, their existence and preceding non-existence, are the result of His wisdom, but we are unable to understand many of the ways of His Wisdom in His works. On this principle the whole Law of Moses is based; it begins with this principle: "And God saw all that He had made, and behold, it was very good" (Gen. i. 31); and it ends with this principle: "The Rock, perfect is His work" (Deut. xxxii. 4). Note it.”Maimonides — The Guide for the Perplexed (1961)
