In this part I will research the understanding of Allah's Will 'Yasha' as used in the Quran. Most people read verses as 'if Allah Wills it', and then project their human understanding of 'willing something' unto Allah. The Human Will is subject to whims and emotions, controlled by it needs and wishes.
How can Allah's Will have the same definition as He is without any Need?
6:14 Say, "Shall I take for my master other than Allah Who is the Initiator of the heavens and the earth? And He provides all without return. Feeds but is not fed....
4:131 And to Allah belong all things in the Highs and all things in the Lows. We directed those who received the Scripture before you, and We direct you to be mindful of Allah's Laws (so that your society operates as smoothly as the Universe is operating). And if you reject the Truth, know that all things in the heavens and all things in the earth belong to Allah. Allah is Self-Sufficient, Owner of Praise.
Human Will is guided by Need, and is expressed through the filter of emotions, instinct and character of the person. This is the Will we know and understand. This is our definition of Will. But how does Will work with Allah how has no need, emotions, instincts or human psyche?
How can we form the right definition of the Divine Will? This is again one of the reasons why the Quran was revealed. To explain to us how the Will of Allah differs from human will and how it works in the Creation.
Here is a small introduction. One person at a forum asked me why I translated 'yasha' with Laws instead of Will:
Quote:
Where does it say in the original arabic of the verse what you mistranslated in the underlined portion ?
6:111 Even if We caused the angels to descend to them, and the dead to speak to them, and We lined up all the miracles before them, they would not believe. People can be guided only according to Allah's Laws, but most of them choose the way of ignorance.
First examine the proof:
2:284 To Allah belong all things in the heavens and all things in the earth. Whether you reveal or conceal your intentions and actions, Allah will bring you to account. He will forgive whom He wills/yasha and pusnishes whom He wills/yasha [He has appointed Laws of forgiveness and retribution]. Allah has Power over all things and events and He has appointed due measure for everything. (Laws for forgiveness: 3:31, 8:29, 33:70-71, 57:28, 61:11-12, 64:17, 71:3)
Ok, does Allah punish only by His Will? Or through the Laws He has given us in the Quran? Of course Allah can do what He wants, but He promises certain things to us. Will a believer be punished by Allah, even though the believer has done everything Allah has decreed in the Quran?
Allah says this in the Quran:
48:5 Thus He will admit the believing men and the believing women into
Gardens beneath which rivers flow, wherein they shall abide. And He will
absolve their faults and imperfections. And that is, with Allah, the Supreme
Triumph. (11:115).
And:
28:84 Anyone who brings actions that benefited others, the reward to him is better than what he has done. And anyone who is unfair in his dealings with others, such will be punished, but not more than the like of what they have done.
People were punished because they went against Allah's Law of human conduct.
His Will is expressed for example in these Laws:
3:31 Say (O Messenger), "If you love Allah, follow me; Allah will love you and preserve your 'Self'. He will save you from trailing behind in humanity and in the community of nations. For, Allah is Most Protecting, Full of Grace (causing benevolent actions to flourish)."
33:70 O' You who have chosen to be graced with belief! Be mindful of Allah and speak words straight to the point.
7:180 All Names of Allah are the fairest names. You can invoke Him by any of them. Be mindful not to over-emphasize a single attribute of His. (For example, the Merciful God is also a Just God). Disregard those who distort His Names or the meaning of His Attributes (like calling Him, father, son, the man upstairs, the destroyer etc.) Be assured that all of you will be rewarded according to your doings, and by no other criterion.
Blasphemy the name = will cause punishment=is a Law. Who Allah punishes is determined by the Laws. Thus His Laws are expressing His Will.
Being mindfull of Allah and speak words of Truth and straightness=reward and forgiveness=His Law expressing His Will.
This is a promise. So Allah's Will is bound to His Promises. If I follow His Laws, He must reward me, as this is His Promise. So His Will follows His Laws and thus His Laws are His Will.
Allah's Will is shown through His Laws, so going against those Laws, is going against Allah's Will, which will end up in requital as Allah's Will is that we grow and develope our Self's. This can only be done through following His Laws.
Another one given in the traditional translation, Progressive Muslim translation:
30:48 God Who sends the winds, so they raise clouds, and He spreads them in the sky as He wishes/yasha, then He turns them into joined pieces, then you see the rain drops come forth from their midst. Then when He makes them fall on whomever He wills/yasha of His servants, they rejoice!
We know that the workings of the weather is formed by laws. Clouds follow airdensity and are pushed by the factors that are determined by heat and cold air which cause the movement. Heat and cold are determined by the sun, and the sun has a fixed amount of heat outburst as the earth rotates, also every area on earth is only exposed to the earth determined by its position.
Is this movement of the clouds determined by randomn will or by laws that were determined before the creation of the Universe? Does Allah just push a cloud to where He wills? No, we can predict the weather as far as we can follow the factors involved. That weather-prediction is not accurate is because we cannot follow all factors that control the airflows. There are to many factors. But we can see a consistent reaction to factors. With heat, air will rise, it will not come down. When a area has less density of air, wind will be produced, as the less density will suck up air from denser area´s. There is consistency in these behaviour of nature. This is why Allah says we must observe them:
2:164 (Never does Allah propose blind faith.) Behold, there are ample Signs In the creation of the Heavens and the Earth, and the alternation of the night and the day - and the ships that roam the ocean for the benefit of mankind - and the water that Allah sends down from the sky, thereby giving life to the land after it had been lifeless - and in dispersing a great variety of creatures therein - and in the currents of winds - and the clouds subservient between the high atmosphere and the Earth. All these are clear Signs for those who exercise their intellect. (The Universe is too organized to be the result of an accident 6:73.)
30:46 And of His Signs is this: He sends forth the winds that bear glad tiding, so that He might give you a taste of His Grace. And that ships might sail at His Command and so that you might.
So the verse must be translated as such:
30:48 (Divine Guidance is a blessing for humanity just as) it is Allah Who sends forth the winds that raise clouds, and then spreads them along the high atmosphere according to His Laws. And causes them to pile up and then break and you see the rain pouring down from within them. And when He makes it to fall on His servants by His Laws, behold, they rejoice.
Also this one:
42:49 To Allah belongs the Dominion of the heavens and the earth. He creates and designs all things according to His Yasha/Will/Laws. He bestows the gift of daughters according to His Yasha/Will/Laws and the gift of sons according to His Yasha/Will/Laws.
A boy or a girl is determind by an Y or X chromosome. The spermcell that makes it first to the femalecell, is that random will or is that determined by Laws? Well why do you think you ejeculate 100.000's of spermcells? Because one will have the correct position and path to reach the femalecell first. It is determined by the conditions the spermcell is in, which determines if it is first or not. And which conditions are the ones that will make a spermcell be first, were already determined in the Laws of nature. Laws that determine what is needed to make a spermcell quick or slow.
So what is Allah's Will here then? Is it not the Laws that determine the best position of a spermcell? Why a spermcell is first, is always determined by certain factors. When a runner wins a marathon, is it because of certain factors, or because random will, or is there a pattern to be found in why somebody wins or loses?
3:6 He it is Who shapes you in the wombs according to His Laws. There is no god but He. He is the Almighty, the Wise. (He uses his Power with wisdom and His Rule is the Rule of Law).
How are foetusses shaped? What determines this? Is this not the factors involved? The food the mom eats. How much she rests. If she bumps the stomach or not. The genes the baby has? Are those genes not determined by the sperm and egg cells genes, and in which conditions the egg and sperm were created and and in which conditions they have merged their genes in?
Do these procedures follow random processes or fixed processes? Are these not determined by Laws of the Universe? What does the Quran say about forming of humans in the womb:
22:5 O Mankind! If you are in doubt that humanity will one day stand at its feet, and that you will be resurrected back to life after death, consider the process of your own evolution. We have created you in stages: From dust, then from male and female gametes, then from a zygote, then from an embryo, shapely and first shapeless. We thus clearly explain things for you. The embryo and then the fetus stay in the womb until an appointed term according to Our Laws. Then We bring you forth as infants and carry you to maturity. While some of you die young, others live to the feeblest old age so that they know nothing after knowing much. (Resurgence of humanity can take place just as) you, O Prophet, see a dry barren land, but when We send down water on it, it vibrates with life and grows all kinds of beautiful plants.
As you can see it follows precise Laws, and thus the Laws resemble Allah's Will.
So what is Allah's Will? Is it random tampering with the creation? I believe not, Allah says we must look at the creation, investigate it. Why investigate it if it follows random processes? No, we must investigate them as understanding these laws and following them is following Allah's Will. It is the Laws that He has determined when creating the Universe. All must follow these Laws. When they follow these Laws, they are following Allah's Will. When we follow the Quran, we are following Allah's Will. Now, you will understand why to translate and understand Yasha with 'Laws' or 'Due Measure', as indeed 'yasha' means Will, but the Will of Allah are expressed in His Laws of the Universe.
It cannot be compared to the random human will that is controlled and guided by need and emotions. Allah's Will already has a fixed Goal and will not deviate from this goal. His Will is not guided by need or emotions. He has a fixed Outcome for us, and uses thus fixed Laws to guide us too this Goal. This is Allah's Will as can be seen through His Laws.
Allah will not deviate from His Laws and Goal:
33:62 That was the Way of Allah among those who lived before. And never will you find any change in Allah's Way. (The Divine Laws in the Universe never change, and the Law of Requital never fails to requite).
If you believe a thing or not, is determined by Laws that control your psyche. Allah's Laws, thus Allah's Will. As these Laws and how you interact with them decide if you believe or not.
6:56 Say, "I am forbidden to worship and obey on whom you call instead of Allah." Say, "I will not follow your desires, otherwise I will go astray and not be among the rightly guided."
To be guided is determined by how well you follow the Laws of your psyche. Not by a random will of Allah as if His Will is run by whims and emotions. Our psyche will see the Truth through following Laws and will be blocked in seeing the Truth by going against those Laws:
6:82 Those who attain belief and cloak not their belief with wrong doctrines, for them is inner peace and security. They are rightly guided.
2:142 Men of little understanding say, "What has turned them from the Direction that people formerly observed? Say, "Unto Allah belong the East and the West." He has Yasha shown the Straight Path to him who wills to follow it."
They ask: 'Why did they change their Qibla?'. Our reply is: 'It is through God's Yasha'. So what is His Will? Well He says 2 verses later:
2:144 We have seen your eagerness (O Messenger), therefore, We shall now make you turn to a Qiblah that is dear to you. Hence, turn your whole being focused on the Sanctified Masjid. And all of you believers, wherever you may be, turn your whole being focused toward it. Behold! Those who have been given the Scripture before know that this is the Truth from their Lord. And Allah is not unaware of what they do.
Allah shows us His Will, through His Laws He gives us in the Quran.
3:13 (Only recently at Badr), there was a Sign for you in the two armies that met in combat. One was fighting in the Cause of Allah, the other denying Him. With their own eyes the two armies saw each other as twice their number. (The believers in their motivation saw the manifold enemy just twice their own numbers, while the deniers saw the smaller opponents twice the size they actually were). But Allah strengthens people with His support according to His Yasha/Will/Laws. (Allah helps those who help themselves). This must be a lesson for people of vision for all times.
Is victory attained through random will or through fixed Laws? It is of course the factors that comply to the Laws that will gain the victory. This is why Allah says:
4:71 O You who have chosen to be graced with belief! Be fully prepared against danger. You shall remain alert to meet aggression. Take your precautions then mobilize in groups or all together as determined by your commander.
8:60 Make ready for them all the power you can muster, and all the equipment you can mobilize so that you may deter the enemies of Allah, and your enemies. And others beside them whom you know not, Allah knows them. Whatever wealth and effort you spend on your defenses, will be your spending in the Cause of Allah, and it will be repaid to you generously. And you shall not be wronged.
It is through good preparation and equipment and good men that decide a war's outcome. This is Allah's Will that is shown through His Laws. A true believer will always try to follow Allah's Laws. Allah promises us victory, but only when we follow His Laws that are in the Quran and in Nature.
People who project the Human definition of Will unto Allah, will see it as random Will, not following fixed Laws and not having a fixed Goal.
They misunderstand Allah's Will by believing Allah's Mercy is random, and is received through intervention of Allah:
36:47 And when it is said to them, "Spend on others of the provision Allah has given to you", the rejecters say to the believers, "Shall we feed anyone whom Allah could have fed if He so willed? You people are obviously lost in error." (6:149, 16:35, 43:20).
They don't understand that feeding the poor is a Law of Allah, and through that Law His Will is expressed:
22:36...and feed the contented poor who beg not as well as the poor who ask....
When people believe Allah's Will does not follow fixed Laws, they neglect His Laws as given in the Quran. They also reject the notion that Allah has a fixed Goal for our existence.
1:3 He is the Absolute Owner of the Day when all creation shall have completed their journey of existence, evolution and action to the Ultimate Just outcome. And He is the Supreme Appointer of the Way of Life that mankind may live by in order to attain success in both lives - and this System will most certainly prevail in this world. The Divine Law of Returns takes mankind to the Day of Final Judgment in His Court to account for all they did with the gift of life. This is a Day whose advent is beyond any doubt.
[3:189-190, 9:32-33, 17:111, 43:84, 82:18-19. 'Deen' = Way or System of Life = The Ultimate Just Outcome.]
11:119 Except those on whom your Lord will bestow His Grace (for working toward the Noble Objective of unity). And for this He created them. Those who defy (this Command) will fulfill the Word of your Lord, "Verily, I shall fill Hell with the nomad and urban mankind all together."
So Allah's Will is expressed in His Laws. Thus Allah's Yasha/Will is equal to His Laws as they guide us to His intended Goal, His Deen. This is a fixed Outcome, and thus follows fixed Laws.
Another person asked me:
Allah (S) uses different words for "His Law" for "His Sunnah and practices" and "His wish or Will or Yesha". He is very careful in choosing words and does not superimpose words with different or slightly different meanings on top of each other.
There are many verses which follow the following construct:
1. A man or a woman makes an unsual proposal.
2. Allah(S) responds back with an affirmative answer.
3. Proposer of the original proposal expresses his surprise that how is this possible because the norm is different.
4. Allah expresses that this is his "Yesha" or will that such an exception to his divine law will occur. "Yesha" is used in almost every case when an exception to his laws took place. Not when "business" as usual was intended.
3:38 - Man proposes Unusual thing
:39 - Allah approves and sends an Angle with the approval of this unusual request.
:40 Man is totally surprised on the approval of this unusual request. Allah Clarifies, this unusual thing will happen. It is not a law that Allah approves and sends an angel who delivers the approval and indicates that God has approved this exception and will cure the barren lady as indicated later.
Man only knows their own definitions of 'Will' based on their experience and use of the word. This is why we must investigate the Quran, as Allah explains His Will and how it works to us. Human Will is subject to constant changes of its goals. One second it is hungry and it wants food, the other it is sleepy and its will is to sleep. Allah has no needs or emotions, BUT He has a Will. So to make sure we don't confuse His Will with our definition of Will, He must explain it to us. This why there is the need for Revelation.
This explanation I have given above. For every Will, Allah gives an answer somewhere else in the Quran or in Nature to explain it. To win a war, you must prepare. To have a child, you must have the right factors present. To believe, your psyche must follow the correct state of mind that allows belief.
Through out the Quran, Allah says what His Will is, and most of His Wills are a surprise to mankind. That He shows Mercy and Nourishment to everyone is a surprise to many. Sometimes He uses stories of people to express this surprise of the Mercy in His Will, but also because of the possibilities in Allah's Creation.
With the story of Zacheria it doesn't say that his wife is cured through miracles. Zacheria was just surprised that at his late age it was still possible to have a child, but also that there was still a possibility for his wife to be cured. He thought it was impossible, due to his limited knowledge of the possibilities in Allah's Creation.
In 3:40 he is just surprised there is still a possibility that his wife can bare children. It is Zacheria who is suggesting that it is not possible, while he cannot know all the possibilities that were there. Allah does know all possibilities, and thus say that through His Will, which is presented through His Laws, she can still bare a child.
The same is with Mary where she is surprised to be chosen to bare a child, while in reality she thought she would be a nun the rest of her life. She asks how can I have a child? Allah answers with that His Will, which is expressed through His Laws, gives her the possibility to leave the Temple and get married. Which she does as explained in the verses after it. Mary believed it was Allah's Will to remain a nun, but Allah says she must submit to Allah's Laws and not to man-made ones. So her surprise was because of her misunderstanding of what really Allah's Laws were.
So the surprise of people is about the possibilities in Allah's Creation or that they believed man-made laws to be Allah's Laws, and thus they were surprised that He suggested otherwise.
The Quran is a simple and a clear Message, but your interpretation is determined by your approach. The verse can mean anything, but most approach it with pre-conceived ideas. Most believe Allah was saying in verses 3:40 that He cured through a miracle Zacheria's wife, while Zacheria is only surprised that there still is a possibility for her to be cured.
The majority approaches the verses already as:
1.Zacheria's wife was incurable.
2.Only a miracle could save her.
3.Thus Allah deviates from His Laws to cure her.
While at the same time this is also possible:
1. Zacheria BELIEVED himself that his wife was incurable, this does not mean at all this is also true. This only shows that man doesn't always knows all possibilities.
2. Her infertility could be cured with medicines, no miracle needed. This is not excluded at all. This possibility is just completely ignored to sustain a miracle-belief.
3. Allah tells Zacheria that His Will has made endless possibilities in His Laws for humans to find cures and solutions to problems.
You see the difference of approach? People must ask themselves why they first went for the Miracle-approach, instead of first using the reasonable approach. Why exclude the normal possibilities? Ask yourself this carefully. It is not a crime for not seeing my approach, as your mind is formed through the Collective approach to certain subjects.
So you have to question yourself again:
1. I cannot reject the non-miracle approach as being not true, so what would I prefer and why?
2. Does the Quran promote miracles? And if so, what is the Message behind miracles then?
3. Is the Creation proof enough for me to see Allah's Power, or do I need to see in the Quran miracles to proof this?
He also asked:
Correct tranlation must include his will or "yesha" mentioned twice in the verse 6.39, where YusufAli, Pickthal and Shakir all say it is Allah's Will to leave us astray or guide us.
The verse clearly indicates that it is his will to leave some stray. Will Allah Almighty make a rule to leave people "to go astray" as a rule?
This would contradict with many verses but already with the very first thing Allah calls Himself: Rahman. If we translate the verse as such: And He - Allah - sends astray whom He wills and He guides him whom He wills. My first question would be: So, what was the need to reveal the Qur'an? This approach comes from projecting the human use of power unto Allah. Human rulers as kings, ruled with ruthlessness and without anyone questioning them. Many rulers have misused their power to tyrannize mankind. This is explained in this verse:
2:258 Think of the one who adamantly argued with Abraham about his Lord because Allah had given him power (Nimrod Shaddad, the King of Babylon who used to proclaim divinity). Abraham said to him, "My Lord is He Who gives life and causes death." He answered, "I give life and cause death." (Being a tyrant king he could reverse or impose death penalty upon his subjects). Abraham said, "Allah makes the sun rise from the East; make it rise from the West." Thereupon the rejecter of the Truth remained dumbfounded. And Allah does not guide people who displace reality with falsehood.
Here it clearly shows how rulers use power. This use of power has become the human definition of power, and so Allah must be even more tyrannizing and ruthless. They project on Him the concept that He will act as He wants. But a difference in behaviour would indicate a difference in goal. Allah says He already has a fixed goal for us, the Deen. This is why He says:
6:34 Messengers before you were denied and opposed. They steadfastly faced persecution until Our help reached them. There is none to alter the Decisions, Laws and Words of Allah. Some history of the Messengers has already come to you and sets examples for you.
17:77 Such has always been Our Law with all of Our Messengers, We sent before you. (Nations that drove them out, suffered dire consequences). You will never find a change in Our Laws.
So every person can believe at any point at this life. He can only be stopped by his own beliefs he chooses himself. This is a fixed Law of the Universe.
A psyche is controlled by certain Laws. When you lie a lot, your lies will mix with your real memories, and in the end you cannot distinguish the real memories from the fake ones anymore. So lying will cause false memories. Believing in multiple gods, will make your brain look for signs of these gods. Your brain will respond to your belief, and thus ignore the signs of One God.
These are simple Laws of the psyche. For example, you just had a fight with somebody, you're pissed off, and walk down the street. There a person bumps into you.
How will your upset mind approach this? As just a accident? Or as a personal attack and you need to defend yourself? Your brain is on defence mode. It will most likely interpret this innocent accident as an attack. This is a Law of your psyche.
If you already believe there are multiple gods by following your forefathers blindly. You will program your brain to only pick up clues in life that support the belief in multiple gods. Thus your brain will see signs of the One God, but it will not communicate this to your consciousness. This is why Allah uses the term 'Kafir' for those who reject His Messages. Kafir means farmer, and is used for a person who buries seed or other substances. In the Quran it got the meaning of a person who buries the Truth for himself. This is exactly what that person is doing. Through a personal choice, made out of Free Will, this person is burying the Truth from his consciousness. The person is doing it himself, by using Allah's Laws of the psyche. It was Allah's Will that we have Free Will, and so His Will made possibilities for us in the creation to have Free Will. So to believe or dis-believe is done through Allah's Will, His Will that we have the possibility to believe or dis-believe.
11:62 They said, "O Saleh! Great hopes We had placed in you before this! But now you are telling us to move away from worshiping what our forefathers worshiped. Verily, now we are in grave doubt, amounting to suspicion about the meaning of your call to us."
Instead of being objective, they already presume that their forefathers are right. They don't let go of their program and thus they cannot see the Reality. Their psyche follows Laws of observation and belief of the consciousness.
1. If there is already an established belief, and you do not doubt it. Then your brain will not let you see all the things that dis-prove your belief. It will only show that which confirms your belief.
2. When you try to stay objective, your brain will always communicate the Reality to you in its completeness, and not filter out anything.
This is seen for example in:
6:56 Say, "I am forbidden to worship and obey on whom you call instead of Allah." Say, "I will not follow your desires, otherwise I will go astray and not be among the rightly guided".
This Law of the psyche was determined by Allah at the beginning of Creation. This is His Will. And so His Will is expressed in these Laws of the Psyche. Yasha means Will, but it His Will is expressed in His Laws. He has a fixed Goal from which He will not deviate.
Allah gives you the possibility to be objective and observe the Reality without that pre-programmed observation. This is what Abraham did:
6:75 We gave Abraham insight, the ability to reflect, into the Mighty Dominion of the Universe so that he might attain firm conviction.
6:76 (Some of his people were idolaters and others were Nature worshipers.) One night when it grew dark upon him he saw a planet (Venus). Abraham exclaimed to them, "This is my Lord!" But when it went down, he said, "I love not the things that go down."
6:79 "I have focused firmly on Him Who initiated the heavens and the earth; as an upright man I turn away from all that is false. I will never be an idol worshiper in any form.
He observed the One God, by being objective. So he had to first decide to be objective. Only after that, did his brain show all the clues, that were first hidden for him because he followed his people.
This can be clearly seen with his conversation with his people:
21:52 He said to his father and his folk, "What are these images and statues that you sit around worshiping?"
21:53 They responded, "We found our ancestors worshipers of them."
21:54 He said, "Indeed you are in plain error as your ancestors were."
21:55 They said, "Are you telling us some serious truth or are you one of those jesters?"
He says: what are you doing?>>They say: what our forefathers did. Which implies they never left the belief that ruled their access to Reality>>Indeed you and your forefathers were blocked from seeing the truth>>They immediately wondered what he meant: Is he joking or telling his true opinion?>>so he smashed their idols:
21:58 Then he reduced them to fragments except the big one, so that they might turn to it. (37:88-98).
They still ran their belief-program and thus defended their idols:
21:59 They said, "Who has done this to our gods? He must indeed be of the wrongdoers."
21:62 (And when he came) they asked, "Is it you who has done this to our gods, O Abraham?"
So he confronted them with something their belief-filter could not filter out, which is that their idols could talk:
21:63 Abraham grabbed the opportunity of driving home the point, "Whoever did it, did it. This is their chief. Ask them if they speak.
21:64 They were taken aback, withdrew themselves, thought and said to one another, "Verily, you yourselves are the wrongdoers." (You disregarded the security of the powerless idols).
21:65 They were utterly confounded in shame, lowered their heads and said to Abraham, "You know that they speak not."
Their filter that was sustained in their psyche because of their pre-conceived notions, but it can not filter and block all observations of Reality. And they were ashamed for admitting that one testing method to see if their idols were true or false, was shown to them. They were forced into objective observation to see indeed if their idols had power or not.
But what is their reaction:
21:68 The priesthood of the temple (in their vested interests) instigated the masses, "Burn him alive and uphold your gods if you are going to take any action!"
On that moment they could have decided to accept the test and see their gods had failed. But instead the priests decided to hold on to their program, and quickly fired up the people's anger, so that their thinking will be blocked by the rage.
So:
1. When you are angry, it is really hard for you to observe something not as an attack.
2. When you have a conviction, then your consciousness will only accept the things of Reality that confirm their belief.
3. When you try to be objective, you will pick up almost everything in Reality, and thus can form the most correct belief that coincides with Reality.
These are Laws of the psyche. Any psychiatrists can explain these too you. This is why Allah keeps saying we must look at His creation to believe in Him. He points out to Reality, to break your belief-program and make you objective, just as with Abraham.
Allah had already decided before the Creation that our psyche would run like this. We have a Free Will that can influence our observation of Reality. Animals don't have this option. So to express His Will, Allah has made Laws in our psyche, so our Free Will can be expressed.
Thus Allah's Will is experienced through His Laws. As you can see, to understand belief, you must first observe what the Quran says how belief works. Just as you said, Allah doesn't use words for nothing. They all have a purpose, and in the Quran, all the words are interconnected.
Yasha indeed means 'Will', but the danger is, that you will mix it up with the human definition of Will. This is why I use 'Laws' as it is through His Laws that Allah's Will works.
This is how the Quran explains itself.
