A faction that is attributed to Amin Shaykhu, those whom their leader today is ^Abdul-Hadi Al-Baniyy, the one who is in Damascus claimed that the Will of Allah follows the will of the slave.

Nothing takes place in the world except by the Will of Allah, and nothing will hit the slave, whether good or evil, health or sickness, poverty or richness, or other than that, except by the Will of Allah, and nothing that Allah Willed to hit the slave will miss him. It came that the Prophet taught one of his daughters…
