Is Kufr (Disbelief) from Allah?

Question:

We know that everything which happens in this world is from Allah, the Most Glorified, Most High, so is Kufr also from Allah?

Answer:

We must believe that Allah, the Most High guides whom He wills, by His Bounty, and He sends astray whom He wills through His Justice, and that nothing happens in this world except by the universal extent of Allah's Will and Intent. This includes Kufr, belief, obedience, disobedience, and that whatever Allah wills, will happen, and that whatever He does not will, will not happen. In addition, Allah, the Most High has given the people ability and free will by which they pursue their deeds, whether good or evil, and in accordance with them, the obedient one is rewarded and the disobedient one is punished. But Allah, the Most Glorified, has favored the believers with His Guidance and directed their hearts towards obedience by His Grace and Generosity, while He has abandoned the disbelievers and has given them a free hand in (the matter of) their souls, their vain desires and their enmity, out of His Justice and Wisdom. And your Lord does not treat anyone with injustice. Due to this, disbelief occurs by Allah's universal Intent and (then) the Will of Allah has granted the individual. In accordance with it, he will be punished because of his choice and his ability, even though it may be surpassed by the Ability and Will of the Creator - and Allah knows best.
