Salaam Sheikhna,
When listening to the lecture on Causality, and hearing "Does fire burn, the answer is yes and no" I was wondering if this would be explainable through the example of Sayidduna Ibrahim AS, that we observe fire to burn by observation (same as how the mushrikoon thought by building a fire they would burn Ibrahim AS), but the actual effect of anything is created by Allah, hence Ibrahim AS was not burned in the fire because Allah created coolness from the fire for Ibrahim AS (or perhaps did NOT enable the fire to do the action of burning), whilst the fire would in theory burn the mushrikoon if they were to touch it. Is this understanding of causality relating to that specific instance of fire correct?
Apologies if the question is convoluted, I was just wondering if this story would help understand the concept.
JazakAllahu Kulli Khair
