Belief in the predestination and the Decree of ALLAH is an

article of faith in Islam. We may consider the word Decree as


Qadir, one of the names of ALLAH which tells about the
authority of the ALLAH. It is said in the Holy Quran as “No
doubt, ALLAH is capable of everything”.

According to the teachings of Islam we, the Muslims, consider


that everything is done with the order of ALLAH Almighty.
whether it is blowing of the wind or it is rain, it is birth of a baby
or death of an old age person, all are impossible to happen
without the orders of ALLAH Almighty. 

The holy Quran explains it in Surah-e-Fatiha as

“All praise is for ALLAH, Lord of the worlds, the Most Gracious and the Most Merciful, the
Master of the day of judgment”.

This ayat clearly explains the authority of the ALLAH Almighty


that He is the only one who is Lord of the worlds. It is ALLAH
Almighty who is Lord of the day of judgment. Whatever the
punishment or reward will be given to the people, it is total
authority of the ALLAH Almighty because he is the Lord of the
world including this world and the other world where we will live
our life after death. 

In the same way at some other place in the Holy Quran said
that “No slumber can seize him nor sleep All things in heaven
and earth are His”. This ayat also explains that He is the lord of
heaven and He is free from sleep. 

All the Muslims believe that everything that has happened in the
universe, what is happening in the universe and what will be
happened I the universe will be done according to the will of
ALLAH. 
It is ALLAH who is the only God. In another place, the Holy
Quran says

“There is no god but He. The ever-living, the sustainer of all existences”.

Now if someone reads this ayat, he will understand that the


ALLAH Almighty is the sustainer of our world and all the things
which exist in the whole world or even in the universe. 

Now everyone can easily understand the concept that


everything belongs to ALLAH almighty but it doesn’t mean that
ALLAH didn’t give us the power to think anything. ALLAH gives
us power to think and take decisions but all of these powers are
according to his will and the laws given by Him. He created the
world and allow all the humans to live according to their choices
but he will reward those who will act according to the teachings
of Islam. So it should also be kept in mind that all of our good
deeds will be rewarded in the form of Jannah and all of our bad
deeds will lead us towards punishment in the fire. 

Whatever will happen at the day of judgment, nobody knows it


but one thing is clear that ALLAH Almighty is and will be the
only authority on that day. Nobody can challenge His authority
today, tomorrow and even on the day of judgment. He is Malik
ul Mulk (the king of all the kings).
