PREDESTINATION&DECREE

Belief in gods predestination is one all the faith as mentioned in iman e


muffassil “I believe in Allah and his angels and his books and his
prophets in the day of judgment in fact everything good or bad is
decided by him and in life after death” divine decree in Arabic means
Qadr derived from Allahs name meaning all powerful this implies fixing
a limit to something and the concept of the taqdeer is that everything
contained is universe is outcome of bill and planning of Allah. “If
something befalls you don't say I would have done such and such rather
say Allah for ordained this”
Believe in divine degree explained in Quran and Sunnah accounts that
we believe and confess with our heart and tongue that Allah has
decreed all things regarding what happened in world weather good or
bad,wealth or poverty, life or death in the preserved tablets of lohe
mahfooz the believe also includes for knowledge of Allah which means
he knows what had happened will happen and is happening he knows
what is before and after and behind them Allah also knows the hidden
and manifest as he says “Allah knows the unseen as well as which is
manifested” he also holds supreme power to decide outcomes of event
as it is what defines predestination “he has power to dispose all affairs”
for example birth of predestined as hazrat jibrael was sent to Mariam
for glad tidings as mentioned “it is the matter already decided” another
example is victory of battle of badr as said “a matter already decided”.
50,000 years prior to world's creation, Allah wrote down everything in
Quran as prophet explains “yerily first thing Allah created was pen he
said to it write it replied my Lord what shall I write so Allah said write all
that will occur and all that has occurred” thus when a child is in
mother's womb Allah sends an Angel who put soul into the fetus and
ride the child's destiny including its lifespan gender and his fate in
heaven or hell.
In Islamic terminology every human act of both spiritual and material
life that is predestined by Allah “Say nothing shall have shall happen to
us except for what Allah has ordained for us he is our protector and
believer we must keep trust in Allah alone” yet it is incorrect to believe
that action of faith is blind human liberty is kept intact. All is 9 but
freedom is awarded to man to join the right or false part for example a
man is given freedom of speech but he can use it for evil or good.
However, Allah knows what the man will decide. Therefore, it is a
person's choice to use his abilities positively or negatively and since he
has freedom of action he would be held accountable as the true path is
shown by Allah through Quran and prophet. Allah tribes in Quran truth
is from our Lord, let him who will believe it and let him who will reject it
thus, man is neither complete master of his faith or bound to laws of
nature. And exception is dua with Allah allows to change the persons
destiny.
Allah will only held a person accountable for what he intended to do
out of free will. God assures in Quran “Allah does not charge a soul with
more than it can bear”. A man is therefore able to win heaven or hell
and cannot act helpless in front of Allah for forces of the world as
mentioned “if Allah had willed, he would have made you one nation,
but he leads you astray, whom he wishes. But you shall be accountable
for all actions”
The planning of next year is given to angels on night of power by Allah.
Quran confirms “Angels and the spirit descend in this night with
permission of the Lord, with all decrees” therefore one must have a
true belief in predestination to attain state of piety or taqwa.
