Qadar

[Muslimah]

Bismillah


To further continue on this crucial topic:


However, an essential point must be made and stressed here, that all what we do is already recorded because Allah:


"And if you (O Muhammad) speak (the invocation) aloud, then verily, He knows the secret and that which is yet more hidden." (Quran 20:7). As we explained before the Ayah applies in general. And because Allah Knows the secret and that which is more hidden, Allah Knows ahead, not only Knows, but Recorded what we are going to do, choose, decide. In other words, all is recorded before even it happened because Allah Knows ahead that this will be the choice of the given person. However, the opporutnituy is also available for one to try and improve, make dua which actually deters the qada. Now we are focused here on the free will in terms of the attitude and approach one adopts in life.


Other areas of Qada that we have nothing to do with are: birth, death. We dont have a choice about them. For example, one might live all his/her life in a certain country or place. Suddenly this person moves, just because he/she is destined to die and be buried in another location. Also a pregnant woman may be in her home to find that she is obliged to move where she gives birth because this is where the person is due to be born.


Allah, while the person is still in the womb assigns an angle to record the person as happy, unhappy, poor, wealthy..etc. Those are the issues Allah Pre destines one for. But Allah Does not accept for us to be disobedient. I mean Allah Does not enforce the disbelief nor sin on us. This is where our choice is made. Yet, invocation and supplication deter Qada, how is that? For example one is going out of his/her house heading towards work, he/she uses the supplications we learnt from the Messenger prayer and peace be upon him for protection. The person faces an accident that should have been fatal, but because of the supplication that came on time, it detered the pre destination as proven by a hadeeth.


I think I should stop here for the reader to be able to digest, then Insh a Allah try to continue.
