A classic Shk Hamza Yusuf. Brilliant snippet on free will.

[@mmmukhtar9242]

The child is father (teacher ) of the man. One thing I could not understand in Islam is that we are taught that our destiny is already predetermined. Later on I realized that if our Creator did not know our future then He will not be All-knowing. This is a crucial attribute of the Creator. Then I got the answer from my little granddaughter when she was still a toddler. The first thing she used to do when she came to my house was to run to the staircase and climbed up the stairs and I had to follow her lest she fell down the stairs. So as an elderly person I knew her habits. Then I realized that the fact that I knew what she was going to do does not mean that I instigated her to go up the staircase. So my knowledge did not have anything with her actions which were motivated by her own volition. Then I realized that similarly the Creator's knowledge is not the motivator of our actions. He has given us freewill yet He knows what we will do since He is all knowing. Just as I could have have penned down what my little granddaughter would do before she actually does it similarly the Almighty could get our destiny written down before we actually live it. So my granddaughter taught me one of the most complex mystery of life.

[@noorkhadim844]

Beautiful ❤. May Allah bless you and your granddaughter and family

[@adamk828]

Your analogy doesn’t make sense. You don’t know for a certain whether your granddaughter will fall down the stairs on a particular day but allah since he is all knowing know for certain. Either allah doesn’t not what specific choices we will make in life or there is no free will

[@mmmukhtar9242]

@@adamk828 Whether she will fall down or not is not of importance. I knew she was going to head towards the staircase. Did my knowledge that she is going towards the staircase instigated her to do that? Of course not! So my knowledge has nothing to do with her action. The question of whether I knew if she will fall or not is not relevant.

(The first is) A person, whom Allah has given wealth and he spends it righteously; (the second is) the one whom Allah has given wisdom (the Holy Qur'an) and he acts according to it and teaches it to others."

[@saidghendir1038]

Thank you so much. The kadhaa and kadr and free-will it's a matter of belief that has no thing to do with our life science, however this belief in kadaa and kadar comes after establishing an origin belief which is believeing in Allah and in what Mohammad's message brought. Example: If I give you a showing proof that i can carry up 500kg, this fact makes you believe in my power. Now, what if someone told you that I could carry an elephant. Here surely you will believe in me basing on the origin belief with no need to a another proof (this's called rational proof). Results: The showing proof is the Quran which establishes the origin belief. when the origin belief is built, that leads to accept the second belief that has no need to any proofs. What the purpose of all that?. This's the sound belief that feeds our worshiping to Allah as like as we see him (IHSAN level) with trust, and that what makes the difference between the children of Adam who never seen or talked to Allah and the Angels who has already seen and talked to Allah. For that reason the Angels have been commanded to bow to Adam, and for that purpose exactly the satan has taken us his enemy and we commanded as well in surat Alkahf to take him as our enemy). Final fruit: The real worshippers of Allah from the children of Adam are better than the Angels. Allah said to the Angels in the Quran in surat Albakara " I know what don't know" this's when the Angels didn't realize the wisdom of making Adam and his children as khaleefa in the earth as a test for them where Allah gave them the free will to do what they want (obeying Allah or Obeying the Satan). However the Angels they're ordered to obey to Allah with no free will. Conclusion: Without understanding the whole story of pur creation and our purpose in this life we cannot absolutely realize the wisdom of believing in kadha an kadar.

[@matthewhardy1290]

If Allah predetermines everything then he decided in advance to torture the person for eternity. Or alternatively knew it would happen and created the person knowing this. Even a pregnant woman will abort a baby out of compassion instead knows the baby will suffer a severe condition. That's mercy. This makes zero sense. Just playing with words. It isn't predestination if dua can change it. It isn't free will if Allah has predetermined it. Left can't be right and black can't be white. This is as ridiculous as Christians who say God is One God in three persons. It is simply word play. Even if Allah just KNOWS and is the CREATOR and overseer then Allah still at the least knew the person would make these mistakes and end up in eternal punishment but still created them anyway for this purpose. It is not fitting for a believing man or a believing woman to have an option in their affairs when a matter has been decided by Allah - Surah 33:36 The Lord has created and balanced all things and has FIXED their destinies - Surah 87:2-3 “There is none of you, but has his place assigned either in the Fire or in Paradise.” They (the Companions) inquired, “O Allah’s Messenger! Why should we carry on doing good deeds? - Sahih Muslim hadith No calamity befalls on the earth or in yourselves but is inscribed in the Book of Decrees (al-lawh al-mahfooz), before We bring it into existence. - Quran 57:22 "the Word of thy Lord shall be fulfilled: "I will fill Hell with jinns and men all together." - Quran 11:119 Predestination and Choice are opposites and even saying our choice is an extension of Allah's choice doesn't change this.
