Free Will vs. Predestination - Quran Q&A - Abdullah Oduro

Question 15:
How should our belief in qadar impact our actions?

[@mouctardiallo9062]

I love this brother for the sake of Allah I can feel his sincerity the noor Deen on his face

[@aishahnor2747]

SubhanAllah ... Today is my happiest day ever... Alhamdulillah. After realising that the anchor point in the Quran Surah Fath is 'forgiveness', and now I understand what the word 'qadr' is, I realised I am on the straight path ... I know Allah is close to me and protect me from my daily resposibilities as a Muslim...I feel I am a better person full of gratitute, contentment and successful in my endevour to learn more and more Quran ... Allah has open the door of knowledge and understanding of the Quran ... SubhanAllah Syukuran Utz

[@ShakSiyya]

@Aishah Nor : Insha'Allah sis. I also feel that Allah has opened many doors for me, from places I could not imagine. I also feel he's guiding me towards knowledge. But we (myself first) can never assume, for we could be in danger of becoming complacent. Let's always just try, hope and pray and Insha'Allah we will be granted the ultimate success.

Read some parts about slavery and parts about sexslaves. They are also good!

[@ramzy7330]

@@habibie which verses?

[@محمد-ر6غ4ذ]

@@habibie don't try to spread Islamophobia. Islam has abolished slavery. And when it existed they treated their slave in the most respectful manner. The prophete Muhammad (Peace be upon him) has already told us that it's forbidden to force your slave woman to have sex with you. Here's a Hadith on how we should treat the slave: حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَن وَاصِلٍ الأَحْدَبِ، عَنِ الْمَعْرُورِ، قَالَ لَقِيتُ أَبَا ذَرٍّ بِالرَّبَذَةِ، وَعَلَيْهِ حُلَّةٌ، وَعَلَى غُلاَمِهِ حُلَّةٌ، فَسَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ، فَقَالَ إِنِّي سَابَبْتُ رَجُلاً، فَعَيَّرْتُهُ بِأُمِّهِ، فَقَالَ لِيَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ ‏ يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ أَعَيَّرْتَهُ بِأُمِّهِ إِنَّكَ امْرُؤٌ فِيكَ جَاهِلِيَّةٌ، إِخْوَانُكُمْ خَوَلُكُمْ، جَعَلَهُمُ اللَّهُ تَحْتَ أَيْدِيكُمْ، فَمَنْ كَانَ أَخُوهُ تَحْتَ يَدِهِ فَلْيُطْعِمْهُ مِمَّا يَأْكُلُ، وَلْيُلْبِسْهُ مِمَّا يَلْبَسُ، وَلاَ تُكَلِّفُوهُمْ مَا يَغْلِبُهُمْ، فَإِنْ كَلَّفْتُمُوهُمْ فَأَعِينُوهُمْ ‏" ‏‏‏ Narrated Al-Ma'rur: At Ar-Rabadha I met Abu Dhar who was wearing a cloak, and his slave, too, was wearing a similar one. I asked about the reason for it. He replied, "I Abused a person by calling his mother with bad names." The Prophet said to me, 'O Abu Dhar! Did you abuse him by calling his mother with bad names You still have some characteristics of ignorance. Your slaves are your brothers and Allah has put them under your command. So whoever has a brother under his command should feed him of what he eats and dress him of what he wears. Do not ask them (slaves) to do things beyond their capacity (power) and if you do so, then help them.' " Sahih al-Bukhari 30 In-book : Book 2, Hadith 23 USC-MSA web (English) : Vol. 1, Book 2, Hadith 30 (deprecated) Sahih Bukhari Don't spread Islamophobia and go learn Islam. Don't spread Ignorance and don't wast your and our time.

The part brother Oduro said if we try to follow the guidelines nd avoid prohibitions makes a lot of sense. For example if some one goes and starts shooting people in a mall he is gonna get shot by security or police. So if you don't do something prohibited you are a lot less likely to face a bad result or response and if you are doing the guidelines and avoiding the prohibitions and something bad happens its most likly a test for you and you get a big reward for dealing with it according to islam.

[@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 to do 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.

Jazakum Allahu khayran bayyinah! Lovely lesson from this lovely teacher but i have a question its been a long time since a Friday khutbah for ustadh nouman Ali khan has been posted! Looking forward for these please post one soon!

[@iRafi_]

It's what we act also determined by Allah?

[@mlindalina1]

A question, I have an issue of binging, overeating etc. Alhamdulilah I am not overweight because I end up restricting days on end. I cannot control myself. I have this eating disorder where Its all or nothing. So, If I eat a slice of cake I end up eating the whole cake without even thinking, and then a whole packet of grapes and dates etc. This affects the quality of my iman to the point where I can't get up to pray because I'm so full or I can't even pray because I have no energy from not eating at all. Also, when I fast, i end up binging during iftar. Wallah I don't think when I binge. I only realise after and I regret it so bad. I don't throw up or take pills of any sorts because I don't want to increase this sin. I also end up arguing with my mother (which i hate myself for) because she refuses to stop buying junk food. She tells me to eat in moderation. But I mentally and physically cannot. Modernation is key. Easier said than done, wallahi. Please help as a lot of women including sisters have an eating disorder. This is why a lot of non muslim women resort to cutting themselves or fall into anorexia or obesity.

[@rosasrojas2741]

supreme try drinking a lot of water before you eat that way you will feel full faster and won't be able to eat a lot.

[@sevdedlk2118]

Fasting is great for learning how to stop yourself from doing things that you shouldn't be doing. in addition to that, you may consider getting psychological support about it from an expert.

[@and.p.146]

May Allah make it easy for you sister to find the key to moderation, I make dua for you. First, get up at night and ask Allah to help you with this problem, to guide you to achieve control, as every guidance comes from Him. Second, there are organisations that have experts on these issues, depending on where you live, do a search on health support for eating disorders and find accurate information on this topic. Knowing your condition will help you better understand the situations that might trigger you to be stuck in this vicious cycle. Although fasting is a mercy from Allah, those who suffer from eating disorders need to deal with their health before fasting (surely you can talk with a sheikh about your specific situation, if fasting is triggering for you, he will encourage you to seek a health /psychological treatment before attempting to fast for a long period of time). Third, you might want to try and take control of what you buy and cook and do not leave it to your mom, if you are able. Last, be patient with yourself, make the intention to find moderation in order to please Allah and inshaAllah you will be rewarded immensely, because this is jihad of the nafs, the best form of struggle against our own bad inclinations. Do not postpone taking action on this because it is so easy to call quits and remember you shouldn't go through this alone. Seek expert help because our parents are not equipped with the knowledge to help us. Assalamu aleikum :)

And Allah knows but he didn't reveals our destinations in front of us before it happens... This is another mercy... so we can try ! When even after Knowing all the things Allah is taking care of us... He doesn't need tto ask aanyone before destroying uus iif Allah wants! But Allah is pationately giving uus chances tto Enter The Jannah and we r bored to take actions!?! We r asking why should I do?!!!

[@saidghendir1038]

Thank you so much. The kadhaa and kadr 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.

[@A96000]

So certain aspects of your life are written or everything?

[@nighthowl1983]

But that sounds like a hard predetermination to me. No free will right?..I think the question from the sahaba should be, " if Allah predetermined everything, why should I be punished for the sins that I will be doing? Or rewarded for the deeds I'm about to do?" Because it is simply predetermined already right? But if for the sake of argument we want to make freewill and predestination work, we have to assume that our actions are random, by random means, god doesn't know our future actions. But that will be contradicting with the fact that God knows everything. You cannot have a scenario where there's random actions and there's still a God that knows everything........unless that is how god wants to let us see his glory.. incomprehensible glory....omg this might be the answer 😮😮😮😮😮 this is so embarrassing, I figured the answer to my own dilemma 🥲

Have you met this Allah? Spoken to him? Had him visit you?

[@zarailyas8337]

Mikess Nandha if "there is nothing", then I wonder how every thing on this earth was created. On its own? Then we should expect our lunch to be ready on our table without putting an effort. My point is, everything is ultimately created through a creator.

[@7mikz7]

Just because there is a lack of an answer.. does not mean that by default it is Allah. This is the thinking of a stupid and insecure person who cannot fathom uncertainty. My point then being if you point is that everything is created through a creator.. who created the creator.. Again, I'm using YOUR logic. Islam is false, and it's about time the illogicallities of religion be exposed.

[@electro639]

The question is NOT answered: Why would Allah create a human knowing that human will go to the fire (and Allah knows about it before that human is produced)? Allah brought that human to life to fail and be eternally tortured. Allah did that with the intention to torture that human after he dies because Allah knows the future results even before we are born.

[@Cimbom-q4k]

Brother can you tell me please where you read it in the Quran? Or how you came to that conclusion

[@dogmalogy3666]

Dear Sir, You said: "...That we will never be able to totally encompass [Al-Quader]" .. and we should be "... good slaves of Allah". You know something, I don't have to encompass it, Allah already gave us a glimpse of how he thinks. In Surah Al-Kahf, when Moses accompanied Al-Khidr to learn about Allah's wisdom. They encountered children playing in the street. Al-Khidr singled a child out and twisted his nick clean off, according to authentic hadith in Tafsir Ibn-Katheer. Just imagine the force it takes to achieve this. Imagine the pain, fear, and horror that child felt. Imagine the despair the parents felt when they encountered the dismembered and mutilated corpse. Just imagine it, and tell me what crime a child might commit, that justifies this atrocity. Later, in Surah Al-Kahf, Allah explains, that the child will grow up to be a non-believer. That is his crime, deserving of decapitation. What about reaching the age of reason, before accounting for sins. What about committing the crime first, before punishment? What about this child's free will; to grow up to make the choice. After all, Allah himself said that he does not want to interfere in our choices. He threw all that out the window. Way to go Allah. Allah broke all his rules, just to teach a lesson to Moses. Believe or else. Believe even if you don't have evidence. Allah just proved in this Surah that he is a thug, a murderer of children, and proud of it. Is this a merciful God? Is this a just God? Going back to what you said, yes I can encompass how brutal and vindictive this god is.

[@ShakSiyya]

@Dogmalogy Brother, you are missing the big picture here. This worldly life is temporary and you are forgetting that the Hereafter is infinite and eternal, which is difficult for us humans to comprehend. Hereafter is truly our ultimate goal. With this action, Allah saved the parents' much suffering in this life (of course they suffered for a few years with death of child). Had that child grown up, he would've gone to hell. In reality, all three instead have achieved Paradise FOREVER because of the situation that played out. The parents because they were righteous and the child because he's not accountable. Now that is Al-Hakeem, Ar-Raheem, the Most Wise, the Most Merciful.

[@dogmalogy3666]

Dear Shak Siyya, let's run a thought experiment. Someone singles out your young child and murders her. Then he tells you that Allah has given him the gift of foresight. He sees the unseen world. That your daughter would have grown up to be an unbeliever. And because of your love for her, you would have followed her and rejected your faith. That he was doing you a favour to save your soul. And despite your pain now all of you will end up in heaven when you die. Please be honest what would be your response?

[@ShakSiyya]

Dear @Dogmalogy : 2 years ago, I probably would've said this is too painful, where is the justice and good in this situation? This is unbearably cruel. I may spend the rest of my (temporary) life affected, which would of course be Allah's test. But if I attained Paradise, I'm sure at that time I would believe it was all worth it (which is reflective of anybody's test in this present life). NOW, with more knowledge on Islam and very much enjoying this path, there is still so, so much I don't understand. Including Qadr v Freewill actually. But what I am certain of (through personal experiences and education) is that I believe in the bigger picture. Some of Islam doesn't make sense to me but I put that down to the limit of my knowledge and truly believe that Allah knows everything and His plan is better than mine or one I could imagine. Even when things don't make sense, I always try to remember that. PS - I would say your fictitious person is lying since no human knows the unseen 😜

[@dogmalogy3666]

Dear Shak Siyya, so you believe the “… person is lying since no human knows the unseen”. Why would you accept the Quran, or what Mohammad is saying? What is the difference between the two claims made by Mohammad and this person? Mohammad does not present any evidence. He simply asserts that unseen things to be true. So what makes his claims more credible? Let’s use another thought experiment.. a car salesman tries to sell you a car. He tells you that it can go 1,000 miles to the gallon. You ask him to prove it. He asserts that the only way you can achieve the 1,000 MPG is when the car is sold, not before. Would you accept his claim? Would you buy the car before he presents a proof? Believing in Allah and the unseen world is 1,000 times more important than a 1,000 MPG, yet you are eager to accept this without evidence, without proof? **How do you know that the unseen world, the day of resurrection, Allah, Heaven, Hell, and everything else that Islam claims, to be true?**

[@ShakSiyya]

Dear Dogmalogy. You ask valid questions and make good analogies. When I look back at the personal experiences in my life and align them against what I know about Allah, they convince me that Islam is the absolute truth. When I had some low periods, I still continued praying and supplicating (albeit not 5 times a day) and eventually things got better and better, Alhamdulillah. I'm now in a position in my career which I would never have imagined in a million years. One thing I learned about Allah is He will open doors from areas you didn't even know existed and that describes me right now. Prophet Muhammad PBUH didn't know the unseen. He spoke of it based on what Allah told him. I believe Allah is the truth, therefore I believe the Prophet because he only gained knowledge through Al-Haq (Allah, The Truth). I will also tell you that Prophet Muhammad PBUH could not read or write. When he revealed the Qur'an to nations, part of it was '"Have they not considered the heavens and the earth were joined together and we separated them?" (21:30). He also told the nations that "everything on earth is made in pairs" (36:36). How did a person who couldn't read or write and had no possible scientific knowledge tell the world about the Big Bang and the fact there are male and female species of plants almost 1,400 years before modern scientists told us about them? So there are a couple of reasons why I believe in Allah and His revelation. As to 'what if it's all untrue'? Well because of what I have learned about Islam, I'd rather not take the risk and end up with the worst unimaginable punishment!

[@Parcha24]

the lecture is not about the title it bears that is free will vs determination concept in Islam If everything was written in qadr that means no person has nafs or self or free will which mean noone can be held accountable for it actions thus invalidating hell and heavon on the other hand if everyhting came from self, than the victim of rape and murder is also responsible for the crime being done over them as nothing is detemrnistic by outside factors so its confusing element in philosphy so i was looking for right answer in islam...

[@wishyouthebest9222]

Sounds like islam is pretty calvinistic. Nothing we can do but, oh boy, we WILL be burned forever and ever because allah guides whom he wills and decided we are not the chosen.

[@bengal-desi6526]

You're not understanding the difference between determination and free will here. Even though what happens around you is willed/determined by the creator, you still have the choice to act in whatever you do. The creator doesn't force the choices you make, rather he has control of everything around you with which he can test you. Him having control and knowledge of future events doesn't mean you can't be held responsible for your actions, because you are given control of yourself.

[@Arcflash67]

Can you name an animal more evil than the human animal? An animal that takes more than it needs from the world Allah created for all as it turns it into unneeded waste to sell it to others for a profits (Riba)? When we die where do we go? Heaven? How much does it cost to get in? If I take enough of what Allah created for all of us for myself, will it be enough to buy my way in? What about the others waiting in line behind me? If I take everything for myself, what will be left for them? Should I care? Free Will is nothing but a set of choices. If you look closely you will notice that most humans love wealth more than they love Allah. That is the measure of human Free Will. When a human chooses to own what Allah has created for every living creature, then the chain reaction caused by his choices becomes the measurement of his own Free Will. Through Free Will Allah has enabled us to choose our own Predestination. Praying will not undo what we have done. Praying will not save those we have destroyed. Praying will not alter the fact that humans are their own devil.

Tape worm

[@wolfmations]

so basically you are putting your eggs in one basket and putting faith in Allah , although humans learn through analysis and evidence , this divine wisdom cannot be tested as we cannot comprehend it so its a predicted illusion of free will under the assumption that we cannot understand the bigger picture, im either right or i'm wrong. Im going to say that I am wrong and that Allah has a plan for me i'm rekindling my faith inshallah

[@habibie]

I think you're right. I think there is no free will in Islam.

[@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.

[@בנמןהחרבברזל]

no such thing as free will

[@razilmuhammed6920]

The best answer when you can’t explain something: you cannot know it 🤷🏼‍♂️ The Quran challenges us to find self contradiction in it. And this is the biggest contradiction in it. Arguing that predetermination and free will exist at the same time is stupid because they are the opposite of each other. You can’t ever convince a non believer with this because it is a fallacy. And for a believer, he is ready to fall into these fallacies. You say no one can demolish Islam. And if science goes against it you say science is subjective. If one exposes a contradiction in Islam you say that it is because he doesn’t and CANNOT understand it (probably because he has no blessing from Allah, you say) And in that sense, Islam will always live in the minds of the believers.

[@syedali-ov9cl]

Okay to be very honest this predestination concept is hard to grasp...!! Because it can never have an specific answer it will always be contradictory but you know why?? Because there are many things which a human brain cannot understand but only if Allah wants...!! For example 1400 years a prophet Muhammad p.b.u.h splits the moon into two, now during that period in 7th,8th or other upcoming centuries people couldn’t understands it that how can this be happens?? But now we can understands it in 21 century after all the research on moon + astronomy...!! So to understand this concept then, yes god knows everything and he wrote it down already because he has power over everything (that’s why he is a god but no ordinary) but what you have to understands here is that there could be many possibilities and many answers for example there could be 2-4 stories he wrote it down for you or maybe only one (you never know)??? May be he wrote down something for you but he then changed it when he sees that your are praying and putting your best efforts (you never know)??? May be he wrote down something for you already but afterwards he erase it and rewrites it because he wants to get some work done from you(you never know because only he can do it)?? May be he already makes a system and makes some laws that the entire universe is govern by that and then he is not interfering even he always could (well you don’t know)?? But what we do know is that Allah says that life is a test and he going to put you from different tests and he already give you the guidance in Quran and sunnah then you also have a soul,nafs and intelligence of your brain to get what is right and what is wrong (yes he don’t interfere in that because it’s your choice unless he wants to interfere (you never know)...!! But then another arguments take places that why god doing this? What does he exactly wants?? Why is this unfair that to some you give guidance and some you don’t...!! Well you don’t know, because you didn’t created this world, you didn’t ask god to send you in this world or don’t, you don’t make it rain, you can’t stop a earth quake... but only he can do it...!! And trust me it doesn’t mean that god can not change your destiny yes he could it’s up to him, but you should not give up or loose hope you should always gives your best efforts because you don’t know what gonig to happen next but we do know one thing for sure that if you work hard, giving your bet, trying to improve your life, your intentions are good before any action then yes you can definitely change your life and even god changed it for You (you never know) but there is chance to be succesful both here and after...!! But if you don’t work hard, have a victim mentality put everything on destiny and god then there is 100% chance that you are going to be fail and have a miserable life....!! Use you brain and have a good intentions...!! Again god knows everything...!!

[@thisisfromajvad]

@anu._ so according to your theory, 'Allah' showed the "wrong" path to some others as well. Their decision to accept it or not is also determined by "Allah". Why punish them then? This is all made up stories. There's no logic in any of this. I understand it's a matter of belief and there's no logic in the stories people believe in. But we have to accept them as nothing more. We can't let these stories interfere in our daily lives. Just keep it inside in your heart where it gives you comfort. Don't try to impose it on others who might have their own stories. But at the end of the day, that's what they are, just stories.

The question is NOT answered: Why would Allah create a human knowing that human will go to the fire (and Allah knows about it before that human is produced)? Allah brought that human to life to fail and be eternally tortured. Allah did that with the intention to torture that human after he dies because Allah knows the future results even before we are born.

[@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 to do 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.

Are you comparing yourself to allah. Still flawed, i wished the prophet spoke about this philosophy more and made us understand 😅.
