6. Belief in The Qadar (Divine Decree)
﷽
Everything that happens, is due to the will and decree of Allah. Nevertheless, Muslims also understand that they are given free will and have the ability to distinguish between good and evil.
The belief in Divine Predestination includes belief in four things:
Allah created everything,
Allah knows everything; the past and present,
There is a record of everything that has happened and will happen,
Whatever Allah decrees to occur, will occur. Whatever Allah wills not to happen, does not happen.
❝Do you not know that Allah knows what is in the heaven and earth? Indeed, that is in a Record. Indeed that, for Allah, is easy.❞
❝The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:
‘No slave truly believes until he believes in four things: in Allah alone with no partner; that I am the Messenger of Allah; in the resurrection after death; and in the Divine Decree (Qadar).❞
No matter how bad a situation may be, we must always put our trust in Allah and His decree.
