Taqdir /Destiny
Abdullah — Ibn Mas`ud
— said, “The Messenger of Allah , the Truthful One, sal Allahu ‘alaihi wa
sallam, told us:The creation of anyone of you is gathered for forty days in
his mother’s stomach as a Nutfah, then he becomes a clot for a
similar period of time, then he becomes a little lump of flesh for a
similar length of time. Then the angel is sent to him and he breathes the
soul into it, and four things are decreed: his provision, his life-span,
his deeds, and whether he will be wretched or blessed. By the One besides
Whom there is no other god, one of you may do the deeds of the people of
Paradise until there is no more than a forearm’s length between him and it,
then the decree will overtake him and he will do the deeds of the people of
Hell and thus enter Hell. And a man may do the deeds of the people of Hell
until there is no more than a forearm’s length between him and it, then the
decree will overtake him and he will do finally the deeds of the people of
Paradise and thus enter Paradise.[ Bukhari and Muslim]
FREE WILL AND QADR
To make choice with regard to beliefs and deeds.
Honor bestowed upon mankind
It sets us apart from the angels
Its not absolute ,it has limits.
Ability to think and to reason.
Knowledge of revelation/quran is out of Allah’s mercy .
Will of humans connected with will of Allah(destiny will happen).
Answerable to the choices we make, not for which we had no control.
What Allah wills from us is a secret(We are not commanded to do ,which Allah has decreed).
What Allah wants from us,he has commanded to do(which Allah has enjoined upon us).
Qadr/destiny =coming from ALLAH (decreed)
Qadr/destiny =cannot justify the mistakes/sins of an individual(seek forgiveness from Allah).
Qadr/destiny =if it was an excuse ,the kuffar would have use it when they see the punishment,coming of prophets would be meningless.
Qadr/destiny=is not an excuse for sins.
Can predestined change? If yes then how?
As per His Knowledge, He has written all good and bad as they are to
happen and as it was to be done. It is not so, that we have to do as He has
written, but He has written as we would to do. His writing did not
force any person to do anything. This is known as Taqdeer. The Holy Prophet
(ﷺ) has said that one
who rejects Taqdeer is like the fire worshippers in this nation.
You can now realise
that whatever we will do, Allah has knowledge of it. Allah recorded this
knowledge on the sacred Tablet and this is Taqdeer.
Mubram‑e‑Haqeeqi: refers to inevitable fate and is not changeable(can
not be changed) If the Pious servants of Allah intend to intercede in these
issues, then their thoughts are diverted from such issues.
“He(ibrahim)
began to protest with us about the nation of Lut”. Allah said “O Ibraheem! Do not enter this thought,
for verily the punishment is to descend upon them.” This is an example of
Mubram‑e‑Haqeeqi.
Mu’allaq Mahz: refers to that which is evidently pending the books of the Angels and can be changed? Muallaq items refer to those items of Taqdeer which can be reached by most Awliyah Allah. Through their duas and through their striving, it can be alleviated.
Example- Huzoor
Ghaus‑e‑Azam (radi allahutala anhu) says, “I can cause Qaza‑e‑Mubram to be
alleviated.” “Verily Dua alleviates Qaza‑e‑Mubram”(hadith)
Mu’allaq Shabi Ba Mubram :refers to that which is not evidently shown to be pending in the books of the Angels, but it is in the Knowledge of Allah, that it is a pending situation (can be changed for example through the duas of Allah’s chosen servants).
Why did Allah didn’t
made all humans Muslim?
When ever you get these type of doubt in your mind , recite darud sherif and
kalima shahadat . If we keep this in our practice many types of doubt never come in mind.
He is not asked
about what He does but they are asked’. [21/23] So anyone who asks: `Why did
Allah do that?’ has gone against a judgement of the Book,
For there are two kinds of knowledge: knowledge which is accessible to
created beings, and knowledge which is not accessible to created beings.
Denying the knowledge which is accessible is disbelief, and claiming the
knowledge which is inaccessible is disbelief.
Belief can only be
firm when accessible knowledge is accepted and inaccessible knowledge is not
sought after.
When I want to talk to allah I say prayers and when I want that he talk to me I recite quran- Hazrath Ali(ra)
