Qadar

Encyclopedia : Q : QA : QAD : Qadar

Qadar in Arabic means fate or divine destiny. Qadar is one of the aspects of aqidah. Muslims believe that the divine destiny is when God wrote down in the Preserved Tablet ("al-Lawhu 'l-Mahfuz") all that has happened and will happen, which will come to pass as written.

According to some Muslims, what people do is not because their action is written in the Preserved Tablet but, rather, it is written in the Preserved Tablet because God knows what people will do.

Another perspective asserts that God is omniscent and therefore has foreknowledge of all possible futures. With divine power, God then also deems which futures will be allowed, and man's choice is between those possibilities approved by God.
