Divine Will and Decree

I wish to know our stance on ‘Can Allah do everything’? We know Allah doesn’t sleep nor is He in need of it. But there are some people who say that, although this doesn’t Befit His Majesty, we cannot say ‘Never or can’t’ when it comes to Allah doing things. I know Allah can never lie, but some say that, he can but he chooses not to and it doesn’t befit Him.

The idea of “Allah can lie or sleep” is preposterous and insulting to Allah! These things are impossible to happen and it is part of Allah’s majesty and might! It is like saying Allah is all living and doesn’t die but he can die! What kind of nonsense people dare to speak about Allah!

Someone asked me what is wrong with tattooing since our body is made of earth and to the earth the body perishes when once it’s buried so it’s okay to do what you want to do with your physical self cause it’s the soul that leaves the body which is not tarnished by our actions. Your help will be much appreciated if you could please explain in the most informative manner, thank you.

Islam is submitting your will to Allah and fulfilling His commands and orders without any questions asked! Satan was ordered to prostrate to Adam. He failed to comply and wanted to know the logic behind this order and hence, he was doomed to hell for eternity. As Muslims, we say: we hear and we obey […]

The creation all belong to Allah and He can do with them whatever He wants! Allah is testing them. {“Certainly, We shall test you with fear, hunger, loss of wealth, lives and fruits; but give glad tidings to the patient—those who, when afflicted with calamity say, “Truly to Allah we belong, and truly to Him […]

Can procrastination be a method of Allah preventing someone from doing something that eventually would come out to be unnecessary, useless, or irrelevant; and instead of doing it, Allah would keep a man busy with something more beneficent or useful?

It could be, but it would depend on what the person is procrastinating on.For example, procrastinating in doing good deeds or praying salah on time and being lazy is from the shaytaan.

It is said that Allah has written everthing about you before your birth. Then do we have to rely on Taqdeer when it is already written what you are going to be and how you r going to be? But still people run after money and other worldly things.

Why don’t you sit home without buying or cocking anything and say that if Allah wills it, food will come to me without me doing anything and I will eat? Why don’t you jump from the tallest building and say: if Allah wills it, I will land safe on my feet?No one will do such […]

I have a friend who believe in the qadar, good but not bad. She does not believe Allah has actually writing the death of these war victims. Is such a person should still be kept as a friend? I advice her taht we should believe in the good and bad but she is argumentative. She is my neighbor and shows me a lot of love, but it is hard for me to do so as this a pillar of our faith. How do you deal with such people. I feel hypocrisy when smiling with her.

Whoever doesn’t believe in Qadar, good and bad and that Allah had created this and willed it, he is not Muslim and you shouldn’t be with such a person.

This is from Satan and he is making you think this. The belief in such a thing is a sign of the weakness of your Iman as you should reject his all together. Forms of worship draw people closer to Allah and causes them to prosperous in this life and in the hereafter. Therefore, don’t […]

You must not panic. Trust Allah and depend on Him and try to organize your time so that you give each subject a number of hours without exceeding it or reducing it after you divide your time.

I am unable to understand the relationship between Qadr and free will. If Allah swt has decreed that we shall do something, then there is no way that we will not do it. In the same way, if Allah swt has decreed Heaven or Hell for someone then how can belief/disbelief in Tawheed be an act of free will since Allah swt has already decreed my end result? Please Clarify!

If Allah has decreed it, it will happen. However, you have to believe that Allah is fair and just. Allah has created the people and gave them the will to choose. Those who choose wrongly will be thrown in hell. They can’t complain that this is Allah’s will as they didn’t know what Allah’s will […]

My mum said that Allah has written it on your destiny that you commit sin so therefore it is not our fault, I told her it is true that Allah has written down in your destiny what sins you will commit, for example He know you will steal so he wrote it down in your destiny, He did not force you to do it but He knew you would so He wrote it in your destiny, is this true?

You are absolutely correct. We can’t justify our sins by saying that Allah willed it. No one will accept to jump from a building saying that if Allah wills it, I will land on my feet because they know that this is their own doing.
