Aspects of belief in Al-Qadr:
Note, may Allah help you to do that which pleases Him, that belief in Al-Qadr cannot be complete until you believe in the following four aspects of this doctrine:
(a) Knowledge: this is the belief that the knowledge of Allah encompasses all things and not a single atom in the heavens or on earth falls outside of His knowledge. Allah knew all of His creation before He created them. He knew what they would do by meansof His ancient and eternal knowledge. There isa great deal of evidence that points to this such as the verses in which Allah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“He is Allah, beside Whom Laa ilaaha illa Huwa(none has the right to be worshipped but He) the All-Knower of the unseen and the seen. Heis the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful” (Al-Hashr 59:22)
“…. and that Allah surrounds all things in (His) Knowledge” (Atl-Talaaq 65:12)
(b) Writing: this is the belief that Allah has written the decrees concerning all created beings in al-Lawh al-Mahfooz. The evidence for that is the verse in which He says (interpretation of the meaning):
“Know you not that Allah knows all that is in the heaven and on the earth? Verily, it is (all) in the Book (al-Lawh al-Mahfooz). Verily, that is easy for Allah” (Al-Hajj 22:70)
And the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allahbe upon him) said: “Allah wrote the decrees concerning all created beings fifty thousand years before He created the heavens and the earth.” Narrated by Muslim, 2653.
(c) Will: this is the belief that everything that happens in this universe happens by the will of Allah. Whatever Allah wills happens and whatever He does not will does not happen. Nothing exists outside of His will. The evidence for that is in the verses where Allah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“And never say of anything, ‘I shall do such and such thing tomorrow.’ (24) Except (with the saying), ‘If Allah wills!’ …” (Al-Kahf 18:23-24)
“And you cannot will unless (it be) that Allah wills the Lord of the ‘Aalameen (mankind, jinn and all that exists)” (At-Takweer 81:29)
(d) Creation: this is the belief that Allah is the Creator of all things, including people’s actions. Nothing happens in this universe but He is its Creator, because He says (interpretation of the meaning):
“Allah is the Creator of all things, and He is theGuardian and Disposer of all affairs” (Az-Zumr 39:62)
“While Allah has created you and what you make” (As-Saaffaat 37:96)
And the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allahbe upon him) said: “Allah has made every doer and what he does.” Narrated by al-Bukhaari in Khalq Af’aal al-‘Ibaad (25) and by Ibn Abi ‘Aasim in al-Sunnah (257 and 358);classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in al-Saheehah, 1637.
Shaykh Ibn Sa’di (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Just as Allah is the One Who createdthem – meaning people – He has also created that by means of which they act, namely their abilities and will, then they do various actions of obedience and sin, by the abilities and will which Allah has created. (al-Durrah al-Bahiyyah Sharh al-Qaseedah al-Taa’iyyah, p. 18).
Warning against arguing about issues of Al-Qadron the basis of (human) reasoning:
Belief in Al-Qadris the real test of the extent ofa person’s belief in Allah. It is the true test of how much a person really knows about his Lord and what results from this knowledge ofcertain and sincere faith in Allah, and His attributes of majesty and perfection. That is because Al-Qadr raises many questions for the one who gives free rein to his reasoning to try to fully comprehend it. There have been many disputes concerning the issue of Al-Qadr and many people have engaged in debates and misinterpreted the verses of the Quran that mention it. Indeed, the enemies of Islam in all eras have provoked confusion in the Muslims’ beliefs by discussing the issue of Al-Qadr and stirring up doubts about it. So no one can have true and certain faith except theone who knows Allah by His beautiful names and sublime attributes, submitting to His commands with peace of mind and trusting in his Lord. In that case no doubts or specious arguments can find a way into his heart.
Undoubtedly this is the greatest proof that belief in Al-Qadris more important than belief in the other pillars of faith, and that the human mind cannot independently come to understand Al-Qadr, because Al-Qadr is one ofthe mysteries of Allah in His creation; whatever Allah has disclosed to us in His Bookor on the lips of His Messenger (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) we know, accept and believe in, and whatever our Lord has not told us, we believe in and we believe in His perfect justice and wisdom, and that Heis not to be questioned about what He does, but they will be questioned.
