Re: “All knowing”
because he already decreed they don’t do it even if told what was the right thing to do!
Not unfounded. According to your concepts, God has already decreed that I would disobey Him.
Here from your own link:
- Everything happens according to Allah’s will, knowledge, predestination and decree.

One doesn’t have to deny the existence of God. I am just questioning all the fiasco around ‘day of judgement’ if everything has already been decreed.
I do something really really terrible. There are only two possibilities:
- God did not per-determine me to do it. I had a choice to do or not to do it.
- God had already decreed that I would do that terrible thing.
Punishing me in case 1 seems fair, but punishing me in case 2 is unfair. I didn’t have a choice but to do that terrible thing!
God decreed that a man be a king in Russia. God also decreed before even his birth that he would be a merciless butcher who would kill thousands of innocent people. God is going to judge him for his evil deeds. He had no choice but to commit those crimes. How can I believe God is just and fair?
