Free will vs preordained destiny

Re: Free will vs preordained destiny

@Theorist

^so then how was the book of decrees written? Someone must have written it and must have seen what would happen. Free will concept will only hold true if you could change what’s written in the book. The fact that you can’t render what’s already been written nullifies the concept of free will.

So do you give credit to God’s book of decree for all the happiness in your life right now? Do you give credit to Him for making you a successful, independent, intelligent woman that you are today? Surely, He must have meant it that way and you didn’t have to do anything to achieve any of it, it was pre-written and it was going to happen whether you worked hard or not, no one could change your destiny. You aren’t going to give credit to yourself that you made your life what it is today? That you worked hard and made the right decisions in life? No? Was it all God’s favours, His preordained destiny for you?

I failed because it was in my kismat to fail. I will not bother working hard to get somewhere because I cannot change my kismat. I will fail no matter how much I study. Huh? Life is what YOU make it… God already knows what you’re going to make of your life… He knows your every move… that is very different to planning your every move. YOU plan your moves, only God knows it even before you make the moves. Simple as that.
