~! Taqdeer

Taqdeer means the perfect and complete knowledge of Allah (Allah already
knew what a person would do before he does it). It does not mean that Allah
has not granted Human Beings a choice.

The Hadith wherein there is mention of dua changing Taqdeer is interpreted
in two ways.

  1. If anything could change Taqdeer, it would be Dua.
  2. Allah already knew that a person would make a certain Dua and based on
    this Dua, Allah changed his original decree that would have taken effect had
    he not made Dua. So in actual fact, his Dua has not changed Taqdeer because
    Allah already knew of this dua.

Some things, however, are decreed by Allah in which a person has no choice.
Death and the time of death are of this category. In the case of marriage,
it is obvious that a person has a choice in whom he/she chooses as a spouse.

and Allah Ta’ala Knows Best

Re: ~! Taqdeer

When it comes to fixed things i.e. disease, death, life I believe in taqdeer. But when it comes to choices like choosing a spouse, going to a certain school, career, I think its all us making those choices for ourselves. Just for sake of convenience when things don’t work out as we wished, we love to blame our own failures on fate.

yeah…Wala alam btw :bummer:
