Why make Dua when everything is pre written??

Re: Why make Dua when everything is pre written??

My understanding of predestination which is only gained from indirect influence of being around Islamic subjects (i say this to make it obvious that i may be wrong for which people are welcome to correct me)
I think its both dua and predestination, my reasoning is that she was destined to make dua

We have free will but this is within the knowledge of Allah Subhanahu wa Ta’ala, and as such pre destination is for everything that happens

The issue about zidd is more about wanting things which are bad for you in Islam, its perfectly ok to go back and again for something[like forgiveness, not material] from Allah Ta’ala. So in my thinking we will have been predestined to do zidd [good or bad] but our free will chose it. We have free will but it does not negate pre destination because pre destination is from the Knowledge of Allah Subhanahu wa Ta’ala which is Absolute
