Re: Why make Dua when everything is pre written??
Wa alaikum salaam dear vroom. I am afraid I cannot start a detailed discussion over things I have explained already in detail from my point of view till people learn things and accept my explanations or offer better explanations themselves. Otherwise people talk pass each other and do not learn from each other.
If people know urdu, I have put up enough information for them as well to make them think but each person reaches a stage of learning all by oneself in ones’ own way in one’s own time or that each of us learns at one’s own pace. No matter how clever one may think one is, yet one cannot teach a child all one wants to teach overnight. Each person has to find his own way to the truth whatever it may be. Humanity as a whole has a long way to reach where it needs to be to benefit from the revelation of its creator. It is not where it was since its origin rather it has moved on but still there is a very long way to go.
Please be rest assured that I am aware of a lot more than what I have been able to write down so far. I do not get involved in sectarian nonsense. It is therefore better that people read what I have written to come out of their comfort zones and think and do what needs to be done otherwise things are not going to change for the better. If we will keep hiding in holes like foxes then we will be smoked out by those who wish to enslave us to keep us enslaved to use and abuse us simple minded human beings. The quran is a book for education based revolution in order to take humanity to highest level of its development and progress.
As for qadr, just know this that when it comes to absolute or fixed knowledge then choice becomes eliminated because it is one or the other.
When we talk about knowledge of Allah, we must remember that Allah is a limited being as well because he is not a man but a God. Being a God limits Allah in many ways ie he cannot be expected to be like his creatures in any way in his existence or in his actions. Allah is ever existing is logical and consistent but knowing all already and having ability to choose are limited by each other. If we accept the knowledge of Allah is fixed in every way then we have no choice but to accept that Allah is bound by what he knows already so he cannot choose to do anything otherwise than what he knows already. For example, if Allah always knew he was going to create this universe then had he any choice in not creating it? If he did not create universe then what happens to his already knowing that he was going to create the universe?
This is why we have no choice but accept that some attributes of Allah are necessary for completeness of his being but others are necessary for completeness of his ability to do things. So Allah always had essential knowledge which enabled him to think, plan and do things as well as he had ability to know things as per his planning ahead and doing things depending upon his purpose for doing something. This is why, qadr is something to do with his planning and execution as per his purpose for doing all this. Allah did not know whether he was going to create this world or not but he was able to think out and do things as he pleased so at one stage of his existence in his time scale he thought of creating this world so he planned all he needed to plan and then executed his plan and here we are. Because it was Allah who planned each and everything so he knew what he wanted out of all this exercise therefore he put in place directors to ensure end result ie in a way he set up a closed loop system. This is why we see that the universe works in a particular way and not haphazardly or randomly. We have been given ability to choose within already set conditions this is why we cannot escape those set limits. Our choices are limited by end purpose of Allah. All this is explained in detail within the quran and that is why people need to educate themselves to be able to understand it properly. When people will do that a new world order will become a reality as told in the quran but till then we are just blind mice running around in a maze not knowing what is going on.
The main thing to realise is that Allah is as powerful and knowledgeable as he has shown us through his creation and revelation. In other words this is the best Allah could do. We know only a little bit of it so far but he has created us human beings to show us his glory through his guidance and our own effort to follow it. We have yet greater discoveries to make than we have done so far. It is because we have yet to reach the farthest galaxies and stars to realise actual glory of our creator and sustainer to see his greatness before our very eyes. We are the best creatures of Allah and he is waiting for us to prove it to ourselves and our creator. This is why he did not create us as his slaves to keep banging our head on the floor thinking we are rendering a great service to our creator. The real service is knowing ourselves and our creator through his creation and revelation. This is why knowing both the creation and revelation is essential for us to become really awestruck by our wonderful creator and sustainer. In fact one day we humans will surprise ourselves how clever we are and that is how glory of our creator will become obvious to us through our own learning and creativity. Something mullahs have no sense of, this is why they are trying to keep people illiterate, uneducated, untrained, unskilled and unthinking. They are not serving purpose of Allah but satan and satan is any person who opposes the purpose Allah has created everything for and therefore misleads oneself and others for his lower ambitions and desires ie to rule people and use and abuse them instead of setting them on the course that Allah has provided for mankind.
regards and all the best.
