Not really. You had prior experience to know what your granddaughter would do. If God is all knowing he would know your whole life before you lived it and since he is not wrong no matter what choices you think you were making by God's knowledge you'd just be falling in line.

that's a good explanation

@@lavontescallion2375 exactly what I thought.

there's a difference there because you didn't create every molecule that she is made of and set them into action specifically for those things to happen, and you also didn't create the world around her nor her every experience. another thing is that you wouldint torture her for what she did.

But she's still a child, and children's brains take time to accommodate, she's a kid, so she doesn't know what she's doing, at a certain age where she reaches rationality, that rationality will depend on how you've taught her, and how external factors like friends, trauma, some sights, anything she saw or heard.

I think he is talking more about foreknowledge. Instead of predestination.

Contradiction is laughing😂😂

@lucas yes

I've heard Yasir Qadhi say we have to act as though we have free will, implying we actually don't have any

@@Anony2024 Could he change this destiny?

what use is guidance if you allah already knew if you will go to haven or hell before he created you?

Do you believe in Qadr of Allah?

The child is father (teacher ) of the man. One thing I could not understand in Islam is that we are taught that our destiny is already predetermined. Later on I realized that if our Creator did not know our future then He will not be All-knowing. This is a crucial attribute of the Creator. Then I got the answer from my little granddaughter when she was still a toddler. The first thing she used to do when she came to my house was to run to the staircase and climbed up the stairs and I had to follow her lest she fell down the stairs. So as an elderly person I knew her habits. Then I realized that the fact that I knew what she was going to do does not mean that I instigated her to go up the staircase. So my knowledge did not have anything to do with her actions which were motivated by her own volition. Then I realized that similarly the Creator's knowledge is not the motivator of our actions. He has given us freewill yet He knows what we will do since He is all knowing. Just as I could have have penned down what my little granddaughter would do before she actually does it similarly the Almighty could get our destiny written down before we actually live it. So my granddaughter taught me one of the most complex mystery of life.

As far as I know the will of Allah divide by 2 that's kauni & syar'i. (Kauni mean creation, not only matter be created but also action in this universe.) Kauni will is anything happens in this world even the murder of innocent person, everything we do and we Will do is by kauni will. But even the Allah is want the bad act happens it doesn't mean the love it. ( Yes, I know this is hard to grasp). The syar'i Will is what Allah want every person in this world doing in their life. That's is.

Let me explain bro. If we r on 4 way Allah knows that we r going to choose road no. 3 but not force us to choose road no. 3....

If we understand the concept of time, space and His knowledge, it becomes easier to understand Qadr. Firstly time and space does not apply to Him, therefore there is no such thing as He knew and he wrote. Instead it is He knows. There is no such thing as past or future for Him. Moreover He has all knowledge over all that we know and that we don't know. Therefore he knows what you will do aswell. To understnad Qadr, Imam Birghivi classifies into two types; paraphrased in the quotation, '1 that which is inevitable and 2 that which is choice dependent through will of human'. Both have are overaching, and dependent on His will. Therefore you have of 'will' to choose and Allah knows it. The idea of it written in a tablet may confuse us, the philosophical understanding is much deeper and it is not the literal tablet (that which you write on). To grasp time, space and His knowledge takes contemplation. iA we get a better understanding of it.

I don’t really understand how this works but with common sense predestination of things can be true if there what influence them to go the way they actually go

I can think of an example I hope it helps .Lets take for example a child has two dishes infront of him. His mother knows his son very well. And she knows which one will he choose to eat from. But she does not force him to eat. He takes by his own free will. Now the mother did not forced him just bcoz she knew. But again we are humans and humans have error in their thinking but Allah is Our creator and He is the All Mighty. He knows Everything. But he has given us free will. And also he Is very Just. He never punish anyone innocent. Every person is given a sign. Allah Is forgiving And love to forgive.

Its both. Its a hard concept to grasp when viewing through a human lense. God is all powerful so of course theres nothing God doesnt know, including the future. That doesnt stop you from having absolute free choice, its just that God already knows what choices you'll make. Insha'Allah you choose to continue to pursue truth and find the absolute beauty that is pure Islam

@@nabilislam1848 But then it isn’t a choice. Right? It might appear like a choice to you but it’s all an illusion because god knows what you’ll choose already. Meaning he created you, knowing every single choice youl make. From small to large choices. He already knows what you’ll choose. Not really what I’d define as free will.

I will try my best to explain to you to the best of my knowledge. May Allah guide me on this. You must know that Allah knows everything in advance. Allah is not confined to time and space. We humans and other creations are confined to space and time. Let's say in one hour you have to make a decision to go to a certain place or not. After one hour you decided not to go (This is free will). Now we will go back one hour ago. Allah knows that you will not go even when the event has not started yet. That's what He wrote in the preserved tablet. Within that one hour no one forced you about your decision. I hope you understand my explanation.

It was perfectly, also listen to mufti menks answer on that question! Islam and everything makes sense! In surah 2:253 you'll find the answer as well!

Wrong. Allah knows whether you are going to hell or heaven before he created you because he is omniscient. He knows what you will choose in the possibilities given. Allah creates some humans knowing they will burn in hell the end.

@@electro639 Exactly

No it's worse then that, nothing happens outside of Allah's will either. So he knows what you'll do because it's his will you do it.

@@electro639 You are correct that Allah knows if you are in hell or heaven but it is based on your free will. Allah gave you a chance to decide for yourself if you obey Him or not. If you obey Him then you're in paradise and if you disobey Him then you're in hell. Why would Allah put you in hell if you obeyed Him? What Allah wrote in the preserved tablet about you was based on your choices or free will.

@@rkinczel It's not His will that you do it. If you think like that then it will contradict our given free will. Allah gave us free will. What He wrote in the preserved tablet about you was based on your free will. Allah knows what will happen in advance. He wrote everything in the preserved tablet 50000 years before the creation of heavens and earth. May Allah open your heart to understand this. Insha Allah you will understand this.

Allah knows everything. He is All-Knowing. Insha Allah you will understand this.

@@galleryg998 If God know the end result in first place why he bothered to create all of life and stuff

You would probably need an hour long video for something that contentious and complex.

What you said has nothing to do with free will vs predestination

In my opinion, if life starts afterlife, we human wouldn’t have wanted to learn about Allah. Remember when in hadith after all beings were dead, Allah said who’s the king? Wheres the king? Something like that. That point i think He actually wanted us to know more and deeper about Him, our one and only God. We ain’t created just for fun, just to lalala in paradise

And the scholars said, the beginning of deen is to know God (makrifat). From makrifat, we know that we aint only from Him. But we are really really from Him. Only those who study makrifat will understand this. Shortly, life isnt only about happy, ease, sunshine and love. The depth of life is tasted thru the relationship with Allah

There's no real proof of any god it's all just ideas of men

Allah says he will not do any injustice to anyone if he did like you said then that's not justice because we can say that when putting into hell oh god what did I did For example a teacher knows about his students who is going to pass and who. Is going to fail . If the teacher says that no exam needed because I know everything about their results and if we proceed like that then it's not. Justice

Define 'God'

@@muneebfaisal9125 God is a human concept of a being who could have created everything. Humans have proceeded to give god attributes after creating him

God's omniscience does not necessarily mean God is pre-determining my choices. This is a fallacy of projecting anthropomorphism on God.

@@greengalaxy8873 Gods omniscience PLUS the fact that he is the one who designed and created us while knowing what we will do means that he is in fact the one who is making the choices. Not us

@@pauljohnson6019 What about you?

@@George-iv1hi I understand fully, God knows everything- he knows the outcome of your free will, yet doesn't violate it, therefore all the variables have been calculated, you have limited free will, yet God has predetermined what will happen, based on the outcome of your free will.

ANSWER!!! Chapter 2, verse 253: "...If Allah had so willed, succeeding generations would not have fought among each other, after Clear (Signs) had come to them, but they (chose) to wrangle, some believing and others rejecting. If Allah had so willed, they would not have fought each other; but Allah fulfills His plan." Here Allah explains His plan. It shows we don't know what is Allah's will unless he tells us. So in that case, we do what we choose to do (freewill)

@@Journal_Haris 😂😂😂

@@Journal_Haris bro you believe in predestination and free will you don't make any sense.

you don't understand it clearly. Allah knows everything from the beginning to the end so he wrote it, that makes it predestination, but you don't do the things you do just because Allah knows it first, you do it because you have free will, and Allah doesn't interfere with your free will but he knows what you are going to do before you do it. so you do things with your own free will and Allah knows it first what you are going to do. but you don't do things just because Allah knows it.

@@abdurahimnegussie3850 brother, your point is our course of action is completely done by our choice not God. Ok But my question is ... There is a saying that Without God's permission nothing be happened. So in this formula My course of action is also done by God. So where is the freedom bro?????

Aharon ben Avram God has a given you a brain to use its your choice to sin or not

To put it simple. Imagine you are playing a game where the routes you take will change the outcome. Allah knows every single route you could’ve of took, but Allah has given you the freedom choose your routes. There is definitely routes where you are not a sinner and that.

Chapter 2, verse 253: "...If Allah had so willed, succeeding generations would not have fought among each other, after Clear (Signs) had come to them, but they (chose) to wrangle, some believing and others rejecting.
