Al-Qadr/Human freedom

Al-Qadr

belief in predestination

Al-Jabiriyah

Humans have complete control over their

destiny. Therefore, on the Day of

Judgement, Allah will look at your actions

from this life and decide whether you

spend eternity in Jannah or Jahannam.

Al-Qadiriyyah

Humans have no control over our actions and

everything is dictated by Allah. Therefore, the day

of Judgement's outcomes are already decided and

your fate has been predetermined.

C) Explain two reasons why Al-Qadr (predestination) is important to Muslims (5)

Al-Qadr is important to Muslims as it teaches them that Allah is omnipotent (all-powerful) as he created everything and is responsible for everything. The Qur'an states 'he creates what he wills'. This means that only things that Allah wills or predetermines can happen, teaching Muslims Allah is omnipotent.

Al-Qadr is also important to Muslims because it teaches them that Allah is omniscient. Muslims believe that Allah wrote down in the preserved tablet everything that has been and will be. This shows Allah knows everything we are going to do, demonstrating his omniscience.
