The Book of Decrees

1. 1

2. Faith Hadith Jibraeel : He said, ‘Tell me about Imaan (faith).’ He [the Messenger of Allah (saw)] responded, ‘It is to believe in Allah, His angles, His books, His messengers, the Last Day and to believe in the divine decree, [both] the good and the evil thereof .’ 2

3. Divine Decree Indeed, all things We created with predestination [54:49] 3 There is not to be upon the Prophet any discomfort concerning that which Allah has imposed upon him. [This is] the established way of Allah with those [prophets] who have passed on before. And ever is the command of Allah a destiny decreed .[33:38]

4. Categories in Qadr The 1 st Category: Knowledge: The Belief that Allah is all-knowing with respect to his creation and they act in accordance with his prior knowledge which is infinite and eternal Writing: Then Allah wrote in Preserved tablet the destiny of the creation The 2 nd Category : Will : It is the executed will of Allah and His all-encompassing ability. It is the belief that whatever Allah has willed will occur and whatever He has not willed will not Creation: Allah has power over all things, existent and non-existent. 4

5. Divine Knowledge He is Allah , other than whom there is no deity, Knower of the unseen and the witnessed. He is the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful. [59:22] 5 It is Allah who has created seven heavens and of the earth, the like of them. [His] command descends among them so you may know that Allah is over all things competent and that Allah has encompassed all things in knowledge .[65:12]

6. Writing of Decrees Indeed, it is We who bring the dead to life and record what they have put forth and what they left behind, and all things We have enumerated in a clear register.[36:12] 6 Allah eliminates what He wills or confirms, and with Him is the Mother of the Book .[13:39]

7. Writing of Decrees 7 First: The writing fifty thousand years before the creation of the heavens and the earth, when Allah created the Pen, this is the Eternal Decree . Second: The Life-time Decree , when He took the Covenant when He said to them, “Am I not your Lord ?” Third: The Life-time Decree , when the mixed drop of male and female sexual discharge is given life inside the womb Fourth: The Annual Decree , on the Night of Power ( Laylatul-Qadr ). Fifth: The Daily Decree , which is carrying out all of the above decrees at their proper times and places.

8. First : Eternal Decree No disaster strikes upon the earth or among yourselves except that it is in a register before We bring it into being - indeed that, for Allah , is easy[57:22] 8

9. 2 nd : The Life-time Decree And [mention] when your Lord took from the children of Adam - from their loins - their descendants and made them testify of themselves, [saying to them], "Am I not your Lord?" They said, "Yes, we have testified." [This] - lest you should say on the day of Resurrection, "Indeed, we were of this unaware .“[7:172] 9

10. 3 rd : The Life-time Decree Those who avoid the major sins and immoralities, only [committing] slight ones. Indeed, your Lord is vast in forgiveness. He was most knowing of you when He produced you from the earth and when you were fetuses in the wombs of your mothers. So do not claim yourselves to be pure; He is most knowing of who fears Him ..“[53:32] 10

11. 4 th : Annual Decree on the Night of Power On that night is made distinct every precise matter ; [ Every] matter [proceeding] from Us. Indeed, We were to send [a messenger ] [44:4-5] 11

12. 5 th : Daily Decree Whoever is within the heavens and earth asks Him; every day He is bringing about a matter . [55:29] 12 This, Our record, speaks about you in truth. Indeed, We were having transcribed whatever you used to do.". [45:29 ] Allah eliminates what He wills or confirms, and with Him is the Mother of the Book . [13:39]

13. Divine will And you do not will except that Allah wills. Indeed, Allah is ever Knowing and Wise .[76:30] 13 But those who deny Our verses are deaf and dumb within darkness. Whomever Allah wills - He leaves astray; and whomever He wills - He puts him on a straight path [6:39]

14. Creations Allah is the Creator of all things and He is the Guardian over all[39:63] 14 Allah is the one who created you, then provided for you, then will cause you to die, and then will give you life. Are there any of your "partners" who does anything of that? Exalted is He and high above what they associate with Him [30:40]

15. Do the creatures have the ability and will to do their actions ? 15 Certainly, they do. The creatures do have the ability, wish and will to do their actions , and their actions are actually attributed to them . It is on that basis that they are held accountable for their actions. Thus, they are rewarded and punished because of their actions. Furthermore, Allah has not made them responsible for that which they cannot handle. Allah has affirmed that in the Scripture and the Sunnah and described them in that way…
