Q & A

What is the difference between 'Qada' and 'Qadar' in Islamic teachings?

In Islamic teachings, 'Qada' refers to the knowledge or decree of Allah about everything that will happen in the universe, decided since the beginning of time. 'Qadar', on the other hand, refers to the manifestation or occurrence of those decrees, as they happen in real life, based on Allah's will.

How do Qada and Qadar relate to each other?

Qada and Qadar are two sides of the same coin. Qada is the divine knowledge or plan of Allah, while Qadar is the execution or realization of that plan in the world. Together, they represent the complete divine decree.

What is an example of Qada as mentioned in the script?

An example of Qada is the knowledge of Allah that a specific person will be born and die at a particular time. This knowledge was decided by Allah from the very beginning.

What is an example of Qadar as mentioned in the script?

An example of Qadar is when the life events, such as the birth and death of a person, occur exactly as they were decreed by Allah, manifesting Allah's will.

What are the two categories of things related to human actions?

The two categories are: 1) Things over which humans have no choice, such as birth, death, and natural disasters (referred to as 'Takdir Mubram'). 2) Things where humans have free will and can make choices, such as working, studying, and engaging in actions (referred to as 'Takdir Mu'allaq').

What role does human effort (Ikhtiar) play in relation to Qada and Qadar?

While Qada and Qadar refer to Allah's divine knowledge and decrees, human effort (Ikhtiar) plays a role in the things where humans have free will. Ikhtiar involves making choices and taking actions that can shape outcomes, such as working hard to achieve one's goals.

What is the relationship between Qada, Qadar, and human choices in the context of faith?

Belief in Qada and Qadar means trusting that Allah has predetermined everything, but humans still have the ability to make choices within the boundaries of Allah's plan. Faith encourages humans to act with effort and sincerity, while accepting the outcomes as part of Allah's divine will.

What does the Qur'an say about changing the condition of a people or society?

In the Qur'an, Surah Ar-Ra'd (11), it is stated that 'Indeed, Allah will not change the condition of a people until they change what is in themselves.' This emphasizes the role of human effort in transforming their own circumstances.

What are some practical examples of applying the belief in Qada and Qadar in daily life?

One example is a person born in a poor family who accepts their circumstances as part of God's plan but works hard to improve their situation through education and hard work. This reflects the balance between divine decree and personal effort.

What are the benefits or wisdom of believing in Qada and Qadar?

Belief in Qada and Qadar brings several benefits: closeness to Allah, a sense of contentment and peace, optimism, gratitude for blessings, patience in times of trial, and maintaining a positive outlook on life.
