Q & A

What is the concept of Qada and Qadar in Islam?

Qada and Qadar are concepts in Islam that refer to the predestination and divine will of Allah. Qada refers to Allah's decree that occurs in the future, while Qadar is the manifestation of that decree in the present, shaping events that happen to individuals.

How does Qada differ from Qadar?

Qada is the divine decision or will of Allah regarding something that will happen in the future, such as the creation of the earth. Qadar is the realization or actualization of this divine decision in the present, like how human beings live on earth.

What does it mean to believe in Qada and Qadar?

Believing in Qada and Qadar means trusting that Allah has decreed everything that happens, both good and bad. It is an essential part of Islamic faith, where a Muslim accepts that Allah is the ultimate source of all decisions and events in the world.

Why is belief in Qada and Qadar a fundamental aspect of Islamic faith?

Belief in Qada and Qadar is crucial in Islam because it affirms that Allah has control over all things, from the creation of the universe to the individual fate of every living being. It strengthens a Muslim’s trust in Allah's wisdom and ensures that they accept both the good and bad in life.

What are the different types of divine decree (Takdir) in Islam?

There are two main types of Takdir in Islam: Takdir Ilahi (divine decree that is unchangeable, such as death or the end of times) and Takdir Ikhtiar (a decree that is related to human effort, such as gaining knowledge or wealth).

What is the significance of the concept of 'Takdir Ilahi' and 'Takdir Ikhtiar'?

Takdir Ilahi refers to Allah's fixed decrees, like death, gender, and the Day of Judgment, which cannot be changed. Takdir Ikhtiar, on the other hand, refers to outcomes that are influenced by human choices and efforts, such as striving for knowledge or wealth.

What does the concept of 'Takdir' teach Muslims about personal responsibility?

The concept of Takdir teaches that while Allah decrees the overall fate, humans still have the responsibility to make efforts within the scope of their lives. By doing so, they fulfill their role as caretakers (khalifah) on earth and are accountable for their actions.

What is the role of prayer and supplication in influencing Takdir?

Prayer (du'a) and supplication are seen as ways to influence Takdir, especially the Mu'allaq (contingent) type, where a person's efforts and prayers can alter or improve their circumstances, such as health or wealth.

How does belief in Qada and Qadar affect a Muslim's attitude toward life challenges?

Belief in Qada and Qadar helps Muslims maintain patience, gratitude, and resilience in the face of challenges. They accept that everything happens according to Allah's will, whether it is perceived as good or bad, and they strive to learn from these experiences.

How do the Quran and Hadith support the belief in Qada and Qadar?

The belief in Qada and Qadar is supported by several Quranic verses and Hadiths, such as Quran Surah Al-An'am (6:59), Surah Maryam (19:21), and the Hadiths of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), which emphasize Allah’s knowledge of all things and the predestination of every event in the universe.
