Description
The concept of Divine Will (al-Qadaa’ wal-Qadar) is one of the most profound and essential aspects of Islamic belief. Far from being an abstract theological idea, it directly shapes the mindset, emotional resilience, and daily decisions of every Muslim. In this final volume of the renowned Islamic Creed Series, Dr. ʿUmar al-Ashqar offers a clear and accessible explanation of this subject, guided by the Qur’an, Sunnah, and the insights of great scholars such as Ibn Taymiyyah.
He addresses misconceptions about fate and human choice, outlines historical debates within the Ummah, and clarifies how the true Islamic understanding of Qadar is both empowering and foundational to a believer’s worldview.
