Answer 3

Edit rhsaunder - The name Allah is Arabic for THE LORD ... you bone twist! Your so blind and sealed with hate its unreal!

Written on your soul the day its inserted into the body in the womb by the angels of Allah.

Its all written on there.

2 paths always for you, your choice.

Submission or your own desires.  That should answer all those questions you have.

Answer 4

He knows what we are gonna do but we do it ourselves..

He knows that in future a person will do this that is why He Has written it before a person does that.

For example if i plan to give some money in charity. He will have written that because He knows that i will do it future. He knows the future and past and present.

Answer 5

Specifics about our life are predecided by God. For example, to whom we will be born.

This concept is NOT easy for us to understand, as most of us tend to judge things with the human frame of reference. For humans it is impossible to know the future. But this is not true about God. He knows precisely what decisions we will be making. How we will be behaving. For him the future is as clear as the past and the present.

It is just like a person in the air and the ground. The person on the ground is waiting on a station for the train. While the person in the air can see how far the train is and when will it reach the station.

Now God knows precisely what our decisions will be. And also what we will be doing in life. Based on that, your destination is Pre-known to God. While for us it is NOT known. We do NOT incur the consequences or the rewards TILL we accomplish. While as far as God is concerned HE does NOT make us do anything. He KNOWS what we will do.

Bani Israel were Foretold much earlier that they would commit gross arrogance and sin in the world TWICE. God does not make you commit sin. He knows that you will and precisely how many times and when. For us (Humans) this may seem impossible, but for Him it is not.

Therefore, the blame is not on God, but on the souls who do.

Answer 6

Future is something that Allah has reserved to Himself. It is, in other words, part of the Unseen.

Allah says: "Say (O Muhammad): No one in the heavens and the earth knows the Unseen but Allah; and they know not when they will be raised (again)." [Sûrah al-Naml: 65]

The mainstream Muslim position is that Allah has the knowledge of all things and He has the power over all things. Allah, however, has also granted freedom to human beings. Allah’s power and foreknowledge do not mean that human beings have no freedom, nor does Human freedom negate Allah’s power and foreknowledge. Human beings are free only as much as Allah has granted them the freedom. However, in spite of our human freedom we are still under the control of Allah and within His knowledge. Allah will judge us according to the freedom and responsibility that He gave us. He knows very well how much freedom we have and to what extent we are able to exercise our freedom, each one of us in our own circumstances. It is for this reason that we say that only Allah is the True and Final Judge. In the Qur’an He is called “Ahkam al-hakimin” (the best of all the judges, Hud, 11:45; at-Tin, 95:8).

Answer 7

We believe in Predestination in Islam known as Qadar, Qadar is one of the aspects of aqidah we believe that the divine destiny is when Allah wrote down in the Preserved Tablet ("al-Lawhu 'l-Mahfuz") all that has happened and will happen, which will come to pass as written.

Because His Knowledge, Will, and Power are absolute and unbounded, Allah knows the results of all events and choices before their occurrence. A human being, however, does not have access to this knowledge, and thus he acts in accordance with a desire from within him. Even though his ultimate choice corresponds with Allah's eternal knowledge, he is still accountable for it, thus that is why as Muslims we should strive for the best
