Muslims believe in predestination and that everything happens according to the will of Allah. 🏵️🏵️
The Quran states, "Say: 'Nothing will happen to us except what Allah has decreed for us: He is our protector.' And in Allah let the believers put their trust" (Surah At-Tawbah 9:51).
This verse emphasizes the trust that believers should have in Allah's plan for their lives.

The concept of predestination in Islam is further supported by Hadith.
In a Hadith narrated by Abdullah ibn Abbas, the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, "Know that if the nation were to gather together to benefit you with anything, they would not benefit you except with what Allah had already prescribed for you, and if they were to gather together to harm you with anything, they would not harm you except with what Allah had already prescribed against you" (Sunan at-Tirmidhi).

However, Islam also teaches the concept of free will.
Humans have the capacity to make choices and decisions that can affect the course of their lives.
The Quran states, "Whoever wills, let him believe, and whoever wills, let him disbelieve" (Surah al-Kahf 18:29), highlighting the importance of personal choice.

While predestination and free will may seem contradictory, they work together to shape an individual's life.
Islam emphasizes the importance of accepting Allah's plan for one's life while still making meaningful choices.
The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, "Take benefit of five before five: your youth before your old age, your health before your sickness, your wealth before your poverty, your free time before you are preoccupied, and your life before your death" (Musnad Ahmad).
This Hadith encourages individuals to make the most of their lives while also remaining mindful of Allah's plan.

In the end, Muslims believe in predestination and free will.
While Allah's plan guides the direction of an individual's life, personal choices and decisions can still have a significant impact.
Muslims are encouraged to trust in Allah's plan for their lives while also making meaningful choices.
