🏵️🏵️🏵️ The concept of free will versus predestination is profound in Islamic philosophy. The Quran emphasizes that humans have been granted free will to choose their actions, as highlighted in Surah Al-Kahf (18:29), which speaks of the truth being evident and the freedom to choose. Additionally, in Surah Al-Imran (3:154), it is mentioned that Allah knows what is in our hearts and our intentions, implying that while He has knowledge of our paths, we are still accountable for our choices.

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) taught that believers are rewarded for their intentions and deeds, reinforcing the significance of free will in our moral responsibility. Duhita, recognizing the balance between divine knowledge and human choice is crucial. We are not mere puppets of fate; we have the power to shape our destinies through our actions.

Thank you for exploring such an intriguing topic, Duhita! Your insights prompt a necessary discourse on the intersection of faith and free will. How do you think our choices reflect our understanding of divine wisdom?
