The Meaning of Al-Qadaa’ and Al-Qadar
The linguistic and Islamic meaning of Al-Qadaa’ and Al-Qadar are inter-related. The linguistic meaning of Al-Qadaa’ refers to the “prefect commanding, decreeing, ruling, accomplishing and prefect precision in execution”, while Al-Qadar refers to the setting, commanding, executing, and encompassing in due and precise proportion.”
Islamic ally, Al-Qadar “is the ability of Allah” where He knew, wrote, willed, and created all things in due proportion before and according to a precise measure. Allah knew that all things will happen before bringing them to existence and according to predestined proportions and measures which Allah had written in a Book called Al-Laouh ul Mahfoudh (The Preserved Tablet).
Al-Qadaa’ is the perfectly precise execution and accomplishment of all things predestined to occur exactly in accordance with Allah’s previous Knowledge, Writing and Will. So, there is a strong relationship between the linguistic and Islamic meanings of Al-Qadaa and Al-Qadar…
