This means that Allah has determined everything that will happen in the universe\, including our actions\, before they occur. However\, this does not negate the idea of free will. Rather\, we have the ability to make choices\, but Allah already knows what those choices will be. Understanding this concept helps us to have a greater appreciation of Allah’s power and knowledge\, and accept the events in our lives with patience and trust in Allah’s plan. Join us on April 1\, 2023 to learn more about this important concept.
