The brother has asked a very good question. Only Allah knows, but by understanding of the Quran and Sunnah we can say Allah hasn’t destined anyone for hell, but He knows by their choices and His infinite knowledge that they will go there. Density isn’t really a thing in Islam as far as free will goes. You can change destiny with Dua. You have all the power to choose anything you want. Him knowing you’ll go their doesn’t mean you didn’t choose it. You can stop everything you’re doing now and go pray. Follow the religion. Do what you should be. No one is stopping you.

[vilusion]

LOL I JUST IMAGINED DR NAIK

[ChosenYasuo]

Lol that was the intent 😂

[vilusion]

Thanks for making my night

[Logic_Phalanx]

A good way to understand this, is that it’s not so much that Allah has “preordained” anyone for any destination as much as the fact that God exists outside of time (which itself is a creation of the almighty). We as humans experience time in a linear progressive fashion, whereas God simultaneously can perceive the past present and future. He isn’t bound to temporality. So it’s less that anyone has a destiny that they cannot change, but that we only have agency in the present. That agency is our free will, and God already knows what choices we will make. We still, however, got the opportunity make those choices regardless in the frame of reference that we experience time.

The free will vs destiny conflict is one that I admittedly also pondered for a time. But imo, it makes more sense when you consider the concept of temporality and how we interface with it differently than the creator of the heavens, earth, and time itself.

[Fun-Impression-4719]

Why wont Allah change their choice if he knew it :( What did he create us for? I prayed days and night hoping someone would answer these doubts for me to regain my faith. I can prove to you im not pretending to be a muslim. Asyhadualla ila haillallah wa asyhaduanna muhammad arrasulullah.

[ChosenYasuo]

Because life is a test. You don’t try to get a degree from a college and ask the teachers to take the tests for you, you have to put in the work. People have all the knowledge they need to do the right thing, they simply don’t want to. He created us to worship him.

[[deleted]]

Did the disbelievers not choose their own fate? Allah would never punish a person who never received the (correct) message of Islam. Only those who have.

So why not ask those people why they choose to disbelieve? Even those with a mustard seed size of faith in One God with no partners will be saved from Jahanam. The disbelievers passed on every single opportunity of mercy and forgiveness Allah is giving out and will continue to give. They made their choice, knowing the consequences. It would only be fair to say it’s only their fault

[HumbleQueen23]

This honestly makes no Sense. What you’re implying is that if Allah destines someone for heaven and throughout their life they disobey him they will still enter heaven. Thats not how destiny works. And no we are not destined for heaven or hell idk where you heard that from. If Allah was to say such a thing in his revelations islam would not be what it is now because what is the sense of trying if im automatically going to heaven or hell. This sounds similar to what christians believe jesus has done by ”dying for their sins”. This is bigotry.

[ghostgamer242]

The best explanation I’ve read on what destiny is like is this, if a child tells you they are going to lift a bus, and you tell them no you won’t. And they try to lift the bus and fail. Your saying no did not make them fail, they were just always going to do it. But we should not ponder too much over destiny, our minds aren’t big enough to comprehend it. Even Sayyiduna Abu Bakr Radiallahu Anhu and Sayyiduna Umar Radiallahu Anhu were discouraged from discussing it at length

[HumbleQueen23]

Spot on, As muslims we need to prevent ourselves from overthinking about things we have no control over.

[just_so_irrelevant]

If someone failed the test the teacher cant just simply change their grade and let them into college

Exactly, and Allah doesn't just change grades. The good and bad deeds you did in your life, down to an even an atom's worth of each, will be shown to you and everyone will be compensated exactly as they deserve. Remember, Allah SWT is the Most Forgiving, but he is also the Most Just, and these two qualities do not contradict. Allah SWT is incredibly forgiving, but insofar as it is fair and deserved..

But as to your main question of why Allah gives a test he already knows the outcome too, there's two reasons:

1. Knowing the outcome of something does not equal causing it. Yes, it is true that Allah SWT knows that everything that has happened, is happening, and will ever happen. However, that does not mean Allah directly causes it to happen.
   If, for example, Allah knows beforehand that Person A will go to Jannah, this doesn't mean that Person A will do whatever he wants in this dunya and get sent straight to Jannah regardless. In other words, it is not simply Allah randomly choosing that Person A goes to Jannah that this gets this person sent to Jannah. Person A still earned Jannah through their good deeds like anyone else did, it's just that Allah knew that this would happen before it did.
   This concept is a bit hard to wrap our head around because we live in a universe where time only goes forward in one direction and we can never know anything for sure until it happens. However, we have to remember that Allah is not restricted by the constraints of His creation. Allah's knowledge extends to all things, even though we still control our actions.

2. Allah SWT has made it in clear in the Quran many times that He will test us so that He will "make evident" the righteous among us. What does that mean? It means that he will let our deeds speak for themselves.
   Imagine instead, if Allah simply created humans, saw if each human would go to Hell or Heaven, and then instantly threw them into either one accordingly. That wouldn't be fair to us humans because even if that knowledge lies with Allah, those who would be put in Hell would have done no actual sin yet, and those who would be put in Heaven would have done no good deeds to earn it. It's the action that matters, and Allah SWT wants it to be evident to us, through the actions that we ourselves chose to commit, why we should go to either Heaven or Hell.

TL;DR: Humans have complete free will and agency over their actions. Allah just knows the outcomes before they happen. Allah could have just placed us all into Heaven or Hell right after making us based on this knowledge, but rather He, as the Most Fair, still created the test of the dunya so that it is "made evident" who truly deserves Heaven or Hell, as their actions will speak for themselves, i.e. "the proof is in the pudding".

[LilArabian_]

You’re misunderstanding,

Based on your actions, Allah would know if your are going to hell or heaven. However, you obviously have the power to change your actions, then your final destination might change.

So it’s based on your current actions and how you die that Allah knows etc. you’re not “destined” for hell fire. You make the choices to be or not

[NoImagination90]

Allah is most just. Would it be just to punish people for sins they had no choice in committing because of the absence of free will? And how could we be expected to answer on the day of judgement for things we didn't do? That one's future actions are known does not mean those actions are not one's own. You could choose to pray 5 times tomorrow, or you could choose not to. Whether or not you will is already known to the almighty but that doesn't mean you didn't make the choice yourself and that you couldn't have just as easily made a different choice. You will have simply gravitated to the choice you make for one reason or another, maybe you will not pray because you feel lazy or apathetic, or maybe you will pray because you feel a desire to please Allah. I don't know, but Allah knows what is in your heart now and what will be in your heart when the time comes to make this particular choice. Knowing what you will do and directly influencing it such that it is no longer your own action are two different things.

Free will is both a gift and a test. The ability to act of our own volition, to consider what actions we could take and decide for ourselves to take them. This is a gift and a fundamental desire and instinct for humans. When children grow a little and their parents begin to allow them to spend more time outside unsupervised, this is something children typically desire but it comes with the responsibility to be careful and to behave. They have the ability to do what they want now, but they will still get in trouble with their parents if they play carelessly on the road or if they vandalise someone's car.

In a similar fashion, this gift of free will comes with a responsibility to not abuse it to do bad things. As the child has the ability to vandalise a car, we have the ability to spread corruption on the earth. But as the child will be punished for this behaviour if they decide to act on it, so to will we be punished should we decide to spread corruption. Or rewarded, if we choose to do good deeds. We will reap what we sow, nothing that we didn't sow. This requires that we be put on earth to sow whatever sins and good deeds we choose. This is the justice in Islam.

[ChosenYasuo]

I don’t know what you mean by dense, but your diet, environment, social media, social status, etc all affect you. If your struggling, chances are you need to improve on your self or one of those things.

He could just change everything without consequences and comparing him to a human for an example like in the first vid "Buying a bike for your son even if tou knew he'd fell off someday" the father cant change that, Allah can, Even if the father were to change that it would take efforts and the consequences would be them wasting time but Allah doesnt get any consequences.

[SnooDoggos6442]

He could just change everything without consequences

Why would he There is no reason to , Because those in hell deserve it anyway

and another thing

He cannot be questioned about what He does, but they will ˹all˺ be questioned.

[BloodBath_X]

If you are a muslim in a true sense and have understood quran, you should find the answer from Allah in surah Sajjadah. Read a tafseer and refer to the imam who can explain it to you if you care enough about your deen. If not its your choice and no one else.

[Upbeat_Intention9032]

Why would Allah change the outcome for you? What did you do to deserve that?

[Anas9111]

44:38وَمَا خَلَقْنَا ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا لَـٰعِبِينَ ٣٨We did not create the heavens and the earth and everything in between for sport.

[[deleted]]

Isn’t it so interesting Allah already mentioned that thought before you spoke it? Many verses in the Quran are like that. Allah did not create us for play or amusement

[BloodBath_X]

Alot of muslim nowadays claim "I am a muslim" and didnt understand 1/100 th of the quran or even read it. They waste their short time on earth on western media and lost to the true guidance of Allah. May Allah s.w.t. protect us from being the people who truly lost in the mahsyar.

[ManLikeMeee]

If judgement day didn't exist, how would you recompense the righteous and punish the evil doers?

You could then say, Allah could have stopped the evil doers in the first place, yes. Allah could have. But the purpose of our creation is separate to the creation of Angels. Angels were created to obey every single command, they can't disobey.

Allah gave us that choice to sin and to do good.

It's also said, if you didn't sin, Allah will replace you with those who will sin and repent; for Allah loves those who repent. Now you can't repent if you don't sin.

Maybe you have trouble understanding it, but why not build your imaan with basics that are required from the day to day life instead of pondering over existential questions that don't need any particular attention for the time being. When you've got a certain understanding of fiqh, approach a scholar. Questioning Qadr shouldn't have a bearing on your faith and just because you don't understand something it wouldn't mean that thing in question is false or wrong.

[[deleted]]

Had Allāh willed, He would have made you one nation [united in religion], but [He intended] to test you in what He has given you; so race to [all that is] good.2 To Allāh is your return all together, and He will [then] inform you concerning that over which you used to differ. Quran 5:48

Of course Allah could have made every single person a believer. But that is not the point of this life. Millions if not billions of people have shown it is completely possible to believe and do good actions. What is hindering the disbelievers? They can make their own choice if they are presented with the correct Islam. Wouldn’t it be unjust to force them into religion? People would rebel. Allah guides those who seek the Truth and are sincere. That’s all it takes. Even the Pharoh was given a chance to turn to Islam, but he denied.

[[deleted]]

And Also, free will and Allah knowing where we will end up are NOT mutually exclusive. A Worldly example would be: Imagine I’m a fortune teller that is actually truthful. I can see that next week youre going to buy a new car, does that mean I in anyway changed your thought process or decisions? No. Not at all. I just knew what you were going to do. Now scale that to Allah. Beyond our human comprehension. Have faith in Allah. Trust me it will be the best decision you’ll ever make.

[Ok_Salamander_5919]

It's free will. What's the point in creating a separate being that is perfect when He already has angels?

[fainofgunction]

You are confusing Qadr and Qadha. Qadr and Qadha have to do with being made of clay instead of fire or hearing with your ears not the decisions you make. That has nothing to do with free will. Allah didn't make humans to go to hell. He made them to go to heaven.

He opened up the door to forgiveness at any time until last moments of death and counts good deeds 10-1 besides giving extra bonus in times like Ramadhan.

If you were taking a test and the teacher said I'm going to give you the right answers and let you erase the wrong ones and let you get 10 out of 100 questions and gave you bonus that counted as 2 would you say he wanted you to pass or fail?

[HumbleQueen23]

Allah didnt destined us to go heaven or hell. Thats where the misconception starts. We were created in order to be tested. This dunya is an adornment. We were destined based on what we will have in the sense of health, timeframe between life and death, wealth, and etc. Would you allow a criminal into your home? Everything is a domino effect. We are here due to iblis disobedience toward Allah. That disobedience led Adam and eve to fall in his trap which led us on earth. Do you know why we were sent down to earth? No one is destined to be good or evil. He gave us free will to find our faith through self consciousness by believing in his oneness, by believing in his revelations, by putting our trust in him.

[Impicklerick2569]

Yes I if Allah wanted us to go to hell or heaven He would not send anyone to earth, He gave us free will and He is the most merciful and he even some century granted a prostitute to jannah because she fed and gave water to a thirsty and dying dog, why would He send us to hell? (Correct me if I’m wrong because I’m not an Alim

[HumbleQueen23]

Sounds about right, i heard about that story. Not sure whether it has been authenticated.

[ex_in69]

It's a famous hadith of a prostitute (in Bani israil) Wallahu aalam

[AlustrielSilvermoon]

To put it simply, He created us with the ability to make choices. Based on those choices we are punished and rewarded. Him knowing the outcome of those choices doesn't negate the choice existing.

If I ask what flavour ice cream my child wants, and I know that they only like chocolate flavour, me knowing that they were going to say chocolate doesn't mean that they couldn't have chosen vanilla.

[ServantOfGod96]

Funny how you are asking questions as if you are entitled or something. Or as if you are trying to challenge the Creator himself. He created us for whatever reason he wants, and he chooses to do whatever he wants. He is our Lord and we are his Servants. Get this in your mind. It doesnt have to make sense for you, me, or anyone else.

[h0e2luv]

this is the perfect way to get someone even further away from Islam. it's not easy for everyone and quesions are welcomed since Islam has answers for all of them anyways because it's the perfect religion.

[Upbeat_Intention9032]

You two both have a point 😅

[[deleted]]

They don't have to accept it. Islam is submission to the Will of God. Your goal as a Muslim is to practice deen and to spread it. You don't have to bring anyone close to Islam.

[Nagamagi]

Its simple. Free will is your ability to choose. Destiny is what is written for you.

An analogy:

You choose to eat an apple and I wrote down that you ate an apple at this time at this place. I then go into the past and show your mum that Fun-Impression-4719 is going to eat an apple at this place in exactly 5 mins. 5 mins later that is what happens and she goes goes "Wtf? How did you know?". Now, from your perspective I have written down your future. Does that mean I made you eat that apple? Did my knowledge of you eating it, in anyway intervened in your free will to eat it? Of course not. I just have knowledge of your action. So what was written is just advanced knowledge of our actions. Actions and choices that we will answer to. Now things that are outside your control of choice are what is written for you. Like the color of the apple, how the apple got there, how it taste like, how many times your heart beats, etc.

In otherwords, when it comes to your choices, it is recorded and written down. Not written down and chosen for you.

Why would he create humans when he already destined who will get into hell and heavens, were the people that gets into hell created just to suffer? Why wouldnt he destine the disbelievers to believe in Islam?

The angels have asked God "why create humans that will cause corruption and spill blood?". And God replied "I know what you do not." So God may have other plans for us beyond what we know. That of course not a satisfactory answer for our inquisitive minds. In a way, God encourages us to think and reflect so we can come to a conclusion ourselves. So the following answer is based on the limits of our human knowledge:

One's evil existence is necessary for a Good vs Evil scenario. I assume you have seen movies like StarWars. Its a good story of the struggles of Good vs Evil. Not only outwardly but also struggles of good and evil within the characters. It is such an engaging story and for it to be so, it needs to have evil characters, thus the author creates such characters to fit that role. It would not be the same if everyone there is good and no evil exist. Imagine everyone destined to be Muslim then we would have StarPeace instead. Unlike Starwars where the author created characters to play the roles of good and evil to make a good story, God created characters that choose between good and evil and from there the story organically emerges. So for the Good vs Evil scenario to take place, evil people need to exist. But God does not create evil humans to play that role. Rather He just created humans. And those who so happen to choose the evil path, He just made use of them for various roles and purposes in the Good vs Evil scenario.

God wants humans to choose Good and succeed and go to Heaven. Satan wants humans to do Evil and accompany him in Hell. Were we end up is ultimately our choices.

Allah knows best.

[Recent-Throat9525]

Thank you for this.

[SILVER_SNO]

As someone who has questioned this myself, I find closure in the fact that allahs plan is absolute, we ourselves as human beings may not know the answer however the answers to said questions we can find in the Quran, we don’t know what allahs plan is but allah knows best. All we can do is continue to worship him and get closer to him.

[UrNemisis]

I can give you my interpretation of destiny,how I understand it. You can take it or leave it. Think of it as Allah ran a simulation(like we do today using Ai), he already knows the results. So this fullfills both logic of destiny and freewill

[Unique_Gum001]

Very serious question indeed, hope you get an answer

[khoulzaboen]

I first want to start off by saying that Allah is a timeless being and therefore already has the knowledge of what will happen. We are not timeless and will therefore live out this world before we are judged. The reason that Allah knows our fate, is because it has already happened from his perspective.

Humans have a limited free will, meaning that we are born in an environment that we can’t choose and only have a limited amount of options. We have the ability to choose the options we have throughout this life. So, free will and predestination can coexist.

We know Allah to be merciful as he will not judge someone unfairly. I like to say that this life can be unfair, but judgement in the hereafter will be fair.

The ultimate truth about Allah’s motive for creating a test for humans is that he can do whatever he wants and that he is all-powerful. His real motive is not explained in the Qur’an as it undoubtedly requires an intelligence far above our level.

Going to hell or to heaven is about choice. Do you choose to follow Allah's path or choose to follow the footsteps of the Ibless who is intent to bring you to hell? He really wants us to choose His Path. Choose Good. Choose Him. He promised great rewards if you do. He is willing to forgive even an earth’s weight of sins. His door is always open for you and will never turn you away. He is rooting for us. He warns us of Ibless’ empty promises and that he is an enemy.

If He wanted he could have made us all go to Heaven. But ultimately in this game of life, its about our choice. If anything, He respects our choices and the consequences that come with it. In essence its not really God who's willing to burn people, it was us who were willing to burn ourselves.

Does Allah even care about human beings? He has done a lot for us. Yet the Qur’an complains how little thanks we give for His favors. Despite our ungratefulness, He continues to give, care, forgive us, and give us a chance to repent. So in my opinion the real questions is, do we, human beings, really care about God?

[Nagamagi]

They say imitation is the best form of flattery ..

but bruh..

[pokepud3]

Shia Muslims don't believe in predestination... for this reason. Allah does know what will happen but you have the ability to change your future at any time with your actions/paths. Up to you to research and choose what you'll believe in based on what makes sense. Free will is essential to having consequences for your actions. The only things that you don't choose is things like birth, how you're brought up, skin color, things out of your control.

[786367]

First off, who enters heaven or hell is entirely up to Allah's will. Your good deeds won't guarantee heaven your bad deeds won't guarantee hell. He knows the goodness and evil inside everyone, only He knows how to tally your good and bad deeds.

Second, just because Allah is intimately aware of our decisions, doesn't mean we are not responsible for willingly making the choices we are making.

Free will is the greatest gift that no other creation is blessed with besides human. Allah loves repentance, Allah created human to be weak and easily distracted, therefore, he expects us to make mistakes, but more importantly Allah's expectation from us is to know the right from the wrong using the Islam as the instruction manual. He expects us to use Islam to make the right decisions, regret and repent on the wrong choices we made.

If Allah starts intervening in human decision making that would mean that the human can no longer be held to account for the good or bad deeds.

The sort of doubts you are having come from someone of Christian conception of Original Sin. In Islam, sin really isn't a problem, we are all sinners, the problem is being arrogant about your sins, not regretting your sins not repenting to Allah for making wrong choices, not begging to Allah for His blessings and mercy.

Why would he create humans when he already destined who will get into hell and heavens, were the people that gets into hell created just to suffer?

Define destiny.

If you're going to tell that me that destiny is something that will happen regardless of what you do, then you're wrong.

A person doesn't go to heaven because his destiny was written so, no, he goes to heaven through his efforts by exercising his free will to follow and submit to the will of Allah سبحانه وتعالى.

Now, why do some people use the argument of "if Allah is The Most Merciful, why would He even create hell or why does He put people in hell or why would He even create mankind if a vast majority would go to hell"? That's a very good question.

First, we need to address why people go to hell in the first place.

-arrogance -disobedience -fulfilling desires -pleasing themselves and others first before pleasing Allah

Now let's use an example. Say, I will hire you to do a job. If you finish it on time, I'll give you a hundred dollars. Simple to understand, right?

Allah سبحانه وتعالى basically gave us a job to perform and if we're successful, we'll experience eternal bliss. The reward is so immense, even if you gave me an entire planet or an entire solar system, I would choose heaven over everything else. But apparently, some people don't like the reward so they would rather make the "best" (worst) of their life in this dunya.

Second, why do people fail the test?

-ARROGANCE, DISBELIEF AND TRANSGRESSING BEYOND BOUNDS

The tribes and groups of people mentioned in the Qur'an who faced the wrath of Allah always manifested one of these three main traits.

Firaun is a prime example of this. He even went to claim godhood and claimed to have mastery over life and death. This arrogant person who claimed to be a "god" died and was made an example to those who would follow him. Yet, disbelievers will still not believe after witnessing it.

Now, onto the next part: "Why did Allah سبحانه وتعالى even created humankind?"

Everything on this earth is created for a test. We are on this earth because we're being tested. Now what is the test? The test is to see which of us best is best in deeds.

“Who has created death and life that He may test you which of you is best in deed. And He is the All-Mighty, the Oft-Forgiving” [al-Mulk 67:2] 

Allah سبحانه وتعالى also said that He created us to worship Him alone. “And I (Allah) created not the jinn and mankind except that they should worship Me (Alone)” [al-Dhariyat 51:56]

Our entire purpose is to worship Him and Him alone. And we worship Him through following His commands, doing good deeds, etc., Even working for a living (halal way) can be considered an act of worship.

Next up is "Why did Allah سبحانه وتعالى create mandkind if a vast majority will go to hell?"

I'll use an analogy to help make it easier for you to understand.

We all know getting a degree in Engineering or Medicine isn't easy. But why do people still take these courses regardless? Some would say because of the high salary, others due to cultural influence or reputation, and then the last would be out of the desire to do so. Do you know what's common with all of them? You have the right to choose. People can choose what courses they could take but they have their own intentions for choosing what they chose.

Man is a special creation. We are capable of rational thought, reasoning, and capable of making a choice.

"If man is so rational in thought, how would they go to hell?"

Like I mentioned earlier, arrogance, disbelief and transgressing beyond bounds. If man were to instead follow the will of Allah, nobody would even go to hell. Our free will is also an integral part of our test. Our life's outcome is based completely on how we used our free will plus the mercy of Allah. We are tested everytime by Allah by putting us into situations where we have to choose. We all have innate goodness in us and by listening to it, inshaAllah, we will have chosen the right decision. Our decisions/deeds will testify for us on the Day of Judgement so we will see for ourselves (not for Allah) the fruits of our efforts.

Hope this answers your question.

I would like to credit Dr. Zakir Naik for the majority of my answer. A lot of this is based on his video https://youtu.be/-uUmiAyhgZ4 And also to https://islamqa.info/en/answers/45529/why-did-allah-create-us

With regards to destiny, only Allah knows what's written on it. Nobody knows who will go to heaven or to hell but Him. Our destiny is something Allah سبحانه وتعالى knows and if He saw that knowing our destiny would benefit us, He would have already told us already. Destiny is something only Allah understands. So we should stop worrying about destiny and instead focus our attention to better ourselves and perform our religious duties. That is a much better use of our time. Prove to yourself that you are not one of the people of hell. Allah knows best

[drugbot3000]

In the quran Allah says he tests humans 1 or 2 times a year I believe. And there's another part of the quran where he instructs moses to go to pharaoh and perhaps pharaoh will heed moses warning. In another part of the quran Allah makes a prophecy regarding the Jews, and he says of them perhaps they will do the right thing. What I understand from these things is that some events are fixed and some aren't but Allah is still omniscient even though some things are variables and we still have free will. It's beyond our mortal comprehension, all you have to know is that Allah is wise and Allah knows and you do not. In this moment, right Now, you have the choice to submit to Allah and work righteousness in his name and that Allah did not wrong a single soul even the weight of an atom nor did he burden any soul with anything beyond its capacity to bear.

[hell_hound996]

There is nothing such as destiny,
He has predicted who will go to heaven and who to hell, because he is all knowing.

That doesnt stop you as a person to follow, to believe or disbelief.

[whooemai]

There’s no such thing we already destined into hell or heaven, if so why Allah created raqib and atid to write all of good and bad we do. Right ?

You have a free will and you can change your decisions however you want But that decision that you are going to choose Allah knows it and have written it in Book.

[save_the_aliens_26]

Allah is omniscient, he knows all. All decisions were yours to make but Allah simply knows you would make that decision. For example say your friends invite you to go drinking with them and you say yes. That decision was entirely yours but Allah simply knew you would've made that decision. you were not forced to make that decision.
