The Difference Between Qada' and Qadar and the Ruling on Believing in Them
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Abu Muhammad asks in his letter, saying: What is the difference between qada' and qadar? Are they the same meaning? And what is the ruling regarding the obligation of believing in qada' and qadar?
Answer:
May Allah reward you. Qada' and qadar have the same meaning, but qada' may be broader than qadar. Qadar is the estimation of affairs: first, knowing them, then writing them in the Preserved Tablet, then willing them, then creating and bringing them into existence. Qada' is also like that, and it also means the judgment between people on the Day of Resurrection,[Yunus 10:93].
