The most secure and the best way to establish the authenticity of any Islamic doctrine, is to consult the true source, the Qur’an, the pious elders, that is the Companions of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and their followers. Same course is adopted with regards to the doctrine of Predestination and Destiny.

The Holy Qur’an refers to destiny and divine will in several verses in different chapters, some of which are quoted below:

a)   “For, no single thing exists that does not have its source with Us; and naught do We bestow from on high unless it be in accordance with a measure well-defined.”(Qur’an;15:21).

b)   “Verily, all things have We created in proportion and measures. (Qur’an;54:49)

c)   “…and bestowed blessings on the earth, and measured therein all things to give them nourishment in due proportion. (Qur’an;41:10).

d)   “ And the moon We have measured for her mansions to traverse…”(Qur’an;36:39)

e)   “It is He who created all things, and ordered them in due proportions”(Qur’an;25:2).

f)    “Every single thing is before His sight, in (due) proportions”(Qur’an;13:8).

It is clear from the meanings of verses that ‘Predestination’ means those decrees and rules which Allah determined for this universe and it is that discipline under which the whole system runs. It is those natural and physical laws which govern everything. In other words, whatever has been created has some define and specific magnitude and in well defined proportions. For this reason everything that is found here was pre-determined before its existence. The number of atoms in them and the quantity and nature of elements that compose it was determined beforehand. It was also “decided” what new thing will be crated if one element combines with the other, and what will happen if they separate or disintegrate. The statics and dynamics of all things were also determined before their creation.
