Brief Explanation
Explanation:
① Predestination (qadar) is true.
② Everything, before its existence, is within the knowledge and will (mashi’ah) of its Creator, Allah, the Exalted.
③ Every creature attains only that which is written in its predestination (qadar).
④ None among the noble Companions (radi Allahu anhum) denied predestination.
⑤ By humility is meant worldly humility, or according to some: disobedience; and by wisdom is meant worldly wisdom or obedience to Allah and His Messenger (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam). And Allah knows best.
⑥ Sayyiduna Abdullah ibn Abbas (radi Allahu anhuma) said: “Humility and wisdom are from predestination (qadar).” (Kitab al-Qadr by Imam Ja’far ibn Muhammad al-Firyabi: 304, and its chain is authentic)
⑦ Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal (rahimahullah) held the belief that the funeral prayer should not be performed for one who denies predestination, nor should prayer be performed behind him. (See Kitab al-Sunnah by al-Khallal: 948, and its chain is authentic)
⑧ Mawlana Muhammad Yahya Gondalwi (rahimahullah) says:
“Belief in predestination (qadar) is an individual obligation (fard ‘ayn); its denier is an innovator (mubtadi‘), and in some cases even exits the fold of Islam, because the Shari‘ah has made belief in predestination obligatory. Therefore, its denial amounts to denial of this aspect of the Shari‘ah.”

Meaning of Qadar:
The meaning of qadar is the determination or setting of limits for a thing. In the legal (shar‘i) terminology, it means that Allah, the Exalted, wrote everything in the Mother of the Book (Umm al-Kitab), the Preserved Tablet (al-Lawh al-Mahfuz), fifty thousand years before creating it. His knowledge encompasses things before they come into existence; nothing, whether before or after its existence, is outside His knowledge. He alone has set every matter in the universe within its boundaries and principles. There is nothing which Allah, the Exalted, did not record and write before its creation and origination.” (Aqidah Ahl al-Hadith: p. 323). (Al-Ithaf al-Basim, p. 280).
