Al insan wal qadr
“Al-Insān wal-Qadr” by Ayatollah Shaheed Murtaza Mutahhari examines the intricate relationship between human free will (ikhtiyar) and divine destiny (qadr). The book addresses the long-standing theological question of whether humans act freely or are bound by divine decree. Mutahhari explains that Islam strikes a balance between absolute predestination and total free will — humans act within the framework of divine laws while retaining moral responsibility. Drawing from Qur’anic verses, philosophical reasoning, and hadith, he clarifies the harmony between divine knowledge and human choice. The work encourages reflection on accountability, justice, and the moral purpose behind human existence.
