THE MEANING OF IMAAN BIL-QADR

Belief in Qadr means to believe that whatever happened, happens or will happen (be it good or bad) is with the Command, Will and Knowledge of Allah . The entire scheme and operation of entire creation is in accordance with His, Will and Command.

The greater the Yaqeen in this belief in the nature stated above, the greater will be man's submission to Allah and the greater will be his reliance on Allah while at the same time his hope and reliance on material agencies will be negated, i.e. he will not cherish any hope on anyone or anything besides Allah .

This, then, is the meaning of belief in Qadr. This is the belief of the Ahl-Sunnah Wal Jammat – the belief of Rasoolullah (SAW). Denial of this belief in Qadr is kufr.

In obedience to the order of Rasoolullah (SAW) we shall end the discussion on this belief. What has been stated above is sufficient for the understanding of the Mu'min and absolutely necessary for the validity of Imaan .
