Salam to everyone, I'd like to share my ideas of predestination and its full extent and how it reconciles with the responsibility of human actions as I understood it studying Islam. Correct please parts where mistakes ideologically speaking may occur, even citing resources where possible. So, our world it's pretty basically the constant interweaving of our subjective free will and what actually must happen since it was already decreed by Allah, whereas His judgement and His final decision to send people in Hell or Heaven is based on the first rather than the course of events and the actions of someone that He decided would have happened. That said, we nonetheless assume that what we do, or what happens, is the consequence of what we or others, except Allah, willed to do, maybe it's because we like to feel safe knowing that we can control anything of our lives, getting to the point where we decide that we are to blame for our very actions. But what if it's all apparent? What if we are to blame not for our actions but for what our free will wanted that situation to be happening, hence shifting the common thought of the judgement of Allah based on our action rather to a judgement of what was within our hearts during that specific moment? Let's imagine a person who's hungry, and decides to go into a random restaurant/bar, he orders some food and starts to eat. I believe that that specific restaurant/bar was meant to be the place where he had to eat, same goes with the food and drink he ordered, the rythm of his digestive juices breaking macromolecules into monomers, the scarce brightness of the lamps, the music playing on the radio, the light rain ticking on the window, and the girl he meets there after a while. As time passes they get to know each other and end up in a romantic relationship. Were they meant to be in the same places one near the other in the following days of that lunch, as they measured from their free wills, their free hearts and free minds, the words they said to each other? Was he meant by Allah to forge a family and have kids with that specific woman later on as happened? Let's say they make love to each other, as they are meant to, on a specific date (mm/dd/yyyy). I believe the judgement of Allah and wether He will consider that specific action to be "zina" or not will be based on the free words "I do", they could or could not have said before that specific event took place.
