According to the doctrine of qadr قدر everything that will ever happen has been envisioned by Allah and "written" in his book. This includes the fate of individual people in heaven or in hell. The Qur'an is actually quite explicit that Allah guides those he favors to heaven and belief and those he despises to unbelief and hell. The fate of individuals, therefore, is ultimately not in their hands but in Allah's, whose hands are not "chained" or restricted in any way; thus anything that Allah wills will come to pass, and only he knows what this fate is. | According to the doctrine of qadr قدر everything that will ever happen has been envisioned by Allah and "written" in his book.

{{Quote|Tabari I:306| | |There are people who consider From the Creation to the Flood predestination untrue? He said: (Then), they consider the Book of God untrue! I shall seize one of them by the hair and shake him up. God was on His Throne before He created anything. The first (thing) created by God was the Pen. It proceeded to (write) whatever is going to be to the Day of Resurrection . People will proceed merely in accordance with what is a foregone conclusion (decided by predestination and written down by the Pen). }} | ||
