Iqaddar

Iqaddar (Arabic: اقدر) is an Arabic word derived from the root q-d-r (قدر), which broadly relates to concepts of measuring, determining, decreeing, and power. In Islamic theology, Iqaddar refers to divine decree, predestination, or the power of Allah to determine and control events. It is often used in discussions surrounding free will, destiny, and the extent of God's knowledge and control over the universe. The concept of Iqaddar is a complex theological topic with varying interpretations among different Islamic schools of thought. Some interpretations emphasize Allah's comprehensive knowledge and pre-ordained plan, while others stress the importance of human agency and accountability within the framework of divine decree.
