Belief in the General Resurrection

The Arab word for fate or destiny is Kadar. A full understanding of the meaning of Kadar is not easily attained. While it is true that all is known to an omniscient God and all that happens is in accordance with God's will, this does not mean that the moral choices made by an individual are not real choices. The choice for the individual remains real, even though the choice the individual makes is known to God before the choice is made.

The true nature of Kadar is complex and can seem paradoxical but acceptance of fate or destiny (whether good or bad) is an essential element in achieving the prime requirement of Islam - submission to the will of God.
