Qadar
"Qadar means the occurrence of events in the way determined by Allah."
Spiritual & Deep Meaning
In Islam, qadar is defined as the manifestation of the destiny determined by Allah in everyday life. Qadar is considered the organized form of destiny over beings. This means that every action and event of a person occurs within a predetermined plan. In Sufism, qadar is evaluated as events that are beyond a person's will, and therefore, it is advised to accept them with contentment rather than resisting against them. The concepts of qadar and destiny are often complementary to each other. Many Islamic scholars have emphasized that qadar and destiny are important for humanity and that a deep understanding of these concepts should be developed. In this context, it is emphasized that everything a person encounters in life should be evaluated as a test and a lesson.
