5 Benefits of Believing in Qadr
Bismillah
1- Perfection of Allah’s Names and Attributes. By believing in Qadr, you affirm that Allah ta’ala is Most Wise, All Knowing and Perfect in Ability.
2- Affirm your own humility because you know that all good is from Allah, and not from yourself.
3- It is a consolation at times of hardship
4-Can always look at the good side of every situation. The believer in qadr is an optimist, they are not a pessimist. They are the winner because Allah is their Rabb, they know that He loves you more than your own mother, that He has created you and knows you more than you know yourself.
5-You accept the past, are patient with the present and optimistic with the future. The Muslim is always comes out of every situation with good.
Expect the best from Allah and know that He loves you more than anyone.

Good post. Thank you.
There is this dangerous misconception regarding Qadar that has spread among some people. They think that all of their lives have been written for them, that good and bad people are born as good and bad and that they have no choice in the matter.
This is in direct contradiction with the Quran. Allah rewards and punishes OUR actions. What kind of silly circus would life be if everything was already written for us? The Quran goes to great lengths to demonstrate our difference from other creations. We aren’t programmed to only obey (like angels) or disobey. We have been given free choice.
Qadar are things that happen to us which we have no control over. Like earthquakes, accidents and losses. HOWEVER, we are free how we respond to these, whether we stay with Allah AW or we reject Him. And this is the basis of the Quran’s reward and punishment system.
Muhammad Al-Ghazzali makes this simple analogy for Qadar: “We are in a ship (life) that is controlled by the sea and its waves (Qadar). But we are free in how we behave inside the ship and how we respond to the constant changes.”
Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuh,
A beneficial reminder. May Allaah reward you immensely.
Assalaamu alaykum
