About This Book
This short book by Shaykh Muhammad bin Salih al-Uthaymeen, a well-known scholar of Saudi Arabia, deals with Qadar: divine decree and foreordainment. The topic has been a point of dispute within the Muslim community from early times to the present.
The book recalls the report that the Prophet (peace be upon him) came upon his companions arguing about Qadar, forbade them from it, and warned that such disputing had ruined earlier nations. It then describes how the pious predecessors took a balanced path in what they believed and said on the matter, and presents Allah's decree as part of His Lordship over His creation, linking it to the three categories of Tawhid set out by scholars.
