If you wish to know how these acts which are carried out by His slaves form part of the fate and how they include the Will of Allaah, then the answer is that these acts that take place by the slaves whether good or bad come into being by their power and freedom which everyone admits.  Now the question is who created their power, intention and will?  The answer is: The One Whom everyone accepts, that is Allaah.  He created the power and the intention.  One who created that thing, which carried out the acts, He has created the acts also.  This removes the ambiguity and it becomes possible for the slave to understand deeply the intergration of fate, decision and power.  Along with this Allaah has bestowed upon the believers the resources, the means and various favours and rewards and removed the obstacles as the Prophet Õá Çááå Úáíå æ Óáã has said:      quote: "Whoever is from amongst the blessed, he is provided with      facilities for doing the work of the blessed."  (al-Bukhari)

Allaah created all creation, all that they possess of attributes and all their actions, but they have a will of their own and they act accordingly.  The 'servant' is the believer, the disbeliever, the pious, the sinner, the worshipper and the fasting person.  The servants have ability to fulfil their actions and they have a will, but Allaah created them and their ability and will... Disbelievers use al-Qadar as an Excuse Polytheists have tried to use al-Qadar of Allaah, and His Will as an excuse for their disbelief.  They claimed that if Allaah has not Willed for them polytheism, they would not commit it.  However, Allaah has invalidated their excuse by saying:   Al-An'am (6):148-149 ÓóíóÞõæáõ ÇáøóÐöíäó ÃóÔúÑóßõæÇú áóæú ÔóÇÁ Çááøåõ ãóÇ ÃóÔúÑóßúäóÇ æóáÇó ÂÈóÇÄõäóÇ æóáÇó ÍóÑøóãúäóÇ ãöä ÔóíúÁò ßóÐóáößó ßóÐøóÈó ÇáøóÐöíäó ãöä ÞóÈúáöåöã ÍóÊøóì ÐóÇÞõæÇú ÈóÃúÓóäóÇ Þõáú åóáú ÚöäÏóßõã ãøöäú Úöáúãò ÝóÊõÎúÑöÌõæåõ áóäóÇ Åöä ÊóÊøóÈöÚõæäó ÅöáÇøó ÇáÙøóäøó æóÅöäú ÃóäÊõãú ÅóáÇøó ÊóÎúÑõÕõæäó  ¤  Þõáú Ýóáöáøåö ÇáúÍõÌøóÉõ ÇáúÈóÇáöÛóÉõ Ýóáóæú ÔóÇÁ áóåóÏóÇßõãú ÃóÌúãóÚöíäó  ¤  Those who took partners (in worship) with Allâh will say: "If Allâh had willed, we would not have taken partners (in worship) with Him, nor would our fathers, and we would not have forbidden anything (against His Will)." Likewise belied those who were before them, (they argued falsely with Allâh's Messengers), till they tasted of Our Wrath. Say: "Have you any knowledge (proof) that you can produce before us? Verily, you follow nothing but guess and you do nothing but lie." Say: "With Allâh is the perfect proof and argument, (i.e. the Oneness of Allâh, the sending of His Messengers and His Holy Books, etc. to mankind), had He so willed, He would indeed have guided you all." This is the reply of Allaah to anyone who argues about His Qadar in disobeying Him, and with Allaah is the perfect proof and argument.
