Responsibility

Belief in Qada’ & Qadar: Understanding The Concept

taufiq07@hotmail.com

Responsibility: the exercise of free-choice, whether to follow Allah’s commands or go against it, which is the basis of accountability in the Hereafter.

If you are compelled to do something without a choice: you are therefore not responsible nor accountable in that case. Compulsion removes accountability.

o How do we make these choices then?

o By following the Guidance that comes from Allah through His revelation and Prophets.

o Once received, inaction leads to accountability.

o What are the things we have choice and what areas we don’t?
