Does man has freedom of choice or is he following a course set by Allaah?.
Praise be to Allaah.
Shaykh Ibn 'Uthaymeen was asked this question and said: The questioner
should ask himself whether anyone forced him to ask this question, and
does he choose the kind of car that he drives? And other such
questions. Then the answer as to whether he is following a course set
by Allaah or has freedom of choice will become clear to him.
Then he should ask himself whether accidents happen to him by his
choice? Or whether he falls sick by his choice? Or will he die by his
choice?
And other similar questions. Then the answer as to whether he is
following a course set by Allaah or has freedom of choice will become
clear to him.
The answer is that the things that the wise person does, he
undoubtedly does by his choice. Listen to the words of Allaah
(interpretation of the meaning):
"So, whosoever wills, let him seek a place with (or a way to) His Lord
(by obeying Him in this worldly life)!"
[al-Naba' 78:39]
"Among you are some that desire this world and some that desire the Hereafter"
[Aal 'Imraan 3:152]
"And whoever desires the Hereafter and strives for it, with the
necessary effort due for it (i.e. does righteous deeds of Allaah's
obedience) while he is a believer (in the Oneness of Allaah—Islamic
Monotheism) — then such are the ones whose striving shall be
appreciated, (thanked and rewarded by Allaah)"
[al-Isra' 17:19]
"he must pay a Fidyah (ransom) of either observing Sawm (fasts) (three
days) or giving Sadaqah (charity — feeding six poor persons) or
offering sacrifice (one sheep)"
[al-Baqarah 2:196]
But if a person wants to do something and he does it, we know that
Allaah has willed it. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
"To whomsoever among you who wills to walk straight.
And you cannot will unless (it be) that Allaah wills— the Lord of the
'Aalameen (mankind, jinn and all that exists)"
[al-Takweer 81:28-29]
Because His Lordship (ruboobiyyah) is complete and perfect, nothing
can happen in the heavens or on earth except by His will.
With regard to things that happen to a person or that he does without
choosing or willing them, such as sickness, death and accidents, they
are purely divine will (al-qadar) and the person has no choice or will
with regard to them.
And Allaah is the Source of strength.

*- WHAT ISLAM SAYS -*
-
Islam is a religion of Mercy, Peace and Blessing. Its teachings emphasize kind hear tedness, help, sympathy, forgiveness, sacrifice, love and care.Qur’an, the Shari’ah and the life of our beloved Prophet (SAW) mirrors this attribute, and it should be reflected in the conduct of a Momin.Islam appreciates those who are kind to their fellow being,and dislikes them who are hard hearted, curt, and hypocrite.Recall that historical moment, when Prophet (SAW) entered Makkah as a conqueror. There was before him a multitude of surrendered enemies, former oppressors and persecutors, who had evicted the Muslims from their homes, deprived them of their belongings, humiliated and intimidated Prophet (SAW) hatched schemes for his murder and tortured and killed his companions. But Prophet (SAW) displayed his usual magnanimity, generosity, and kind heartedness by forgiving all of them and declaring general amnesty...Subhanallah. May Allah help us tailor our life according to the teachings of Islam. (Aameen)./-
