What is Taqdeer (Predestination)?

Question

What is Taqdeer (Predestination)? Please explain this concept.

Answer

Taqdeer is an inexplicable concept. The more one probes it the more intricate and mystifying it becomes. Our minds are created, hence our understanding is finite and extremely limited. It is not possible for a created mind with finite understanding to comprehend the Attributes and Decrees of Allah Ta'ala. Allah Azza Wa Jal is the Eternal Uncreated Being. How can a created entity ever encompass the Issues of This Being? That is why our Nabi (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) forbade the Sahaabah from discussing the Mas'alah of Qadr. He displayed extreme Wrath when the Sahaabah had attempted to probe the Qadr of Allah Ta'ala.
