Basics of belief in al-Qadar Belief in al-qadar is based on four things: Knowledge, i.e., that Allah knows what His creation will do, by virtue of His eternal knowledge. Writing, i.e., that Allah has written the destiny of all creatures in al-Lawh al-Mahfuz. Will, i.e., that what Allah wills happens and what He does not will does not happen. There is no movement in the heavens or on earth but it happens by His will. Creation and formation, i.e., that Allah is the Creator of all things, including the actions of His slaves. They do their actions in a real sense, and He is the Creator of them and of their actions. Whoever believes in these four believes in al-qadar.
