Yes absolutely. From a high level that’s the entire message of religion. We have been sent to this world for a test. Depending upon our behavior in this world we shall be granted either paradise or hell.
There might be some truth to it, but from experience I don’t find many Muslims think like that. Especially those who are educated, know very well that in this life success doesn’t come without struggle. The downfall of Muslims is a complex issue with many factors, and I don’t believe that reliance on pre-destination played any significant role in it. The concept of determinism or lack of free will is also not an exclusively Muslim concept. This is an age old philosophical idea that spans many people across the globe regardless of their religion. In fact many of the scientists and philosophers in today’s world, some of them even being atheists, wrongly believe in determinism. In general, they claim that since this universe functions on the principle of causality and since human beings are a part of this universe, therefore human beings lack free will. Many of today’s popular physicalists use science to claim that that human beings lack consciousness and free will and that they’re simply robots who are slave to biochemical reactions within their bodies.
