Islam, Freewill And Neuroscience
This idea—that humans lack free will—is a theory, not a scientifically established fact. Science does not address the existence of free will; it only explains how thoughts and mental processes arise. It’s often popular science or pseudoscience that makes sweeping claims by constructing speculative narratives. Rigorous science doesn’t make such assertions because the question of free will lies outside its scope. If free will truly did not exist, then no one could be blamed for wrongdoing. You would have no grounds to object to someone harming you, and courts would have no reason to issue sentences or punishments, since offenders would not be acting out of their own free choice.
