God'S Omniscience And Free Will
god exists beyond time so he perceives all outcomes of our actions simultaneously. this doesnt mean he forces us into one path it simply means he knows all possible paths and sees the1 we will choose. iys true that our choices are limited by our circumstances like a handicapped person might not be able to bring a bottle but within our realm of capability we still exercise free will. free will doesnt mean the ability to do the impossible (like becoming an angel), but rather the freedom to choose among the possibilities available to us. as for abu lahab its not that he couldnt accept islam its that god knowing all time knew he wouldnt the fact that god declared his fate doesnt negate his free will it reflects divine foreknowledge not compulsion. js as a teacher might know a student will fail bc of their consistent choices that doesnt mean the student wasnt free to study harder and pass. gods knowledge of the future doesnt restrict our choices it js means he knows how we will use the free will we have been given.
