Choosing Of Spouse – Free Will Or Fate (Taqdeer)?
Brother Shaheen. I am not a scholar, but I just study and think about these questions.If we refer to the Quran, we know the following. 1. Humans have been given free will. 2. But nothing can happen without Allah’s will. 3. Allah guides those who are righteous and seek truth and guidance. 4. Humans have been sent to this world for a test to follow Allah’s guidance; guidance, which is sent through prophets. 5. Allah knew everything about every human even before he created them. 6. Allah puts humans through various tests and trials by exposing them to various situations and circumstances. From the above, you can infer how much control we have in the selection of our spouse.
