Surah An-Nisaa: The Women - Verse 39 - God's Will vs Your Choices

About this episode

The episode explores the relationship between divine decree and human free will as discussed in the Qur'an.

Every decision you've ever made, was it really yours? Or was it destined long before you were born? Is it divine decree or your free will? Questions almost everyone has wondered about. If God controls everything, how can we be responsible for our actions? And if we have free will, how does that fit with destiny? In today's tafsir, we will answer these heavy questions in a simple, clear way, examining what the Qur'an says about choice, fate, and our role in life. Let's begin.
