QUESTION - Regarding Qadr (destiny):
As a Muslim we must believe in the Qadar of Allah. This is a requirement for Paradise, right?
There is a problem with this from my point of view and I don’t know how to deal with this. This has me depressed so much, I lost my job, I’m loosing sleep and I really don’t know what to do.

Let me explain as best I can, inshallah. I saw many videos online about Allah’s Qadr or “Predestination”.
Everything is already Planned out by Allah. So we are only going through the motions, like robots.
What if someone is going for salat every day, five times a day? Allah wrote it for him, right?
Or if someone doesn’t do his salat. Is it really his fault? Should get blamed for it?
If someone doesn’t do their salat, that is already written by Allah. Right? So is it his fault?

Islam says if all of the jinn and mankind came together to help me, but Allah didn’t Will for it to happen, then they cannot help me. And if all the jinn and mankind came together to hurt me, they couldn’t, if Allah Willed for that.
One narration of our prophet, peace be upon him, tells us:
Someone will go through the whole life doing good deeds of people of Paradise. As he comes to the end of his life, he will be so close to the Paradise, only an arm’s length away from it. But then he does the bad deeds of the people of Hell-Fire and as a result he goes into the Hell-Fire.

And another person goes through the whole life doing bad deeds of the people of the Hell-Fire, but then just before he dies, he does the good deeds of the people of Paradise and as a result he enters it.
How is this? If a person worshipped Almighty Allah for 70 years, but one month before he dies, he stops worshipping Allah and prays to the moon or the sun and drinks alcohol and eats pork. He dies and goes to Hell-Fire?
Our sheikh tells us, “Any good is from Allah. Any mistakes are from us.”
If I make a mistake and my career is destroyed, people will say it’s my own fault. But if my career is successful you are supposed to say, “It’s all from Allah”.
Any good or any bad comes to us only because of Allah’s Qadr. When He orders anything it will happen. in Quran, Allah just says; “Qun!” Faya qun” (BE! And it is!).
So, our minds and hearts are already set-up to win or fail? Are we like pawns on a chessboard, or robots on assembly lines?

Allahu 'Alim. Allah is the All-Knowing! Thank you for a well explained question. Actually, many people today have doubts about the "fate" or "qadar" of Allah. However, it is not that complicated to understand, inshallah.

First of all, let’s look to the Arabic language to be sure we are all talking about the same thing.
TAKDIR and IKHTIAR are often referred to as “The Problem of Human Destiny”.
Most Muslims view human destiny, good or bad, desirable or undesirable, as essentially determined by Allah. But in more popular terms both Qadir and Qadar are referred to by a single term Takdir (Divine Decree or Predestination).

Allah has everything already laid out and planned exactly like He "wills" for it to be.
He has "Will Power" - We don't.
He has "Will Power" - We don't.
We all have "choices" that we make everyday. Our intentions or choices are called “niyyah”.
Niyyah (Arabic: نِيَّةٌ, often transliterated as niyya [ˈnij. jah], "intention") Concept of, “the intention in one's heart to do any deed or action to please Almighty Allah (God).”
Our prophet, peace be upon him, said: "Verily actions are by intentions, and for every person is what he intended. So the one whose hijrah was to Allah and His Messenger, then his hijrah was to Allah and His Messenger. And the one whose hijrah was for the world to gain from it, or a woman to marry her, then his hijrah was to what he made hijrah for."
You are not responsible for anything other than what your intentions are. You try to do the best job, say the right thing or build something good. That is your choice, or niyyah.
He already Knows the choices we will make. He does Know exactly what we will do and what we won't do and what we'll try to do and what we will try not to do.
- Is it fair? Yes! Why? He already Knows what is going to happen, so is it fair?
- Is it fair? Yes! Why? He already Knows what is going to happen, so is it fair?
YES. He does Know . . but we DON'T.
Allah is not testing Himself. We are not testing Allah.
This is our test. So on the Day of Judgment we understand what we did and why we will be punished, or forgiven, by Allah. Simple as that.
Let this sink in and ask Allah to give you safety, security and peace in your heart.
