    No predestination, that is right. It would be silly to run a test knowing the results already. If Rabb knew the answer already Rabb could proceed with judgment already skipping the test.

    for God its necessary to now what will happen in future... thats what the reason tell us to beleive about the qualities of God...

    about other logics there is no link of future knowledge with the test.. God knows it but creation select a game for them, despite knowing it would not be easy task.. the acts of creation is already in the supervision of God ..

    you will always get confuse if you apply the same law on humans and God...

    Human is unnaware of future= future not in hand
    God is unaware of Future = God is not real... God must know the future otherwise he is not God..

    if God skip the test its mean God did not judge people mean God is unfair , the people who are in paradise have no objection with this decision but the people are in hell would defintely ask from God for what you put us there even we were not being tested, give us a chance.. is this the justice you are suggesting my brother..

    your logics are sound but reasoning is not sound... make a logic that really works my brother,, presenting theory or theories are not difficult but to prove them is real task...

        brother , again wrong approach,, with respect to human ur statement is sound.. and logical.. thats what intelligence tell us to reason..

        but what do you think about God is future is also unseen by God, if you claim its also unseen by God then things will crumble with eachother...

        anyway God predicted things in book how come they exactly happen the way God told us...

        I agree with MoF.
        Only the now exists.
        The past is not there anymore and the future is not created yet.

        God does not predict but God "writes" what will happen, it's not a prediction but a kitaab.

          i partly agree with him according to human approach, what i m concerned about is, God also unaware about future.. dnt he know what is before us and what will after us...

          God knows what happen to them in this world and what will happen to them hereafter 2 255

            Interesting, so as far as you are concerned there is only the linear
            explanation of events hmm.......maybe

              Peace Man Of Faith, Bender,All.

              I am back from my few days holiday with my 2 year old grandson . ( That was created few months ago when we planned and booked,hoping God willing it will happen).
              By the way ,we had a brilliant time digging /building on the sand, hours and hours of fun was had by the toddler and the old man! The weather was sunny and warm in the north east of England Scarborough. Our small share of "heatwave" this year!!!!
              Thanks to GOD for providing that break in the weather for us.

              Any way,Man of faith ,for example the rain we have in England comes mainly from the Atlantic, we can say it was created few days before that as a storm . A future that was created in the past?

              Just another line of thought to ponder.
              GOD bless.
              Peace.

                I think He knows for sure what He has predetermined.
                I think 230 is a nice example of a future event, at that moment there was no bachar, but He "wrote" that there will be a bachar on earth.
                And 2052 is a nice example of a past event, it does not say that the past is there in creation but that the past is in Allahs 3ilm in kitaab and not in creation.

                So because of this I think we will never see a time machine.

                I am not sure if I understood your question correctly can you rephrase it please? and btw this is of course only my philosophy (what makes sense to me).
                I think creation is not cumulative, if that is what you meant.

                  According to one theory which is the most pervasive today is
                  that the modern western mind views time as linear with a
                  beginning and end. Things happen in a line from past to present
                  to future, that is what is deemed linear. There is also the Semitic
                  and eastern idea that time is circular and that time goes around
                  like a clock, no beginning and no end continuously. My personal
                  view is that time depends on the observer and in some cases the
                  past, present, and future can be seen simultaneously or each separately.

                    on other words he already know what will happen, its human who do prediction... but God already know the future...

                            No no, this is not the wrong approach. It is perfectly sound also in the perception of God. God uses logic and also humans can use logic.

                            The truth is like this; there is no fully created future yet i.e. the timeline can be affected, but elevated beings can determine future events and there has been determination of future events thousands of years earlier which come true today. Still, the events have not taken place yet even if many things are set out already in the past.

                            See it like this; let us say I am an influential person through my ascended spirit and I determine it to be a good weather today and then the weather becomes great in a short while. When I determined that it would be a good weather then when it became good weather was in the future, so this is the predestination you are referring to.

                            There is only as much predestination as there are decided events for it. This is because managers (angels) have decided the future ahead of their happening.

                            However, interaction in the world and whatever you do as a spirit seed in the world is not predestined as long as you are not following the world's innate "programming" (the instinct). The instinct is a predestination per reasoning, but it is not the right way. When you are in control over the bodily (mind over matter) then you have gone against the predestination which was made in order to be corrupting and consume those who accept the predestination.

                            When you rebel against the instinct you instead have found a "secret" destination, but the path towards it happens through your spiritual superiority. This is when your true person/soul starts to develop, when you deny the bodily predestination. You refuse to give in to its instinctive driving and that causes the chain it has on you to release and under those circumstances it can more easily develop/grow. Its parable is like comparing it to a plant in the soil which will grow much better if you remove the thistles around it.

                            Be well

                              peace brother, make long story short..by just one simple question.

                              is the future or coming events are not in the knowledge of God?

                              let say i create a movie and when i finish creating it.. i can see the past present and future anytime between the movie , and what i know is exactly 100% correct..

                              God create all this not in mare play so do we usse same logic to God is it fair? God logic/knowledge/awareness how somebody can know.?

                                Peace All,

                                Q1311 - For him successive from between and behind him who guard him by the decree of ALLAH. Indeed, ALLAH will not change the condition of a people until they change what is in themselves. And when ALLAH intends for a people ill, there is no repelling it. And there is not for them besides HIM any patron.

                                We are all being protected and it is up to us to make ourselves better.

                                peace

                                  The future is planned ahead in partiality, certain events are determined while others are not. God does not know whether you will succeed or not because that is the trial in the first place, it is a real challenge and not a voodoo doll scene. But if it was predetermined that the world would end in a certain manner or a prophet would run into a specific sequence of events then these will take place.

                                  If you want a modern analogy you could refer to a video game in which you are playing and which is highly interactive. The story is to a large part already programmed, but the story is very open-ended and flexible although certain events which in computer language would be called "scripted" will always occur. And in the end you can reach to two different endings to the main story. You are fully responsible for your acting in the game, but cannot control game rules or scripted events.

                                  For example, if there is a scripted event "doom's day" (time is up) the only way of escaping the event is by beating the game beforehand. The rules are quite straightforward.

                                  Be well

                                    RED nope hahaha so God is also unaware about what he planned..

                                    God bless you my brother , i pray you know the defination of real God who is over all things competant..

                                      He is the One who accepts the repentance from His servants, and remits the sins. He is fully aware of everything you do.

                                      He is the One who created the heavens and the earth, truthfully. Whenever He says, "Be," it is. His word is the absolute truth. All sovereignty belongs to Him the day the horn is blown. Knower of all secrets and declarations, He is the Most Wise, the Cognizant.

                                      He initiated you from one person, and decided your path, as well as your final destiny. We thus clarify the revelations for people who understand.

                                      He is the Alpha and the Omega. He is the Outermost and the Innermost. He is fully aware of all things.

                                      God is the One who raised the heavens without pillars that you can see, then assumed all authority. He committed the sun and the moon, each running (in its orbit) for a predetermined period. He controls all things, and explains the revelations, that you may attain certainty about meeting your Lord.

                                      He is the One who created you from mud, then predetermined your life span, a life span that is known only to Him. Yet, you continue to doubt.

                                      God there is no other god besides Him, the Living, the Eternal. Never a moment of unawareness or slumber overtakes Him. To Him belongs everything in the heavens and everything on earth. Who could intercede with Him, except in accordance with His will? He knows their past, and their future. No one attains any knowledge, except as He wills. His dominion encompasses the heavens and the earth, and ruling them never burdens Him. He is the Most High, the Great.

                                      He is the One God in the heavens and the earth. He knows your secrets and your declarations, and He knows everything you earn.

                                      dear brother ammanuel and all of you please interpret it in any lexicon , corpus or whatever source you think is suitable to first understand the awarenes of God ... before making claims ... God bless you all for me its crystal clear ... i always keep some verses in my notes to provide references ..

                                      God bless you all

                                        Peace everyone,

                                        In the above quoted verses, the poster has deliberately mistranslated some words.

                                        For example in 2255 it does not say "future". "Bayna aideehim" is interpreted as "what is between their hands" which refers to present. For example see 350, 12111

                                        673 does not say "all unseen" but "the unseen".

                                        698 does not say "final destiny" but "resting place".

                                        132 does not say "control all things" but "manages the affairs".

                                        From the verses quoted in above post it is apparent that God has predetermined some things such as lifespan of humans, sun, moon and resting place of humans.

                                        In 4225, it says "everything you do", not "everything you will do" and 63 says "what you earn", not "what you will earn". This is a very important point because these 2 verses do not claim knowledge of future regarding what you will do and what you will earn.

                                        What about the following verses in which it is crystal clear God does not know certain things? Wouldn't that be a major contradiction?

                                        3140 If you are wounded, then know that the other group is also wounded. And such are the days, We alternate them between the people, so that God YA3LAMA/will know those who believe, and so He may make witnesses from among you; and God does not love the wicked.

                                        3142 Or did you think that you would enter Paradise without God YA3LAMI/knowing those who would strive among you and YA3LAMA/knowing those who are patient?

                                        916 Or did you think that you would be left alone? God will come to YA3LAMI/know those of you who strived and did not take other than God and His messenger and the believers as helpers. God is Expert in what you do.

                                        293 We had tested those before them, so that God would YA3LAMANNA/know those who are truthful and so that He would YA3LAMANNA/know the liars.

                                        5725 We have sent Our messengers with clear proofs, and We sent down with them the Book and the balance, so that the people may uphold justice. And We sent down the iron, wherein there is great strength, and many benefits for the people. So that God would YA3LAMA/know those who would support Him and His messengers in the unseen. God is Powerful, Noble.

                                        IF GOD KNOWS ALL THINGS AND KNOWS THE UNSEEN, THEN WHY DO THESE VERSES INDICATE "SO THAT GOD WOULD KNOW" OR "WILL COME TO KNOW", INDICATING THAT GOD DOES NOT KNOW?

                                        FOR THOSE WHO DELIBERATELY MISTRANSLATE "YA3LAMA" AS "DISTINGUISH", THE QURAN USES THE WORD "YAMEEZ" TO MEAN DISTINGUISH LIKE IN 837, BUT EVEN IF "YA3LAMA ALLAH" IS TRANSLATED AS "GOD MAY DISTINGUISH", IT WOULD STILL IMPLY THAT GOD DOES NOT KNOW.

                                        Why didn't the quran use "yameez" instead of "ya3lam" in all above quoted verses?

                                        Peace.

                                          i remember a story in which a perosn make a perfect picture and write a note please indicate mistakes...

                                          next day he see a picture full of mistakes... he again designs same picture and this time he write a note please correct any mistakes if it there..

                                          this day no body correct it !

                                          with respect to fallacy of this ,, why did not i find any mistranslated verse in full book in which God is saying i m partially aware , or God is not aware of anything...

                                          forget about God even the controllers of God knows what is going on before he can create khalifa on earth...

                                          i m still looking for any mistranslated verse or correct translated verse in which God claim he is not aware of all things...

                                          lets see how many logical fallacies will be occur this time... as i already know producing an evidence from quran based on logical fallacy is not that easy...lol

                                          God bless you all.. dnt forget about the message which i try to convey you from the story of picture...
