Summary
A sound hadith states that after the soul is breathed in, an angel is commanded to record a person's provision, lifespan, deeds and final outcome, whether wretched or happy. Qadar must be understood correctly to avoid the errors of the Jabariyyah and Qadariyyah. Allah knows in advance what choices people will make, yet humans are still given choice and are commanded to act. Qadar is also divided into mubram, which is final in the Preserved Tablet, and mu'allaq, which may change through causes such as supplication and maintaining kinship ties, all within Allah's knowledge.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Di akhir hadith ini ada diceritakan berkaitan qadar atau ketentuan manusia itu telah ditetapkan oleh Allah SWT sejak di alam rahim lagi.
