Summary
In Islamic terminology, Qada’ is what Allah decides concerning His creatures, whether in creating, removing or altering them. Qadar is the measure that Allah set from eternity so that things occur according to His prior knowledge. Qadar precedes Qada’, and the two are inseparable. The ruling also notes differing definitions between the Ash’arites and the Maturidis, and the commentator on the verse in Syarah Jauharah al-Tauhid follows the Maturidi view.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Manakala dari sudut syarak, Qada' ialah perkara yang diputuskan oleh Allah SWT terhadap segala makhluknya samada dari sudut menciptakannya, meniadakannya, atau mengubahnya.
