- Idea that God knows/ determines everything that will happen
Sunni - already determined what will happen
- written down everything in 'book of decrees'
- people must act according to his will = creator
- his will is powerful = make anything happen
- humans can't change destin, but can choose how to behave
"only what a God has decreed will happen to us"
Shi'a - God knows everything that will happen
- creator of time, outside so can't see in the past, present or future
- knows what choices people will make, but still have free will to make their own
"a God does not change the condition of a people unless they change what is in themselves"
