Shaykh Yasir Qadhi elaborates on the Islamic principle of Qadr and why we believe in Qadr.
The belief of Qadr is based on 2 premises - firstly, Allah is in control of everything and the second is that Allah is Ar Rahman. These two pillars are mentioned in numerous verses of the Qur'an and in various Ahadith.
There are many benefits to believe in Qadr:
Our heart achieves a sense of peace and contentment.
It leads to optimism and we look at the bright side and know that there is some wisdom in any difficulty upon you.
It brings about a sense of generosity towards the orphans and the poor within ourselves.
It makes the Muslim brave. No benefit or adversity can befall you except that Allah has willed for it to happen and not in the hands of anyone else.
It brings a sense of Tawakkul and strong Iman within oneself.
