Question:<\/strong><\/p>\n In the book At-Tafkeer Al-Islami<\/em>, which is one of the adopted books, it mentions that supplication (du\u2019aa) does not turn back the Divine Destiny (qadar) and does not change the Divine fate (qadaa\u2019) or the knowledge of Allah (swt)). However there are texts from the Qur\u2019an and the Sunnah that seem to me to contradict this understanding; it has been narrated that the Prophet (saw) said:<\/p>\n \u00ab\u0644\u064e\u0627 \u064a\u064e\u0631\u064f\u062f\u0651\u064f \u0627\u0644\u0652\u0642\u064e\u0636\u064e\u0627\u0621\u064e \u0625\u0650\u0644\u0651\u064e\u0627 \u0627\u0644\u062f\u0651\u064f\u0639\u064e\u0627\u0621\u064f\u00bb<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cNothing turns back the Divine Fate (qada) except supplication.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n There are other numerous Hadiths with this meaning, and they prove that supplication (du\u2019aa) changes the Divine Destiny. So how can we reconcile between what is mentioned in the book and these texts? May Allah reward you with the good.<\/p>\n Answer:<\/strong><\/p>\n I think you are referring to what is stated in the book Al-Fikr Al-Islami<\/em> (Islamic Thought<\/em>) and not At-Tafkeer Al-Islami which was a mistake in the question. Also another mistake in the question was stating that (it is one of the adopted books); it is not adopted and it is mentioned in the Administration file under (The nonadopted books that are published by Hizb ut Tahrir, whether they carry the name of the Ameer, or a name of another member for other considerations, and they are not taught in Halaqas (closed circles), and then it mentions from these books: (Al-Fikr Al-Islami (Islamic Thought)). In any case, as I mentioned previously, it seems that you are referring to what was mentioned in the book: (But it must be clear that supplication (du\u2019aa) does not change what is in the knowledge of Allah, does not avert a Divine fate, does not take away the Divine destiny, and nothing happens without its cause, because the knowledge of Allah is inevitably accomplished, and Allah\u2019s Decree will take place inevitably. If it was turned back by supplication (du\u2019aa), then it would not be a Divine fate (qadaa\u2019), and the Divine destiny is founded by Allah; therefore, it is not taken away by supplication (du\u2019aa)).

Nothing takes place in existence except that it has already been decreed by Allah and is in His record. What is already decreed must take place and is inevitable, that is, nothing stops and prevents what is destined (qadr).<\/strong><\/p>\n It is understood from the aforementioned two Hadiths that the du’aa averts Divine destiny (qadr), or the fate (qadaa\u2019)<\/strong>. The meaning here is the same, so there is a doubt (shubha<\/em>) that contradicts the definite evidence on the qadr<\/em>, and as mentioned above, the first is to combine the two Hadiths with the definite evidence, if possible; otherwise, the meaning of the Hadith is rejected (diraya).<\/p>\n 6- Hence, after studying this matter, I say with Allah\u2019s tawfeeq:<\/strong><\/p>\n A- The Hadith:<\/p>\n \u00ab\u0644\u064e\u0627 \u064a\u064e\u0631\u064f\u062f\u0651\u064f \u0627\u0644\u0652\u0642\u064e\u062f\u064e\u0631\u064e \u0625\u0650\u0644\u0651\u064e\u0627 \u0627\u0644\u062f\u0651\u064f\u0639\u064e\u0627\u0621\u064f\u00bb<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cNothing turns back Divine destiny (qadar) except supplication,\u201d<\/strong> in the real meaning of the word (turns away qadr) i.e. removes it from Al-Lawh Al-Mahfouz (protected decree), this Hadith in this meaning is rejected by diraya<\/em> (in meaning), because the decreed matter or destined is recorded in Al-Lawh Al-Mahfouz (Protected Decree), and it must inevitably take place and nothing will stop its happening , i.e. it will not be wiped out of Al-Lawh Al-Mahfouz (Protected Decree); therefore, the Hadith is rejected by Diraya (in meaning) if it cannot be combined (with the other Hadith), then the definite evidences on qadr are taken, i.e. the qadr must take place and is not averted. But before rejecting the meaning (diraya), effort must be exerted to combine all the definite and indefinite evidences, because using both evidences is of more priority than to ignore one of them.<\/p>\n B- In the Usul (of Fiqh) when it is impossible to find the truth due to a qareena (indication), obstructing the real meaning, which here is the definite evidences on qadr mentioned above, therefore the metaphoric understanding of the Hadith is taken if it is possible according to the language. This is possible here; the word qadr or qadaa\u2019 in the Hadith is in the metaphorical sense and is understood by its consequences i.e. its effect; in other words, what is caused by it due to causation, so it mentions the reason, but the meaning is what is intended, like if you say: (the rain grew the earth) and you mention the cause (rain) and mean the result, the product, (the plant), and here qadr is also mentioned but what is intended is metaphoric meaning, i.e. its effect or what is its result, and therefore the aversion is not to the qadaa\u2019 or the qadr, but to their effect, for example, if a qadaa\u2019 or qadr befalls a Muslim, like an illness or a loss of a child, a loss of money, and a loss of trade etc, then the du\u2019aa turns back the effect, as in the Hadith of Al-Hassan Bin Ali (ra) he said: that the Messenger (saw) taught me to say words in the Qunut of Al-Witr:<\/p>\n \u00ab\u0627\u0644\u0644\u0651\u064e\u0647\u064f\u0645\u0651\u064e \u0627\u0647\u0652\u062f\u0650\u0646\u0650\u064a \u0641\u0650\u064a\u0645\u064e\u0646\u0652 \u0647\u064e\u062f\u064e\u064a\u0652\u062a\u064e… \u0648\u064e\u0642\u0650\u0646\u0650\u064a \u0634\u064e\u0631\u0651\u064e \u0645\u064e\u0627 \u0642\u064e\u0636\u064e\u064a\u0652\u062a\u064e…\u00bb<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0\u201cO Allah, guide me among those whom You have guided … and save me from the evil of what You have decreed.\u201d <\/strong>The believer, when he calls Allah in du\u2019aa and increased the du’aa to protect him from the evil of the qadaa\u2019, then Allah will ease its impact and help him to endure it and be patient upon it. Then Allah will make his life comfortable even after the qadaa\u2019 has befallen on him. That is, Allah will ease the qadaa\u2019 on him and lighten its impact. it is as if his du\u2019aa has averted the qadaa\u2019 metaphorically. That is, Allah has helped him to withstand the qadaa\u2019 and gave him patience. How many men are injured by thorns, and they are weakened and shaken?, And how many men undergo disasters and yet their tongues are moist with the Zikr of Allah; a man supplicates to Allah to protect him from the evil of the calamity and its impact, and he is granted patience and his matters are straightened, as if his du\u2019aa have averted the calamity metaphorically.<\/p>\n Thus, it is understood that qadr is inevitable and must take place, but the du\u2019aa of the believer sincerely and faithfully will avert the impact on him, i.e. the impact will be eased and he will be helped<\/p>\n <\/p>\n to endure it and have patience dealing with it, and to lighten the weight of the calamity on him, and then he will enjoy the life as if the calamity did not occur.\u00a0 All that is recorded in Al-Lawh Al-Mahfouz; Allah has decreed it and knows it since Eternity. That is, it is recorded in Al-Lawh Al \u2013Mahfouz, that it is destined that a calamity will befall on this slave and it will happen, and this slave will call on Allah (in du\u2019aa) to protect him from its evil. Allah (swt) will respond to him and help him endure it and have patience dealing with it\u00a0 as if it did not fall on him metaphorically.<\/p>\n This is how the Hadith understood. this is what I see as stronger (in opinion) Allah Most Knowledgeable and Most Wise.<\/strong><\/p>\n 7- For further information, I will mention the following:<\/p>\n A- In my book (At-Tayseer Fi Usul At-Tafseer) it states:<\/p>\n [Answering the du\u2019aa (supplication) does not mean a change in fate or what is written in the Al-Lawh Al-Mahfouz (protected Decree) or in the knowledge of Allah, i.e. Allah\u2019s response does not mean that He (swt) did not know about the du\u2019aa of his servant and that Allah will answer it, and therefore is not recorded in Al-Lawh Al-Mahfouz, but rather Allah knows it and it’s recorded since eternity. Qadar is the knowledge of Allah, that is, what is written in Al-Lawh Al-Mahfouz and everything that will take place is written in it since eternity. Allah (swt) knows that someone will supplicate to Him. If Allah decreed to answer, it is written that someone will call in supplication with such and such and that this will be achieved with such and such. Du\u2019aa is not a new composition that is not in Allah’s knowledge or not written in AL-Lawh Al-Mahfouz, as well as the response. Rather all that will take place is recorded in Al-Lawh Al-Mahfouz; Allah knows the unseen and knows what the servant does in word or deed, and everything is already written previously since eternity. Du\u2019aa made by the servant is known to Allah and is recorded as it is. As well as His (swt) answer as desired by Allah (swt) is recorded since eternity.
