1) Allah is above the seven heavens and it is mandatory for believers to believe that Allah decreed all matters before creation, including fortunes, misfortunes, obedience, disobedience, destiny for paradise or hellfire. 2) Allah knew everything that would occur before creating humans and recorded it in the Preserved Tablet near Him above the seven heavens. 3) Belief in divine preordainment (al-Qadr) guides the heart to conviction in faith and patience, knowing all that occurs is unavoidable and what does not occur could not have. However, one should not use fate as an excuse to commit sins or disobey Allah, as humans are responsible for their own actions.
