How can the concept of Divine Decree (Qadaa), in its two categories (definite and suspended), be reconciled with what is stated in the Hadith: "No servant truly believes until he believes in Qadar, its good and its evil, coming from Allah, and until he knows that what befell him was not to miss him, and what missed him was not to befall him"? And does Allah's eternal knowledge of the people of Paradise and Hell contradict the principle of free will? And how do we respond to the misconception that Allah's creation of humankind, along with His prior knowledge of their destiny, is an act of loving to torment them?

The saying of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him: "So that you may know that what befell you was not to miss you," means that everything that afflicts you, whether good or evil, has already been predetermined in Allah's knowledge and His Book. The unalterable decree is that which is in Allah's knowledge and does not change, while the suspended decree may change.

Allah's prior knowledge of who will enter Paradise or Hell does not contradict the servant's choice. Allah Almighty has commanded work and entrusted the recompense to it. Relying on destiny without work leads to the disabling of religious laws and the corruption of both worldly and religious affairs.

As for the misconception that Allah's prior knowledge of who will enter Hell means He loves to torment them, this is not a necessary implication. A teacher who knows a student will fail does not mean he loves for the student to fail. It is advised to stay away from atheistic websites that propagate such doubts.
