Divine
Will means the previous knowledge according to which Allah created all
things and ruled by it from eternity. Allah says: "Verily, We have
created all things with Divine Will." [Qur’an 54:49]
Predestination refers to when creation follows that which has already
been decreed. Allah says: "The Originator of the Heavens and the
Earth (Allah). When He decrees a matter, He only says to it: ‘Be!’
– and it is ." [Qur’an 2:117]
