Summary
The question of divine fate and destiny, and willful acts performed by human will has preoccupied the minds of thinkers and scholars since ancient times, as it is one of the most important intellectual and doctrinal issues. In this article, I try to shed light on the correct doctrine concerning man's will and option in carrying out his actions, the reality of those actions, and how they are done by man. I will then deal with the problematic belief that these actions are done as a part of divine fate and destiny, following, in that, the rational demonstrative approach, and quoting the holy traditions of the infallibles.
