Summary of Sunni concepts
The levels of destiny are four
Achieving belief in destiny is achieved by believing in its four levels
Science, writing, will, and creation
First place is science
What is meant by it is the belief that God Almighty knows everything completely and completely before it happens
Whether it is with regard to His actions, Glory be to Him, of creation, provision, life, death, etc
Or what is related to the actions of created beings
God Almighty said
And God is All-Knowing of all things
His saying “every year” includes every known thing
And the Almighty said
And God has full knowledge of everything
This knowledge from God Almighty was not preceded by ignorance nor followed by forgetfulness
As God Almighty said
He said: What about the first centuries?
He said: Its knowledge is with my Lord in a book
My Lord does not go astray or forget
His saying “he does not go astray” means he is not ignorant
His saying “he does not forget” means he does not forget what was known before
This is in contrast to the creature whose knowledge is preceded by ignorance and forgetfulness
Second place is writing
And what is meant by it
Belief that God Almighty wrote the fate of creation
Fifty thousand years before He created the heavens and the earth
God Almighty said
No calamity befalls on earth or in yourselves except that it is in a book before We bring it forth
This is easy for God
And the Almighty said
Did you not know that God knows what is in heaven and earth?
It's in a book
This is easy for God
The third rank is the will
What is meant by it is the belief that everything that was and will be
It is by the will of God Almighty
As Muslims say
God willing, it was
And what He did not will, did not happen
The same applies to what was done by God Almighty
Or from the action of the creature
As God Almighty said
If God willed, he could fight, but God does what He wants
Fighting is the slave's action
God Almighty made it by His will
And the Almighty said
If your Lord had willed, they would not have done it
So leave them and what they invent
Fourth place
Creation
And what is meant by it
Belief that God Almighty created what He knew, wrote, and willed
He is the creator of everything
There are many verses about that
Among them is the Almighty’s saying
God is the creator of everything
He is an agent over everything
And the Almighty said
We created everything with destiny
This also includes the actions of people
Their actions are created by God Almighty
As God Almighty said
God created you and what you do
