Taqdir

Taqdeer (Arabic: تقدير‎), literally "to make powerful,"[1] from qadar (Arabic: قدر‎) refers to God's granting of agency, one of the aspects of Aqidah. In this concept, human beings are granted agency by God, not through their own selves. The words are used throughout the collections Quran of Hadith in reference to God's power over His creation.

The concept of taqdeer is that God has complete mastery over all creation. It is an integral part of Islamic belief. Muslims typically believe that everything that has happened and everything that will come to pass in the future has been allowed to happen by God.

The name of the 97th surah of the Quran is known as Surat- al-Qadr. This surah refers the day of Ramadan known as Laylat al-Qadr (Arabic: لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ‎).
