Kada and Kadar in Islam

In Islam Kada means the will or destiny and Kadar means to determine or to assess something.

According to an Ayath number 11 of Surah An-Nur of the holy Quran, the interpretation of which is,

Indeed, all of those who brought the insult against the Hazrat Aishah (May Allah be pleased with her) are a group of people within you. You should not consider it a bad thing. And it is not good for you also.

 This incident is a true example of Kada’a and Kadar. Because Allah allowed for that incident to have happened and Allah allowed the accusations of Mrs. Aysha, then there must be a great wisdom behind all of them, if we know it or not. 

The interpretation of this incident by different scholars is different. Some said; 

1)      This event happened because of her necklace which fell to the ground as it resulted in going back to it. And hence, the whole event might not have happened

2)      Others said that if the companions with the camel would have felt that Hawdaj (the seat which is not in it) is empty, the whole incident might not have happened. 

 

There are tens of “If Only”s which can be created from this Ifk event. However, only a single If Only event is accepted. Allah allowed this event to have happened so that the testing of the souls may be done. The believers might have god thoughts of themselves, the hypocrites will uncover the way of living of these people. They will spread the words about Ifk or fabrication and the lies will be added to it and the additional things will be added which is not true. Hence, the event was a trial for both the parties. 

According to the interpretation of Ayath number 179 of Surah Aal- Imran, Allah is not going to leave the believers in the state in which you are experiencing now, until and unless he distinguishes the wicked from the good.
