A student argues that belief in qadar (predestination) means humans have no free will and therefore are not accountable for their actions. Assess this claim using the principles of Islamic theology and state the correct understanding of the relationship between qadar and free will.

Answer Options

Correct Answer A. The claim is incorrect; Islam teaches that while Allah's decree (qadar) encompasses all events, humans are granted limited free will to choose their actions, and therefore remain morally responsible.
B. Islam teaches that qadar overrides human choice entirely, so individuals are merely instruments of divine will and bear no moral responsibility.
C. The claim is correct; because Allah's decree (qadar) determines every action, humans have no free will and are not accountable.
D. According to Islamic theology, free will is an illusion; all deeds are preordained by qadar, making accountability unnecessary.
