Predestination in Islam

In Islam, predestination means that everything that happens in the world is decided in advance by Allah (God). It means that Allah knows everything that will happen in the future and that He can control it. Predestination means that Allah knows what is going to happen before it happens, and nothing happens without His permission. Even though everyone has free will, Allah still knows what is going to happen and how things will turn out. It is believed that everything that happens, good or bad, is part of Allah's plan. People are still responsible for their actions, even though everything is already predestined.
