Abstract

One of the important issues in divine religions, especially Islam is "fate". Fate is one of the complex issues of theology. How can we believe in fate and at the some time believe in free will in human beings?
Some philosophers and theologians believe in divine fate and put some limitation for human free will. But others believe in divine fate and at the some time believe in proper free will for human beings.
The third group have attempted to prove the divine fate behind the free actions of human beings. The purpose of this paper is to examine the different views in this regard and consider Sadra’s view in this issue.
