Psycho-Spiritual Benefits of Belief in Taqdeer

Belief in Taqdeer is one of the six pillars of Imaan without which one cannot be a Muslim.

This belief in Divine Decree offers profound spiritual and psychological benefits.

The belief in Taqdeer ensures that one does not consider his own actions to be really effective in themselves. This fosters humility, deep acceptance, contentment (Ridha), Sabr, Shukr, spiritual resilience and trust (Tawakkal) in Allah and protects against arrogance in success and hopelessness and depression in failure.

Belief in Taqdeer fosters deep acceptance and contentment with whatever occurs, as it is understood to be within Allah's knowledge, will, and command.

Belief in Taqdeer thus gives peace of mind, makes it easy to recognise the futility of unlawful actions to achieve success, strengthens Taqwa and forges a deeper connection with Allah.

A person who truly believes in Taqdeer will not panic during hardships and misfortune, maintaining a strong heart and emotional stability.

Acceptance of Divine Decree mitigates feelings of frustration and hopelessness even when difficulties persist, helping to banish weakness and prevent despair.

The believer in Taqdeer avoids unnecessary stress by not relying solely on material means and instead finds hope by turning to Allah and recognizing the futility of unlawful actions when facing adversity. 

Belief in Taqdeer prevents unhealthy attachment to outcomes, allowing gratitude without excessive elation at success or debilitating distress at loss
