LessonsPrayer for a Good End and Dissociation from Deviant DoctrinesQuiz

The Jabriyyah regard the human being as wholly compelled in all actions. They do not grant the servant any meaningful choice and attribute each action directly to divine decree, will, and power.

Under this position, grounds for praising or blaming the servant for good or bad conduct disappear, because the servant is not treated as performing voluntary acts.

Affirmation of Allah's power and decree is distinct from regarding the servant as entirely without choice. The latter is the extreme position of jabr.
