KARACHI: Pakistan’s famous actress Yashma Gill<\/a> asked a question during a meeting with the renowned international scholar Dr. Zakir Naik<\/a> at Governor’s House in Karachi.<\/p>\n

Dr. Naik, who is currently on a visit to Pakistan, delivered a lecture to a large audience at the Sindh Governor’s House on the evening of October 5.<\/p>\n

The lecture entitled “What is the purpose of our lives?” This was followed by a question-and-answer session.<\/p>\n

Before asking her question, Yashma Gill shared that she had strayed from Islam but returned to the faith after listening to Dr. Naik’s teachings.<\/p>\n

Yashma Gill’s first question to Dr. Naik was about free will in the context of predestination: “If God has already written our destiny, what power do we have to choose?” He explained by asking who is responsible if a person does right or wrong, since destiny is predestined.<\/p>\n

In response, Dr. Naik explained that God knows the unseen future. He knows what actions a person will do, whether good or bad.<\/p>\n

He clarified that humans do not do what God has written in their destiny. Rather, God writes what man will do, because God knows what man will choose.<\/p>\n

Dr. Naik explained this with the example of a person standing at a four-way intersection. God writes in a person’s destiny the path that person chooses at that moment based on his own decision\u2014the path that was chosen not by God but by the person himself.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
