Verses from the Quran about Acceptance of Divine Decree
Acceptance of Divine Decree by the Prophets
This section highlights several verses that exemplify the prophets’ faith in divine decree and destiny:
- The verse from Surah Al-A’raf: (And [mention] when Moses said to his people, “O my people, indeed you have wronged yourselves by your worship of the calf, so turn in repentance to your Creator, and kill yourselves. That is best for you in the sight of your Creator.” And He accepted your repentance; indeed, He is the Accepting of Repentance, the Merciful.)
- (And he raised his parents upon the throne, and they fell down in prostration to him. And he said, “O my father, this is the interpretation of my vision [that I saw] before. My Lord has made it reality. And He was good to me when He took me out of prison and brought you from the bedouins after Satan had induced animosity between me and my brothers. Indeed, my Lord is Subtle in what He wills. Indeed, He is the Knowing, the Wise.)
- (And when he [Ibrahim] became old enough to walk with him, he said, “O my son, indeed I have seen in a dream that I must sacrifice you; so see what you think.” He said, “O my father, do as you are commanded. You will find me, if Allah wills, of the steadfast.)
- (They said, “O Noah, you have certainly argued with us, and we have been debating you for a long time. So bring us what you promise us, if you should be among the truthful.” He said, “Only Allah will bring it to you if He wills, and you will not cause Him to fail.” And my advice will not benefit you, even if I wished to advise you, if Allah should intend for you to be misguided. He is your Lord, and to Him you will be returned.)
