Islamic Psychology – Free Will Throughout Islamic history (as throughout the history of Judaism and Christianity) both God’s sovereignty and our responsibility have been affirmed. In denying that we are born with a sinful nature, the Islamic view of the human will differs from the Christian view (which affirms that we have a real will capable of choosing good and evil, and are responsible for our thoughts and actions). Abdalati explains the Islamic view of our free will: “Man is a free agent endowed with a free will. This is the essence of his humanity and the basis of his responsibility to his Creator. Without man’s relative free will life would be meaningless and God’s covenant with man would be in vain. Without human free will, God would be defeating His own purpose and man would be completely incapable of bearing any responsibility.”8 Abdalati goes on to explain our responsibility for our own choices: “Man is a responsible agent. But responsibility for sin is borne by the actual offender alone. Sin is not hereditary, transferable, or communal in nature. Every individual is responsible for his own deeds. And while man is susceptible to corruption, he is also capable of redemption and reform. This does not mean that Islam prefers the individual to the group. Individualism means little or nothing when severed from social context. What it means is that the individual has different sets of roles to play. He must play them in such a way as to guard his moral integrity, preserve his identity, observe the rights of God, and fulfill his social obligations.”9 - See more at: http://www.allaboutworldview.org/islamic-psychology.htm#sthash.6fHJ8RrX.dpuf
