We are not under compulsion because the will and choice is ours; nor are we completely independent, because the power to do whatever we intend to do comes from God. [^6] And at what point does our ability to do things start? Imam Musa al‑Kazim (peace be upon him) said, "A man acquires that ability when four conditions are fulfilled: 1.
when there is nothing to hinder his plans; 2 his health and 3 the faculties (needed for that work) are up to the required standard; and 4 Allah provides him the occasion of that work. When all these conditions are fulfilled, a man becomes capable of acting according to his own free will." When asked for an example, the Imam said, "Let us suppose that there is a man, without any hindrance, of good health and proper strength; yet he cannot commit adultery unless he finds a woman.
