Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books A Case Inbetween Two Concerns Epilogue The result we conclude from the research we have made through the speeches of the Progeny (A.S.) respectively of this sensitive cause is: Man falls inbetween determinism and authorization in what the Progeny(A.S.) called (a case inbetween two concerns).

This position does not connote a synthesis between compulsion and authorization in the sense that man’s behaviour consists of both; rather they(A.S.) meant to deny determinism, authorization and independent behaviour. He – on one side – is completely free to make his choice being given by Allah the Great and Almighty all the talents required for such freedom namely, the brain, the ability to distinguish things and the maturity needed.

On the other side: He – in his deed and choice – is conditioned by the laws of destiny and fate which are subject to the domination and guardianship of Allah the Sublime at the center of which, man, his choice and his deed fall.

(AsSadouqu) narrates from Huraiz bin Abdullah who quotes (AsSadiqu) (A.S.): (People have three approaches to fate; some of them claim that Allah the Great and Almighty compels man to disobey and commit misdeeds, such people have done injustice to Allah by such an approach, so they are non – believers – Others claim that man is authorized to do, as he likes; these people have degraded the authority of Allah the Great and Almighty, so they too are non-believers.

The third group claim that Allah has assigned to man duties and actions up to his potency, never assigning to him tasks that overbear it, and if man does well he will praise Allah, and if he misbehaves he will ask His forgiveness, people as such are true mature Muslims).

AsSadougu narrated from (Sulaiman bin Jaffar Al Jaffari) who quotes Al Redha (A.S.) and says: Somebody mentioned determinism and authorization, in front of the Imam, so he (A.S.) said: (May I give you a fundamental opinion that you may never differ about and by means of which you can win any argument? We said: Aye, Aye if you wish.
