The word Islam means surrender to God. In our secular Western
culture, it is difficult to imagine what that means. Among other
things, it indicates dependence and predestination. But is this
really the case? Isn't this a superficial presumption? Allah calls
on human beings to surrender in freedom to their God (Sura 96).
Allah is merciful and forgiving. At the same time, however, Allah
is the all-seeing one and the one who humbles. In Islam, free will
and predestination have an uneasy relationship with each other-but
isn't this true for every religion? In this collection of essays,
three authors discuss various aspects of the tension between
freedom and predestination in Islam from the perspective of Rudolf
Steiner's works. This background enables them to throw sometimes
surprising light on the freedom impulse of Islam. It is the
authors' hope that this book may contribute to a more balanced view
of Islam today. This timely book offers interested non-Muslims a
rare opportunity to examine a frequently misunderstood aspect of
one of the world's fastest growing religions.
