Re-reading and analyzing Ibn Sina's opinions about the effect of human will in the cause and effect system of the world and his solution to the paradoxical solution of free will and divine predestination necessitates research on this issue. Ibn Sina explains the system of will and free will as well as the knowledge of God's favor as the best system. According to Ibn Sina, divine destiny is God's general knowledge of the best system, and from this knowledge, possible beings emerge. According to him, based on divine decree, man has a type of will that has been subject to the will and providence of God with the discretion of what the speaking power recognizes as good. Man's free will can realize his desire or practical power -instead of being motivated by lower animal powers such as appetitive or angry powers- in the direction of realizing intellectual forms. It is in obtaining and paying attention to such a possibility that a person is placed on the path of destiny, that is, the granting of free will, in the sense of choosing goodness, beauty, and goodness, through the power of wisdom. From the point of view of Sheikh Al-Raees, human discretion means to be in line with God's will and his providence for the actualization and realization of the best system. This research is done with descriptive-analytical method.
