Abstract
Explaining the extent of man's influence on existence and his role in determining and changing his destiny is one of the most important theological topics. In order to explain this problem in terms of proof, three general views of determinism, delegation, and inter-commands have been formed. Ghazali, with the view that the acceptance of free will for humans, violates the monotheism of verbs, and with the implication of obligation, limits the power and will of Almighty God, he believes in predestination and acquisition. After explaining the concept of free will and human predestination, the present essay examines the validity of this relation and claim by referring to Ghazali's works with a descriptive-analytical method. Findings: Ghazali does not believe in the system of causality between the phenomena of existence and considers the repetition of existing relationships and order to be caused by God's custom. Qadha and Qadr determine all events and phenomena in the world, and all actions of existence are God's voluntary and optional actions. Results: Ghazali does not assign a role to man in determining his own destiny, with the exclusiveness of will and authority to the Almighty God, and the prior determination of events and events by Qada and Qadr. His appeal to the idea of "gain" in line with the responsibility of man for his actions has not been able to solve the paradox of determinism and punishment and reduce the intellectual problems of determinism.
