Q : My soul was created without my will, how is it free will?




Q : My soul was created without my will, how is it free will?
My soul was created without my will, my body was created without my will, my family was chosen without my will, I got birth in a society and I didn't got to chose its psyche which molded my psyche into it was not of my will, so when do something with that psyche, how is it free will?
Answer:
In the name of Allah the most Gracious most merciful.
First thing you should know that, you are not created without your knowledge and or your will,
Allah has clarified this in Glorious Quran:
“And [mention] when your Lord took from the children of Adam - from their loins - their descendants and made them testify of themselves, [saying to them], "Am I not your Lord?" They said, "Yes, we have testified." [This] - lest you should say on the day of Resurrection, "Indeed, we were of this unaware."
(Glorious Quran, Al-Araf, 7/172).
The above verse of Quran has nullified the whole bunch of doubts, even though, let us examine more.
We don’t remember any promises taken from us, even of any discussions with Allah before our birth on this earth. But this is not an excuse to deny the fact of promise we have made.
We forgot everything of our first days on earth, but, we are created with wisdom to know and understand our birth, our parents who bought us up and we are created with wisdom to know and understand our creator.
For wicked people it makes no difference weather they remember their past or not, because though they remember many things in family, friends and society which has helped and contributed them in their difficult days. They just forget everything and become violent even to their own parents. So, it makes no difference what they remember and what they forgot.
To understand other part of your doubts, you carefully observe the words Allah used in that particular verse:
“………from the CHILDREN of Adam - from their LOINS - their DESCENDANTS………”
Is it not surprising? How you can wish to be son of some one who is not your Parent ? You are son of your parents, your grand parents, your forefathers….how can you expect to be son of some one who is not your parent ?
Your psyche is from your blood, not from some unknown identity.
If it was from a unknown identity, you could had chance to complain.
Finally below verse of Glorious Quran should answer to rest of your doubts.
“Every soul draws the meed of its acts on none but itself: no bearer of burdens can bear the burden of another. Your goal in the end is towards Allah. He will tell you the truth of the things wherein ye disputed." (Glorious Quran, Chapter 6:164)
“…………….no bearer of burdens can bear the burden of another………”
What you bear is your burden, your will, your struggle, your move.
If there was no consultation before your birth , you could not have seen your present life conditions.
Hope this satisfies the doubts raised in the question.
