Chapter I: Repentance
When nature is subject to some condition, the condition is created to accept that nature. Then that nature can be acquired from the strength of fate and God-given gift. When nature has not uniformity owing to the cause of condition, so also there is uniformity for occurrence of an event owing to the action of God.
Man should necessarily be fit for occurrence of this uniformity. God says : I ha ve created everything according to a measure. Wi th regard to the original fate, there is this verse: 'My order is not but in a twinkling of an eye.' Man is subject to his fate. Owing to the fate or pre-measurement. He created the strength of movement in the hand a writer after creation firstly of an attribute named strength, secondly after creation in his mind a firm determination and thirdly after creation owing to this determination in mind understanding and fourthly knowledge of cognition. When these four matters subservient to fate from the unseen world appear in the body of a man, the inhabitants of the world know it. But before it remains hidden in the unseen world. Then the inhabitants of this world say :
O man, you have moved, you have thrown arrows, you have written, but proclamation comes from behind the screen : When you have thrown arrows, you have not thrown them. It is God who has thrown them. When you fought, you have not fought. It is God who have fought with them. God will punish them through your hands.
GOD IS AGENT OF ACTIONS
Then sperficial learned man becomes blind and understands it. From his standpoint, he says that man has got freedom of will.

TAUBA VoI-IV
Some say that man has got freedom of will but he has got no
connection with pre-measurement or destiny. Some adopt the
middle course and say that man's action is subject to efforts. If the
doors of heaven would have been opened to them and they
looked to the spiritual and unseen world, it would have surely
been disclosed to them that every opinion is true from one
standpoint or the other, but there is defect in it. God knows the
open and secret words. He does not disclose it except to those
prophets with whom He is pleased. He who has entered the limit
of His pleasure knows only the things of this world and not of the
spiritual world. But a man of spiritual world knows that God is
the Creator of everything and there is no master of action except
He.
Question : You have said that every opinion is true. Cite an example for clear understanding.
