The Concept of Divine Apportionment and Predestination in Hadiqat al-Haqiqah

In Section 60 of the Hadiqat al-Haqiqah, Sanai addresses the theological concept of divine predetermination (qadar) regarding human creation, character, lifespan, and sustenance (rizq). Drawing upon the prophetic Hadith stating that God has already concluded these matters, and referencing the Quranic concept of divine allotment ('We have apportioned' from Quran 43:32), Sanai argues that human anxiety over material sustenance is futile. Since the divine decree is immutable and subject to neither change (tabdil) nor alteration (tahwil), a seeker must renounce greedy pursuits and trust in the predetermined division established by God.
