The Concept of Divine Will and Universal Causation in Jami's Silsilat al-Dhahab
This concept examines the theological doctrine of Divine Will (Iradah and Mashiyyah) as presented in Section 7 of Jami's Silsilat al-Dhahab (from the Haft Awrang). In the poem, Jami argues that all events and actions in the universe—whether voluntary, like human deeds, or natural, like floods and stones—originate solely from God's eternal and absolute will. The concept emphasizes the absolute sovereignty of God, asserting that not even a thorn can prick or a thread can break without divine decree, and that humanity is completely powerless to alter the universe in any way without God's permission.
