[0:40] Muslims believe that God knows all things and that nothing happens without His knowledge and permission.
[1:25] Belief in Qadar does not mean we sit and do nothing. We are still required to make effort, work hard and make good choices.
[2:15] The Prophet taught us to tie our camel and then trust in God. This means we take all sensible steps and then leave the result to God.
[3:00] When the outcome is not what we hoped, belief in Qadar gives us patience and peace, knowing God's wisdom is greater than ours.
