a compelling discussion on divine decree and human responsibility in early Islamic thought. Jahm b. Safwan's determinism, which denied human agency, sparked significant opposition from the Mu'tazilah. They argued for rationalizing God's justice and emphasized human free will, introducing concepts like tawallud (generation) to explain the causal relationship between actions and outcomes. Key figures like Abu'l-Hudhail and Bishr b. al-Mu'tamir contributed nuanced perspectives on balancing human freedom with divine omnipotence. Theories from al-Naẓẓam and Mu'ammar b. 'Abbad on inherent nature and indirect causation aimed to reconcile divine sovereignty with the existence of evil. These early theological debates are crucial for understanding the evolution of Islamic thought and its impact on Islamic civilization. I look forward to exploring more episodes to see how these discussions influenced later Islamic philosophy and theology. plz keep it up
