"The belief that everything which happened, happen and will happen is according to the knowledge, will and command of Allah Ta’ala is called Taqdeer.
Taqdeer is also called Al-Qadha Wal-Qadr, which means to “measure out” or “pre-ordering.”
Taqdeer is one of the articles of the Islamic faith.
Belief in Taqdeer is compulsory. A person who rejects this will be a Kafir."

"The universe, in the Ashʿarite and Māturīdite worldviews, which is known as occasionalism, is like a computer simulation controlled by God. Nothing has any objective reality of its own, and nothing has the power to cause anything. Reality is entirely a “computer simulation”, like in the film The Matrix, that God controls and operates."
