In Your Name the rivers of fate flow The Ibn Sina's Terminologies The Language of the Arab Al-Qadha (Divine Decision, Decree) & Al-Qadar (Immutable Destiny, Fate) http://www.untiredwithloving.org/ibn_sina_qadha_qadar.html
There is a little known and unfinished work of Ibn Sina called the `Treatise in Terminologies' has been recently published by Dr. Hassan Yar Shatir of Hamadan U. in Iran (`Panj Risalih' ISBN: 964-7874-47-2). >From that treatise the section on Qadha and Qadar was selected and translated into English. In all religions the concept of Divine Decree and Fate is left as blind belief. In Ibn Sina's treatise he talks about the involved `processes' starting from the Primordial Decision all the way to the `currents' of potentialities within our spatial-temporal transient universe. Similar concept, however focused on Tauhid (Divine Oneness), was versed by Sheikh Mahmoud Shabistari in his seminal work Golshan Raz (Secrets' Meadows). These verses translated however with a new twist: http://www.untiredwithloving.org/ibn_sina_qadha_shabistari.jpg Both terminologies of Ibn Sina and Shabistari were annotated with the Klein-Gordon relativistic quantum mechanical equations for Probability Currents and Electric Charge! We see a definite match in concepts though one is from the point of view of philosophy, one from the point of view of Sufism's spirituality and one from the point of view of microscopic formulation of the atomic laws of motion! Dr. Hind Rifai actually traveled and obtained the above said book which she has donated as a gift to the UWL library. Moreover she has painstakingly edited the cryptic Arabic of Sheikh Ibn Sina. My warmest appreciation and reverence for her great effort. --DARA The Eyeless Lion
