Did Allah decree striving, working, and provision all together, or is my work from His decree and my not working likewise, or did He, glory be to Him, know that I would work and so prescribe provision for me? And what is the relationship between Allah's knowledge and divine decree (qadar)? And is provision written based on His knowledge of my actions? And is there a book about divine decree, other than the eighth volume, that you recommend?

Everything in the universe occurs by the decree of Allah the Almighty, for He is the Creator of all things, their Apportioner, and their Willer. Nothing falls outside of His decree. A person's actions and sustenance are predetermined by Allah the Almighty, and everything in the universe is in accordance with Allah's eternal knowledge.
