Predestination is a theological doctrine that asserts that the divine, or in some views, a sublime fate, has foreordained all that will happen. This concept is prominent in many religious traditions, particularly in Christianity, where it is often associated with the idea that God has predestined certain individuals for salvation (also known as "the elect") and others for damnation. The term originates from the Latin praedestinatio, which means "predestination" or "foreordination." In Hebrew, the concept can be translated as גזר דין (gzer din), which literally means "decree of judgment" or "predestination." In Arabic, it is often referred to as القضاء والقدر (al-qadāʾ wa'l-qadar), which translates to "divine decree and destiny." The doctrine of predestination has been a subject of significant debate and interpretation throughout religious history, with various theologians and scholars offering differing views on its implications and compatibility with concepts such as free will. In Calvinism, for instance, predestination is a central tenet, emphasizing that God's sovereign choice is the ultimate determinant of an individual's fate, whereas in Arminianism, the emphasis is on human free will and the possibility of resisting God's grace.
