Qaza

क़ज़ा
said qa-ZAA
also written: Qaza-o-Qadar
Meaning

Divine decree; God's ordaining of events and destiny.

Usage & notes

Iqbal refuses a fatalistic reading of qaza, arguing that the empowered self can rise to become a partner in destiny rather than its passive object. He famously holds that God reshapes the fate of one who reshapes himself.
