preordainment , auch: preordination

Charlie Ward called it a divine act of preordainment, and Riley said he couldn't possibly argue with him.

In accordance with the Islamic belief in predestination, or divine preordainment (al-qadā wa'l-qadar), God has full knowledge and control over all that occurs.

In Islamic theology, divine preordainment does not suggest an absence of God's indignation against evil, because any evils that do occur are thought to result in future benefits men may not be able to see.
