Belief in Qadar — The Sixth Pillar
Qadar is the sixth and most nuanced pillar of Iman. Ibn Kathir explains that 54:49 was revealed specifically to refute those who denied divine decree. Allah recorded the measurements of all creation fifty thousand years before He created the heavens and earth.
Qadar — divine decree — is the sixth and most nuanced pillar of Iman. The Hadith of Jibreel states that Iman includes belief in Al-Qadar — both its good and its bad. Surah Al-Qamar 54:49 is the foundational Quranic verse on this pillar, and Ibn Kathir records that it was revealed specifically to address those who deny divine decree.

"We have created all things in due measure;"
