25فَلِلَّهِ الآخِرَةُ وَالأولىٰAli UnalBut (whatever human desires, be it to serve his higher good, or to serve his carnal appetites) to God belong the after(life) and the former (life).1It is God Who has created the universe and humankind. No one has any choice about whether they come to the world or not; when and where they are born; in what family they will come to the world; when they will depart from the world; nor in the determination of their color, race, physical body, or sex. So, it is also God Who has established the conditions of life in the world and the law of causality (what happens to humans as a result of their actions); and it is also He Who has established what deed will bring reward or punishment in the Hereafter. In sum, human beings have not been given either absolute freedom or absolute autonomy.
