Moulana_s different approach to the question of Determinism and Free will

Determinism and freewill are among the principal religious and discourse related issues which have been the subject of many discussions and investigations in Philosophy and Mysticism.  Upon acceptance of determinism the mystery of man_s responsibility and the riddle of creation of sin arise and upon acceptance of freewill (Tafviz) we are faced with the paradox of limitation of God_s power and an exception to the ultimate law of causation emerge. Legal theorists, philosophers, mystics, each with their own criteria have attempted to solve the riddles.  Moulana however cast a different look on the subject.  Firstly he maintains that determinism and freewill like any other philosophical problem is disputable and discussion over it is endless.  Secondly he illustrates that for practical reasons both problems are required by man and depending on his need, man sometimes inclines towards one or the other.  Thirdly, since he looks at the problem from the pluralistic or dualistic perspective as a rational philosopher and a free thinker he justifies free will and from a monotheistic perspective, as a mystic believing in monotheism, confronting him he sees a determinism which is the same as free will and superior to that which he calls .
