According to my understanding (which may be ill-informed) of Islam,
Allah has the power to change His own will. However, Christians believe
in--and have argued strongly for--the immutability of God. He is the
Unchanging Changer, according to Christians. How would Muslims respond
to the argument that God is changeless? For example, the Christian
philosopher Edward Feser has written Five Proofs for the Existence of God wherein he argues for the immutability/changelessness of the Creator?
If you know of any good books on Muslim metaphysics that would enlighten me, feel free to tell me about them. But they have to free or cheap. |

Brother First of all, Allah Himself said, That whatever Allah Wills, He Just say "Kun" & It happens. Secondly, Neither we are allowed to question about the domain which is out of our knowledge nor these Discussions are fruitfull. We accept Allah's attributes as He informed us, We don't question it nor put our Brains into it, as it doesn't benefits in any manner. So, what should our concerns be, is, we are given the abilities to change our Wills. So, let us change wherever we are wronging our selves. :)

Allah's will is transient , The Holy Imam (A.S.) has proven the accuracy of badaa in which Ahl
al-Bayt (A.S.) believe by first quoting the Holy Qur'an, for Allah
Almighty said, "So leave them alone, for you shall not be blamed for
that,"(Sura Az-Zariyat,Ayah 54) meaning thereby that He intends to
annihilate them, then the Almighty, according to the badaa theory, He
has said, "So remind, for reminding may avail the believers,"(Sura
Az-Zariyat,Ayah 55) which indicates a shift from the first decision as
observed from studying the context of both verses. Second, he tries to
prove it by traditions narrated from his forefathers from the Messenger
of Allah (S.A.W.) who said: "God sent his wahi(revelation) to one of His
prophets to inform him that he would die on a particular day, and when
that prophet was told so, he pleaded God, the King, while on his bed,
saying, `Lord! Postpone my demise till I see my son growing up to carry
out my will,' till he fell from his bed, whereupon God sent his wahi
again to the same prophet to inform him that He decided to postpone
it."It is apparent that badaa in the meaning which we indicated requires
no alarm whatsoever and it does not justify waging a campaign of
defamation to those who believe in it.
