Quotes About Free Will

“Why does God let the tyrant perform his tyranny, the murderer to murder and the robber to rob? It is because God wants us to be free, and freedom requires the possibility of doing wrong. There is no meaning in freedom if we do not have the right to experiment, err, and do what is right, and to choose between sinning and being virtuous.

Dr. Mustafa Mahmud

“If you want to understand a human being, look at his action during a moment of free choice, and you will be surprised. You may see a saint committing adultery, a prostitute praying, a doctor drinking poison. You may see your friend stabbing you and your enemy saving you, and you may see a servant mighty in status by his actions, and a master baser than the basest servant by his works.

Dr. Mustafa Mahmud

“I have no way other than to choose; I have to choose at every moment, and if I refrain from choosing, this refrain itself is a type of choice.

Dr. Mustafa Mahmud

“Do not look at what the faces paint. And do not listen to what the tongues say. And do not become concerned with tears. All of these are part of the shell of the human, and he changes his shell every day. Look for what's beyond the shell. And this of course is not the heart, for the heart turns upside down easily. And it is not the mind, for he changes his viewpoint whenever the angel changes. Always look at the moment when he uses his freedom of choice.
