Abstract

Pre-world`s life determination of human destiny, inherent happiness and disaster always has been rejected by those believing in human`s free will. But apparently such a determination is in agreement with some Quranic and traditional texts. In this paper it has been intended to offer an explanation and solution supporting pre-determination and free will both. This paper has compared Allame Tabatabaei and Tafkik school (Mojtaba Qazvini, Hasanali Morvarid, Mohamad Bagher Maleki Mianji`s opinions) in the field. The people of the afore mentioned views have accepted Shi`a opinion, a modest view far from being accepted by the two conflict sides. In other word, they have accepted pre-world`s life determination not contrary to free will. In this way, they have accepted accuracy and validity of the texts and quoted contents they explicated nature in pre-life. Confliction of two opinion clarify their method which they use in religious training to solve this (apparent) contradiction.
