Redhouse says: Qader, ( Providence, > is the Islamic word which Europeans so unjustly translate by the terms < fate ) and ( destiny. * Islam utterly abhors those old pagan ideas, and reposes on God's providence alone; which some will say is the same thing. The terms qaza. And qismet, quasi-synonyms of qadr and qader, mean, the former, God's decree, the latter one's allotted portion. Both may correctly be translated by our term dispensation. True that astrologers, dervishes, and poets talk about the Sphere (Felek) as ruling or influencing sub- lunary events. To Islam, this is either rank paganism and blasphemy, or a special application of the admitted truism that here below God acts through secondary causes. ** In these poems Fate and the Sphere are frequently mentioned, some- times even prayed to ; the Sphere especially being often spoken of as bringing good or evil in its revolutions. But such expressions are no more to be regarded as true declarations of the poet's belief than are his repeated calls for wine to be looked upon as indicating a desire for the actual juice of the grape.
