However, clashes between God-man relationships create discussions and conflicts because of man incompatibility. Also, man encounters the justice of God between determination of predestination and free-will. Some believers believe predestination is adorn by God, and others believe it is held by man himself. Hence, the objective of the study is to explore the concept of free-will according to selected religious teachings like Hinduism, Buddhism and Islam, proceeds to discuss the similarities and dissimilarities of Karma respectively. Last, to analyse the understanding of Karma and, Qada’ and Qadar in order to vindicate understandings of predestination and free-will.

The results convey as to Hinduism and Buddhism, Karma is absolute and independently determined by man as to liberate oneself from misery and desire. To Hindusim, Karma is the result of past actions while to Budhhism Karma does not implement physical acts yet to mental. Islam through Qada’ and Qadar, believes God has reserved the predestination of human beings for a purpose, in fact the reason (‘aql) as a privilege from God, to man to choose the best options of his life.
