Distinguishing between Creating and Acting; an Incomplete Theory for Escaping of Jabr and Tafwiz

In the history of human thought, there are many answers to the question of man acting and the explanation of the relationship between God's will and human will, and it brought about different views. Among the Islamic denominations also there are some people who, with an emphasis on the dominance of the Divine will and with negation of human acting, went to determinism, and the other group, in order to hold the actual activity of man, went to Tafwiz (that means that God do not intervene in human acts). Among the Ahl al-Hadith Group, by distinguishing between "act" and "acted", some people tried to find a solution for this old problem. This theory believes that although the human acts are created and acted by God, they are not his acts, but they are actually counted as human acts. It seems that considering the Ahl al-Hadith bases in the Acting issue, this attempt is still deterministic.
