The Role of God in History from the Perspective of the Holy Quran

The subject of historic figures has occupied the minds of scholars from the past; which wills are effective on the formation of events? Does the world progress according to God's predetermined schedule and human being has no impression on its changes or no one but human plays the role throughout the history? A wide range of views on the "role of God in history" may be identified: from absolute acceptance to absolute denial. I will try to explain the role of God in history from the perspective of the Holy Quran in this article, focusing on the historical events of Badr and Ohod as much as possible. Quran presents different roles for God throughout history but His role is somehow non-exclusive. He is in charge of different roles such as informative, independent and the roles through human's acts and will (inactive). This research will use descriptive-analytic and interpretive methods depending on the case.
