The Relationship between Inerrancy and Free Will

In the Kalam terminology, “inerrancy” (al-’ismah) means to prevent and protect against sin, and “inerrant” is one who is prevented and protected against sin. “Free will” means the effectiveness of human will in his/her act. In this writing we examine the place of free will in the acts of the inerrant (AS). We suppose that the inerrancy of the inerrant has various aspects and dimensions. By separating the domain of inerrancy, the author explained the place of free will in each of these aspects. According to the most important results of this research, the existence of free will in the cases of immunity of mistakes could not be objectively reflected. But in the arena of immunity of sin, the free will is completely possible and the misgivings of the antagonists regarding the determined inerrancy for the inerrant are incorrect.
