Based on the verses of the Holy Qur'an, God's ubiquitous determination includes all phenomena, including man’s deeds, and this ubiquity raises the doubt of predestination. Drawing on analytical-descriptive method, this paper analyzes the role of various types of divine determination in man’s voluntary acts based on the verses of the Qur'an with emphasis on Allameh Misbah Yazdi’s viewpoint. The research results showed that although the low-level determinations related to genetic and environmental factors are effective in human beings’ choices, they do not keep them from having their free will. High-level determinations are not at the same level as human will and do not hinder man’s free will and choice. Although God's general and special determinations lead human beings to take on certain responsibilities, they do not deprive them of their free will.
