Example sentence

كَثِيرٌ مِنَ النَّاسِ غَلَطُوا فِي فَهْمِ الْقَضَاءِ وَالْقَدَرِ

Many people have erred in their understanding of the divine decree and predestination.

وَالْقَدَرِ and the predestination

The wa- links a second owned topic and the al- makes it definite, while it stays genitive within the same 'of' pairing. It pairs predestination with decree as the twin subjects of the error, both governed by the head noun 'understanding'.

قَالَ أَنْ تُؤْمِنَ بِاَللَّهِ وَمَلَائِكَتِهِ وَكُتُبِهِ وَرُسُلِهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ، وَتُؤْمِنَ بِالْقَدَرِ خَيْرِهِ وَشَرِّهِ

He said: 'It is to believe in Allah, His angels, His books, His messengers, the Last Day, and to believe in predestination, its good and its bad.'

بِالْقَدَرِ in predestination

A preposition 'in' fused with a noun bearing al- ('the'). It supplies the object of the second 'believe', putting that noun into the (genitive) ending. So this single word both marks definiteness and channels the belief onto its object, predestination.
