قُدِرَ have been decreed

A passive past verb 'has been decreed' — the calamities receive the decreeing; an unnamed decreer does it. Arabic builds this passive by reshaping the verb's internal vowels rather than adding 'is/was', so it looks close to its active twin but flips the roles.

قُدِّرَ is decreed

A passive past verb: its inner vowels are shaped so the deciding is received, not done by a named decider, which is why English says 'is decreed'. Sitting inside the 'if' clause, it makes the whole supposition about something happening to the person rather than something they do.
