I don't want this to offend anybody. I'm simply curious and want an answer. I know that in the Quran there are prophecies. However, the explanation I often find as to why people can commit evil acts is due to free will. Does the existence of prophecies not mean that all behavior is predetermined and that free will doesn't truly exist? Once again this is just a question and I do not mean to offend anybody in any way.
