Not even remotely. If he could know, then we can't choose. Doesn't matter if it wants to know, or even if it does. Thing is, free will is not as important a concept to islam as it is to christianity. Islams notion of divine reward is more transactionary in the sense that it's based on a list of acts. Doing the right thing, whether you want to or not...and even if you have to be forced to do so.
