As well written encyclopedia needs a writer, well made inter-related universe need a Maker.
When we open the encyclopedia, we follow its Will how to read things, but we are free to absorb and use the information till the Professor asks us to sit in exam for an eventual result.
Living in a universe made by God with double processes of creation plus guide evolution and the physical Laws, we are under the laws of God, we cannot stop earth's various motions, even we do not want to stop our heartbeat. If it stopped, we do our best to restart it [permission within Will of God] but if it do not restart [it is final Will of God]
Quran [ch3:v84]Do they seek a religion other than Allah’s, while to Him submits whosoever is in the heavens and the earth, willingly or unwillingly, and to Him shall they be returned?
Will of God is His commandments and directives which are for the good of people themselves. Will of God is not something which create fear and terror. It helps , it resolve problems, it eases life:
--- require people to do good,
--- remove fears and grieves of life,
--- makes one friend of God.
--- grant the station to a person that his or her requests / prayers are answered.
--- mercy of God is with those who listen to God.
As mentioned in following verses.
[2:113] Nay, whoever submits himself completely to Allah, and is the doer of good, shall have his reward with his Lord. No fear shall come upon such, neither shall they grieve.
[4:126] And who is better in faith than he who submits himself to Allah, and he is a doer of good, and follows the religion of Abraham, the upright? And Allah took Abraham for a special friend.
[2:187]And when My servants ask thee about Me, say: ‘I am near. I answer the prayer of the supplicant when he prays to Me. So they should hearken to Me and believe in Me, that they may follow the right way.’
[21:91] So We heard his prayer and bestowed upon him John and cured his wife for him. They used to vie with one another in good works and they called on Us in hope and in fear, and they humbled themselves before Us.
[7:57]And create not disorder in the earth after it has been set in order, and call upon Him in fear and hope. Surely, the mercy of Allah is nigh unto those who do good.

Inventions comes with instruction manuals, which tells the allowed capacity, allowed range of voltage etc. If we operate things within limits we get benefit or otherwise.....Here we follow Will of companies for our own good.
Free Will is not fully free. We have limitations , e.g. we cannot raise two legs simultaneously without external help, no matter how much we desire.
Living in a country require to submit to laws made by people. If one does not like a law, one has mountains to climb before on change it. Practically Free Will is a desire only. Some times one get a brain stroke, he keeps lying on bed, his Free Will desire he should extend arm or leg, but nothing moves due to paralysis........ We are not really Free.
Besides if such Free Will is there, life will not be able to continue. Things will eat-up each others. Restrictions are needed. [i.e. Will of State]
God in 'my brand of' Islam [Ahmadiyya Muslims] is Truely Worthy of Worship, One with no associates, Has all pure Attributes, Does not have any weakness, Is Source of all Blessings, His worship tells to pay rights of creation too.
Good wishes.
