Nothing occurs, either in the earth or in yourselves, without its
being in a Book before We make it happen. That is something easy for
Allah. (Surat al-Hadid, 22)
You have asked from Allah about durations of life already set, and the
length of days already allotted and the sustenance the share of which
has been fixed. Allah would not do anything earlier before itsdue
time, or He would notdelay anything beyond itsdue time. (Muslim)
Destiny is flowing in favorof Islam. For example, haddestiny been
going the antichrist's way, then no matter how much we strove, whether
we had 7,000 channels, 70,000 radio stations of hundredsof thousands
of professorson our side, we would stillbe defeated. Destiny would
work that way. Butsince Allah has ordained the victory of the way of
the Mahdi, since that is destined, you will still wineven if there are
only 12 of you. (A9 TV, April 18, 2012)
Following The Destiny Is A Great Ease For All Muslims
There is no creature on the earth which is not dependent upon Allah
for its provision. He knows where it lives and where it dies. They are
all in a Clear Book. (Surah Hud, 6)
Destiny is Allah's perfect knowledge of all events past or future, as
if a single moment. This expresses the absolute sovereignty of Allah
over all beings and events. People can be aware of a certain event
when they experience it. But Allah knows all events prior to their
occurrence. For Allah,past, present and future are all the same. They
are all within the knowledge of Allah since He is the One Who creates
them.
For a Muslim, encountering various suffering and difficulties in daily
life is both a trial and a means by which he can make comparison with
the rewards he hopes to attain in Paradise. It is a source of great
pleasure that will bederived from the comparison of hardship and ease,
comfort and relief. Also for a sincere Muslim it is a beauty that will
be instrumental in earning other Muslims' appreciation and love when
they see them in the infinite life. These trials are blessings which
offer many benefits and beauties; by Allah's leave they become
instrumentalin making believers draw closer to Allah. Unbelievers, on
the other hand, secretly or sometimes openly appreciate them.
A person who thinks that an incident he encounters is not
"preordained" is intensively under satan's influence. Satan's
influence may cause such delusions and a person's coming to such a
state that lowers one's rank in Allah's Sight pleases satan.Under the
satan's influence, deeming that a seemingly trivial issue is not
preordained and is thus out of Allah's mercy, knowledge and plan or
totally forgetting this totally is a disease. A Muslim must
cautiously, meticulously treat this disease and avoid contracting this
malady.
As the verse, "Indeed, all things We created with predestination."
(Surat al-Qamar, 49) also suggests, every thing in the world is part
of that destiny. The majority of people do not give a moment's
consideration to the nature of destiny, and, thus, fail to
recognizethat it is Allah's infinite might that exists behind this
flawless order. Some consider that destiny encompasses only human
beings. However, everything in the universe, from the furniture in
your home, toa pebble on the road, or a dried-up weed, a fruit or ajar
on the super-market shelf, are all part of the destiny predetermined
byAllah. The fate of every created thing has been determined within
the infinite wisdom of Allah.
…He knows everything in the land and sea. No leaf falls without His
knowing it. There is no seed in the darkness of the earth, and nothing
moist or dry which is not in a Clear Book. (Surat al-An'am, 59)
For instance there is goodness in all events such as missing a
favorite TV show or forgetting to order food. Sometimes people can see
the wisdom in them with all their details but sometimes they fail to
seethem totally or can only see some part of it. For instance he
misses a TV show but during this timehe earns some time for rendering
a service in the way of Allah or devoting some time to ponder upon
Allah. As a result of this reflection he may attain some understanding
that will increase his strength of service for the rest of his life.
Alternatively during this time he remembers Allah and earns rewards
incomparably greater than the rewards he attains by watching TV. When
he forgets placing an order for food, this may turn out to be a diet
that will be instrumental in curing his sickness. If a person with
high blood pressure forgets to purchase cheese and doesnot eat cheese
that day, then his tension returns to normal levels. He engages in a
good act that earns Allah's admiration because he puts his trust in
Allah and thinks for the good. :->
