I read in some stories, literary works and journalistic articles the
phrase "circumstances willed" or "circumstances dictated", or "fate
decreed". What is the ruling on these phrases?
Praise be to Allaah.
These are inappropriate phrases, because circumstances and fate do not
have a will.
The great scholar Muhammad ibn 'Uthaymeen (may Allaah preserve him)
was asked about these phrases, and said:
" 'Fate willed' or 'circumstances willed/dictated' are reprehensible
phrases, because the Arabic word for circumstances,zuroof, is the
plural ofzarf, which is another word for time – and time does not have
a will. Similarly, fate does not have a will either.
The One Who does have a will is Allaah. If a person says 'the decree
of Allaah dictated such and such', there is nothing wrong with that.
But it is not correct to attribute will to decrees, because the will
does not belong to the description, it belongs to the One Who is
described."Majmoo' Fataawa wa Rasaa'il Muhammad ibn 'Uthaymeen,
3/131-132

*- WHAT ISLAM SAYS -*

Islam is a religion of Mercy, Peace and Blessing. Its teachings emphasize kind hear tedness, help, sympathy, forgiveness, sacrifice, love and care.Qur’an, the Shari’ah and the life of our beloved Prophet (SAW) mirrors this attribute, and it should be reflected in the conduct of a Momin.Islam appreciates those who are kind to their fellow being,and dislikes them who are hard hearted, curt, and hypocrite.Recall that historical moment, when Prophet (SAW) entered Makkah as a conqueror. There was before him a multitude of surrendered enemies, former oppressors and persecutors, who had evicted the Muslims from their homes, deprived them of their belongings, humiliated and intimidated Prophet (SAW) hatched schemes for his murder and tortured and killed his companions. But Prophet (SAW) displayed his usual magnanimity, generosity, and kind heartedness by forgiving all of them and declaring general amnesty...Subhanallah. May Allah help us tailor our life according to the teachings of Islam. (Aameen)./-
