We know in Islam, Allah has timed everything, from born, to how much will you earn and how ane when you die. When a doctor mistreat a patient or gave them a wrong medicine, they die or get so ill that there health won't be the same anyone. Is that written in his qadr? or someone who commit suicide e.g someone who is doing well financially and then something happens in life and they commit suicide, all of these sudden instance or mistake causes person to die, so does mean it was there time and Allah has writthen for them to die in such a way? Today while in hospital, I was given something that made my blood pressure drop so much that I was almost fainted and bright light was so much that I was looking in sun, but later I got ok, so that question is in my head as my mother in law died by hands of doctor too few years back, while I say it was qadr but my wife say it was mistake of doctor and she would have been alive if doctor took her seriously

I had an argument with a friend who wanted me to logically or with a reference tell him, that if Allah has decided everything for us. E.g, if I pick a glass and put it at another place, if that is decided (as Qur'an says, that our life has been written), then where is the free will because our fate has been decided, i.e., if Allah has given us free will, then how can we say that everything we do in life is already written? In the same context, why do we have angels on our shoulders writing down every thing wrong and good, if Allah knows our intention and already decided our fate even before we were born
Is there any reference or Ayah or Hadith regarding it?

According to Islam, has my future husband already been fixed from the day I born? Or will it change according to my decisions?

When going on Hajj or Umrah, the concept of 'you are invited by Allah' has grown in popularity especially in south asian countries, but speaking of south asian countries, the traditions of innovation is also very strong and binding it to islam which becomes a shrik, but my question is, does Islam has a concept of making someone selected to perform umrah or Hajj? e.g. I couldn't go on same flight as my wife so she performed Umrah with kids and her brother, but when I reached and did umrah, and came back. My spouse said > We weren't destined to do Umrah together, it was written to do with my brother and kids This was hurtful and felt egoistic of her so my question is, 'Do people get invited/selected by Allah to perform umrah or Hajj'? What about those who cannot do it with family, are their fate also written to do it alone?

I suffer from depression, anxiety and OCD. A scholar told me to believe in tawakkul of Allah. Can you explain what that is and how does it relate to my mental health please?

i am in love with a guy . i went to a person as i was having a problem . he told me to forget the person as you wont be able to marry him ...he is not in your qadr alllah tallah says dua changes qadr ..so if make dua to get marrying that particular person with full faith and belief ... is it permissible ? and how can someone tell that a particular thing is not in your qadr when allah has promised that dua can change qadr

Selam aleikum, I saw this Hadith on a topic about predestination: > And the Prophet (r) also said, “The first thing that Allaah created was the Pen and He said to it, ‘Write!’ It (the Pen) asked, ‘O Lord! What shall I write?’ He said, ‘Write the Decree of everything (that will occur) until the Hour is established.“ (Sunan Abu Dawud, vol. 3, p. 1317, no. 4683 and authenticated by al-Albaanee in Sharh al- ‘Aqeedah at-Tahaawiyyah, p. 264 and in as-Silsilah, vol. 1, no. 207) So it says, write the events until the Day of Jugdement, as i understand it. But I read from two sources, that they call this Eternal Decree, but the phrase „until the Hour“, wouldn’t that be limited to a specific term? The Sources: > https://www.muslim-library.com/dl/books/english_Predestination_Qadar.pdf >https://yaqeeninstitute.org/justin-parrott/reconciling-the-divine-decree-and-free-will-in-islam Does every scholar consider it this way (so it just also contains the events until the Hour and more than that) or did I misunderstood it?

I grew up completely non practising, borderline agnostic. However as of late I have came to Islam with full certainty. Looking back, it has been beautiful. I’m aware that my question is rather black and white, but hear me out. I literally can’t love anyone fully. I have extremely shallow emotions, I am cold and uncaring of other people in general, and have a ridiculous hunger for power. Religion detracts me from these things but it is still innate within myself. I am aware this life is a test but why is it in my nature to be everything Islam goes against? I don’t understand. Will I get punished in the hearafter for traits I was born with?

In these verses of the Qur'an, they imply that our fate is pre-destined. > He is the Knower of the unseen. Not an atom's weight escapes Him, be it in the heavens or the earth, nor what is smaller than that or larger. All are but in a clear Record. 34:3 >With Him are the keys to the unseen. None knows them except Him. He knows what is on land and in the sea. No leaf falls without Him knowing thereof, nor is there a grain in the darkness of the earth, nor anything wet or dry that is not recorded in a clear Book. 6:59 >We have kept count of everything in a Record. 78:29 >No disaster falls in the land, or to yourselves that is not already contained in a Record before We bring it into existence. This is easy for God. 57:22 This makes me think that I am determined to go to either Heaven or Hell, without any free will. If Allah (AZZAWAJAL) records everything in a tablet, then we cannot change it. Is this view correct, or false?

**(1).The People Committing Suicide in Hell.** > - "He gives life and causes death, and to Him you will be returned."**(Surat Yūnus,verse56)** - "... When Abraham said, "My Lord is the one who gives life and causes death" ..."**(Surat Al-Baqarah, verse 258)** - "But whoever kills a believer intentionally - his recompense is Hell, wherein he will abide eternally, and Allah has become angry with him and has cursed him and has prepared for him a great punishment."**(Surat An-Nisā', verse 93)** - "...if anyone slew a person - unless it be for murder or for spreading mischief in the land - it would be as if he slew the whole people: and if anyone saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of the whole people..."**(Surat Al-Mā'idah, verse 32)** **(2). The God Has Already Decided One's Death (How and When), Even Before He/She Was Born in this World** When you combine these two points you will get The God has already decided who will be in hell before He/She is even Born. This actually is a question asked by a friend of mine, but I'm clueless. Can Anybody Give Me Any Explanations, Instead of just Down-voting.?

In my masjid, they used to recite Surah Yasin three times on the shab-e-barat night, under the belief that it would change their fate. Is this true? If so, please provide relevant ahadith supporting this practice.

Selam aleikum, This is a question about the linguistic und rhetoric usage of words in the Quran. In reading the Quran I often come across words, which are repeated twice successively, one time in noun and one time in adjective/adverb. There are some examples, for now there is only two, which comes to my mind: > And ever is the command of Allah a destiny decreed. (33:38 , Saheeh International) Literally: > and God`s order/command was/is a predestiny predestined/estimated. (... qadaran maqdooran ...) Example 2: > and He placed between them a barrier and prohibiting partition. (25:53 , Saheeh International) Literally: > He made/put between them (B) a barrier and (an) obstruction obstructed. (wahijran mahjooran) There were other examples, which I read. I hope you all know, what I mean here. So my question is, how is this understood as a stylistic device in the language of Arabic to double a word? Is this meant as an increase of the intensity of what is meant? And especially in this example of „predestiny predestined“, why twice?

How can one understand the relationship between freewill and destiny? We accept Allah (swt) has both written our destiny and has simultaneously given us freewill. Given our premise is correct, it is obvious the latter will consequently be devoid of any kind of value (destiny > freewill) I suspect my personal failure to solve this problem is my definition/perception of destiny itself. To further clarify my queries, I will more or so present scenario.... If an individual was not able to, say get an education, after repeated number of attempts to do so- who would he/she take responsible for their inability to receive an education? Will it be destiny (Qadr) or will be their incapability in the sphere of freewill? As Allah (swt) states that he bestows education to those who seek it, and bestows wealth to whom he wishes. Regards, DK

Nothing happens without Almighty's wish.If a person wish death for other person or his own will the person die? or he will die when his time arrives? Can a person die before his time arrives? Can a person delay his death? Please answer....

God is Almighty and knows what is going to happen in the future. I watched this video by Shabir Ally: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BRWfDUoYsFQ and it started confusing me. We can never truly know God's intentions or whether Hell is eternal or not, but I'm starting to think it isn't. I think it just seemed more logical to me. I read these questions and answers: https://islam.stackexchange.com/questions/57522/is-there-any-sect-in-islam-that-dont-believe-hell-is-eternal https://islam.stackexchange.com/questions/31276/are-there-any-islamic-schools-of-thought-that-reject-the-literal-hell They talk about ibn Arabi and I read there was someone else who had a view that it wasn't eternal too. I've read somewhere that people will go to Hell eternally, because if they could live eternally they would sin eternally but then that leads to a question on the attributes of God because how is God _just_ if someone is doomed to eternal torture. God could have not created them in the first place or just created another reality where he didn't have to suffer eternally. Yes, if God just sent whoever to Hell and Heaven straight away people would question so this is why life is a trial, but sent to eternal hell? Then I watched a video of where it says if God knows everything where is the test, but the answer still wasn't satisfying. Hell is supposed to cleanse us but eternal Hell is torture not cleansing. If sins on this Earth are finite then infinite punishment/torture can't be justified and you can't reconcile that idea with the idea that it's meant to cleanse us. God is omniscient and predestines us so how is eternal Hell justified? Edit: Just found another link which talks about the subject but still doesnt answer it: https://islam.stackexchange.com/questions/7161/how-can-god-create-without-determining-the-outcome

Is it true that dua and keeping one's kin close could extend one's lifespan? Inversely, could severing one's relationships be a cause for someone's early demise? Ajal'ul qada' and ajal'ul qadar? For example, if a person commits suicide, does the person die earlier than the predestined time of death?

Up until now, I always believed, without actually being curious about its evidence or source, that the pillars of faith in Islam is six: Having faith (imaan) in Allah, the Day of Resurrection, the Angels, the Scripture, the Prophets, and Qadar (faith, predestination). Recently, I was listening to a scholar, whom I am familiar with, and he claimed that the sixth—so called—pillar is highly dubious. I found his arguments quite convincing. His argument was that this concept appears in Quran three times, and in each one only five of them are mentioned: > It is not Al-Birr (piety, righteousness, and each and every act of > obedience to Allah, etc.) that you turn your faces towards east and > (or) west (in prayers); but Al-Birr is (the quality of) **the one who > believes in Allah, the Last Day, the Angels, the Book, the Prophets** > and gives his wealth, in spite of love for it, to the kinsfolk, to the > orphans, and to Al-Masakin (the poor), and to the wayfarer, and to > those who ask, and to set slaves free, performs As-Salat > (Iqamat-as-Salat), and gives the Zakat, and who fulfill their covenant > when they make it, and who are As-Sabirin (the patient ones, etc.) in > extreme poverty and ailment (disease) and at the time of fighting > (during the battles). Such are the people of the truth and they are > Al­Muttaqun [**2:177, Translation: Mohsin Khan**] > > > To Allah belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on the > earth, and whether you disclose what is in your ownselves or conceal > it, Allah will call you to account for it. Then He forgives whom He > wills and punishes whom He wills. And Allah is Able to do all things. > (284) The Messenger [Muhammad SAW] believes in what has been sent down > to him from his Lord, and (so do) the believers. Each one believes in > Allah, His Angels, His Books, and His Messengers. They say, “We make > no distinction between one another of His Messengers" - and they say, > "We hear, and we obey. (We seek) Your Forgiveness, our Lord, and to > You is the return (of all).” [**2:284-285, Translation: Mohsin Khan**] > > > O you who believe! **Believe in Allah, and His Messenger (Muhammad SAW), > and the Book (the Quran) which He has sent down to His Messenger, and > the Scripture which He sent down to those before (him), and whosoever > disbelieves in Allah, His Angels, His Books, His Messengers, and the > Last Day**, then indeed he has strayed far away. [**4:136, Translation: > Mohsin Khan**] He further mentioned that, this concept appears in hadith literature as what is known as the *Jibreel hadith*. But, he says, in Buhari, the concept of qadar is not mentioned; in Muslim, there are three versions, and, again, two of them do not mention qadar. To make himself clear, the scholar repeatedly emphasized that the concept of qadar is, of course, mentioned the Quran, and one is obliged to believe in it. (That everything happens with the Will of Allah, and Allah knows everything is every sense: past, future, etc.) But, he also mentioned that the concept of Quranic *qadar* is never in the sense of predestination, but in the sense of “Allah doing things with His boundless wisdom and measure (or, not doing anything randomly).” ---------- [This is a personal note: I think one of the points of the scholar is that is *six-package* is without evidence: Quran mentions five of them, the texts are not consistent with each other and not consistent with the Quran. And if we are to enumerate the things that we are obliged to have faith in, one can come with several others: The Perfect Attributes of Allah, etc.] ---------- The scholar also quoted from the Quran that predestination was the “excuse” of some of the unbelievers: “We are unbelievers because Allah willed so ...” ---------- Question -------- **Are there, apart from the Jibreel hadith, evidence that the pillars of imaan is six? (Repeat: I am not asking whether we should believe in qadar or not.)**

Salam, I am a developer, we use Agile approach at work, one of the rules is to be able to give estimations for when a task will be done. Managers are claiming that it is just an "estimation" but in the same time they ask super precise estimation. The concept of **Incha'Allah** seams to not be used, And I am wondering if it is still fine to work on this kind of tasks, is it "Allowed" ? Salam

On one hand, I've learned that our destiny is fixed and does not change. On the other hand, I've learned a concept called "dua" which I use to talk to Allah, complaining and such. So would my "dua" change my destiny? If not, what's the use?

**Assalamu Alaikum.** My doubt is regarding making duas. We have been known that Allah has knowledge of our present and our past and everything which happened and will happen has been recorded or written in a clear record (Al‑Lawh Al‑Mahfooz) > *“And with Him are the keys of the Ghayb (all that is hidden), none knows them but He. And He knows whatever there is in the land and in the sea; not a leaf falls, but He knows it. There is not a grain in the darkness of the earth nor anything fresh or dry, but is written in a **Clear Record**” [[al-An’aam 6:59](https://quran.com/6/59/)]* > > *“No calamity befalls on the earth or in yourselves but it is inscribed in the **Book of Decrees** (Al‑Lawh Al‑Mahfooz) before We bring it into existence. Verily, that is easy for Allaah” [[al-Hadeed 57:22](https://quran.com/57/22/)]* If everything has already been recorded and has been happening based on it. then why should one need to make duas? Just consider this an example. If I had a wish to buy a car by next month. I prayed to Allah to make my wish come true. there are two possibilities. either I get it or I won't. if I buy it, its because Allah accepted my dua and Allah has already willed to make my dua come true. and the other possibility is, I won't buy it and because Allah had never willed to happen. Even another person, just like me had a wish to buy a car, but he never prayer, still to him there are two possibilities: either he buys it because Allah willed to make it happen, or else he won't buy because Allah wouldn't have willed to make it happen. I mean all these are already been recorded in the **book of decrees (Al‑Lawh Al‑Mahfooz)** then what's the point in making dua, as everything will only happen based on it? And there is a hadith which says that nothing of our deeds, actions, and livelihood will be going to be different as nothing could be added or subtracted from our destiny. **[Sahih Muslim, Book of destiny, hadith no. 6392](https://www.sunnah.com/muslim/46/3)** > *Hudhaifa b. Usaid reported directly from Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) that lie said: When the drop of (semen) remains in the womb for forty or fifty (days) or forty nights, the angel comes and says: My Lord, will he be good or evil? And both these things would be written. Then the angel says: My Lord, would he be male or female? And both these things are written. And his deeds and actions, his death, his livelihood; these are also recorded. Then his document of destiny is rolled and there is no, addition to and subtraction from it.*
