Aslam

Praise be to Allah.Belief in destiny and fate is one of the basic beliefs

of Islam. It means that Allaah is the Knower of all things and the Creator of all things;

nothing exists outside of His will and decree. He wrote down all things with Him in al-Lawh

al-Mahfooz (the Preserved Tablet), and this was fifty thousand years before He created

the universe. Everything in the universe, every creature and the things it does, is the

creation of Allaah. Whatever He wills happens, and whatever He does not will does not

happen. If something happens to a person, it could not have missed him, and if something

does not happen to him, it could not have happened to him. A person is not forced to obey

or disobey Allaah – he has free will as befits his state, but it is subject to the

will of the Creator. And Allaah knows best..
