Facts About Destiny
As a matter of fact there are many signs in the Koran and many hadithes (notifications) of RasulAllah signifying that whatever befalls man regardless of whether in the past or at present is ordained in the (past) eternity (azal). We have clarified this theme in a wider and more realistic sense in related sections of our books "MYSTERIES OF HUMAN" and "REASONING (aql) and BELIEF (iman)".
I want to briefly mention now some of the signs (ayat) and some hadithes of RasulAllah instructing the fact of "DESTINY" (qadar):
"Yet you cannot will except by the will of ALLAH" (76:30)
"It is ALLAH who created you and all that you have made" (37:96)
"We have made all things according to a fixed degree" (54:49)
"There is not a moving creature on earth but Hu holds it by its forehead" (11:56)
"No evil befalls on the earth nor in your own souls, but it is in a book before we bring it into existence. So that you may not grieve for what has escaped you, nor be exultant at what Hu has given you." (57:22, 23)
After the translation of these signs, I shall now note two of RasulAllah's (peace be upon him) notifications, to mention only as examples:
"ALLAH has decreed the FATE of creation fifty thousand years before Hu created heavens and the earth!"
Tawus narrated that: "I have reached a lot of men among the companions (ashab) of RasulAllah (salla’llahu alayhi wasallam). They often mentioned that EVERYTHING IS COMMENSURATE WITH ITS DESTINY.
As I have heard from Ibn Omar, RasulAllah once notified":
"EVERYTHING IS BOUND TO ITS DESTINY! Even incapability, intelligence and cleverness!"
As we can see in Mohammed Mustafa’s (peace be upon him) explanations above, everything and all the phenomena that ever takes place till future eternity is ordained even at the absolute moment when the universe came into existence.
No thing and no one can change nor go against his or her fate!
Every person is bound to live his or her own qadar!
Besides, our main point that ALLAH is AHAD brings forth this phenomenon compulsorily and clearly as well.
Resulting from the lack of full comprehension of the fact that, "ALLAH is the ONE and only being alone and there exists no other thing apart from Hu," a lot of questions have risen over DESTINY and so many misconceptions have developed. Though the true understanding of "destiny" has been emphasized clearly and decisively many times in the signs communicated by Hazrat Mohammed (peace be upon him) and also in his notifications.
One of the many Islamic scholars (ulama) who point out that anything that befalls man is brought into existence unexceptionably under the decree of "fate" is Imam Ghazali, who explains the following in his book "The Revival of Religious Sciences" (Ihya-u Ulumid Din) section two, second volume, under the title of "Truth and Regulations" (Haqiqat and Shariat):
"That is because we confirm that all the evil, rebellion, adultery and even infidelity are only by the decree, will and wish of ALLAH-u Ta’ala, and all those are in fact purely veritable."
