Harun Yahya (Adnan Oktar)

Everything in the universe continues its existence according the
fate that Allah has given it. As He reveals in the Qur'an:
We have created all things in due measure. (Surat al-
Qamar, 49)
A person will live his life as Allah has determined. For ex-
ample, it is determined beforehand where he will err, where he
will be successful and unsuccessful and, when the time comes,
he will live every moment of what has been determined for him.
No matter what he does, he cannot escape this fate. If Allah has
determined that he will commit the same error 500 times, he can
do nothing either to increase or decrease that number—he will
repeat that same error exactly 500 times. Under such circum-
stances, it would make no sense to claim that an individual
knew what was best and did it while still in error.
But people of no faith, who are deluded to think that the uni-
verse came to be through a chance occurrence, cannot accept this
plain fact. As a result they believe that they can exert an influence
over others. This distorted thinking leads them to great efforts to
prove themselves. They must appear intelligent, and everyone
must think that they know everything about everything.
For example, for someone to be called an economic expert,
that person must give correct answers to every question he is
asked on this subject. To do so, he must read and follow current
events day and night. A person supposed to know about history
must know every detail about some important event and whom
it affected. Again, this would require years of effort. Someone
who claims to excel at sports must train for hours every day, win
every competition and, if necessary, shunt his friends, family
and social life to the background.
