S Submission to Destiny
m
b
You should be aware that you are in a state of unconditional
submission to your own destiny. No power other than Allah can al-
ter this. Everything that you have experienced or will experience in
future is set out in the Sight of Allah, and you have no control over
your future. This book will leave your hands in a while, wrinkles
will appear on your face in a few years’ time, and all the details of
a film you will watch 15 years from now are all included in the
knowledge of Allah. The people you will meet, how much money
you will earn, which illnesses you will suffer, what you will rejoice
over and how and where you will die—all this has already taken
place in your own destiny.
The only reason why you do not know these things is that
they are not yet in your memory.
Everyone has surrendered un-
conditionally to their destiny.
Everything a person has and
will ever experience is deter-
mined in the sight of Allah,
and that individual has no
control over his or her own fu-
ture. For that reason, the best
thing to do is to be aware of
the destiny appointed for one
and to submit to Allah.
