Harun Yahya (Adnan Oktar)

Allah might test what is in your breasts and purge what is
in your hearts. Allah knows the contents of your hearts.
(Surah Al ‘Imran, 154)

As can be seen from this verse, even if people avoid an auspi-
cious, religious observance in order to save their lives, they will
still die if that is what is written in their destiny. The methods to
which such a person will resort in order to avoid death are also de-
termined in that destiny, and everyone will experience what has
been determined for them.
In this verse, Allah also states that the events created in peo-
ple’s destinies are intended to test them and cleanse their hearts. In
Surah Fatir, it is revealed that everyone’s life span is determined in
the Sight of Allah:
Allah created you from dust and then from a drop of sperm
and then made you into pairs. No female becomes preg-
nant or gives birth except with His knowledge. And no liv-
ing thing lives long or has its life cut short without that be-
ing in a Book. That is easy for Allah. (Surah Fatir, 11)

The following verses from Surat al-Qamar reveal that every-
thing a person does has been written line by line and relate the
events experienced by the people of Paradise as events which have
already occurred. As has already been stated, the true life in
Paradise is the future for us. However, the dis-
course, experiences and banquets in
Paradise are all present in the memory
of Allah. The future of all people in
this world and in the Hereafter
have taken place in a moment in
the Sight of Allah before we are
even born and are preserved
in His memory:
