SIGNS OF THE END TIMES IN SURAT AL-KAHF


                                          the related circumstances, your survival,
                                          the severity of your injuries, and how long
                                          your treatments will last are all written in
                                          your destiny. You are still alive because that
                                          was your destiny. In other words, you did
                                          not "cheat" or "defeat" destiny, for your des-
                                          tiny cannot be changed. If you believe that
                                          it can be changed, you are only kidding
                                          yourself. It is yet again in their destiny to
                                          believe so. Destiny is the science of Allah,
                                          Who knows all times as the same moment,
                                          Who governs all space and time.
                                            As a result, on the Day of Judgment peo-
                                          ple will find every one of their actions,
                                          words, and intentions brought before
                                          them. By the will of our Lord, long-forgot-
                                          ten details will be revealed. People might
                                          think that one of their evil or hurtful acts
                                          will be forgotten over time, but this is not
                                          the case with Allah, for to Him what hap-
                                          pens on the Day of Judgment and what
                                          happened thousands of years ago exist
                                          within the same moment. And so it is a
                                          grave mistake to think that one’s deeds will
                                          remain secret or be forgotten, or that they
                                          will never confront them again.





                                                The train’s past locations on the way, as
                                          well as its present and future locations, are all
                                              known and occur in the same moment in
                                                                    Allah’s presence.
