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.
