Allah Created Everyone
With A Destiny
At the beginning of the book, we
referred to how Allah created Adam,
peace be upon him. All human beings
are descended from him. Allah has
granted people life in this world to test
them, and sent them messengers to communicate
their responsibilities.
Everyone is put to the test in this world by the events he
experiences. In other words, we are put to the test in our reactions to
the incidents we encounter, the way we speak and our steadfastness in
the face of difficulties: In brief, whether we conduct ourselves correctly.
This test will serve to determine our lot in
the afterlife.
But the test in this world has a very
important secret. As a great mercy and
comfort granted to mankind, Allah
Everything a person experiences
from his birth to his death is
determined by destiny. You can
think of this like a film strip. If we
take a film strip and look at it from a
distance, we can see the beginning,
middle and end of events at the
same time.
