             in their previous life. In other words, it was we ourselves who, in our
             previous lives, determined the fate we would have in our present
             lives.
                            However, it is Allah Who, before we are born, decides
                       a person's destiny, Who prepares everything that happens
                                           to us, and Who determines what these
                                           events will be and what kind of life we

                                           will have. The Qur’an tells us that


                                                  Every human being is born, grows up,
                                                  lives and dies. Everything that anyone
                                                  has ever or will ever experience, from
                                                  the first man right up to today, is part
                                                  of his destiny. Fate is the science of
                                                  Allah. Our Lord is the Creator Who
                                                  shapes all our destinies, Who pos-
                                                  sesses infinite might and knowledge.
                                                  For that reason, it is quite unneces-
                                                  sary for sincere believers to feel any
                                                  concerns about what has happened in
                                                  the past or will in the future. Allah cre-
                                                  ates everything to be auspicious for
                                                  his devout servants.
