aware of everything to come for all the human beings He has created.
He Who knows all things as a single moment, shows us the infinite na-

ture of His might by creating limitless infinity of time in that single in-
finitely small instant. In the face of these scientific developments, be-
lievers must be aware that all knowledge belongs to Allah, its real and
only owner, as is revealed in the Qur'an:
They said, "Glory be to You! We have no knowledge except what You
have taught us. You are the All-Knowing, the All-Wise." (Surat al-
Baqara, 32)
He creates the lives of all human beings who have ever lived, to-
gether with all the details thereof. All events that may appear positive

or negative and that people will encounter from birth until the moment
of their death take place with Allah's knowledge. In Surat al-An'am, we
are informed that everything that happens in the world, both great and
small, does so at Allah's choosing:
The keys of the Unseen are in His possession. No one knows them but
Him. He knows everything in the land and sea. No leaf falls without
His knowing it. There is no seed in the darkness of the Earth, and noth-
ing moist or dry which is not in a Clear Book. (Surat al-An'am, 59)
This applies to everyone and everything. Nobody can intervene in
the destiny created for them by Allah, nor make the slightest alteration
in the course of events. For example, Allah has created everyone and
everything with a specific life span; and the moment, place, time, and
form of that death are already set out in His Sight. When a person falls

ill, that too has been determined billions of years before they were ev-
er born. Whether they will recover from that illness is also set out in
their destiny. Everything that can play a part in their recovery--doctors,
nurses, hospitals, drugs and therapies--have all been written down be-
forehand in His sight. Therefore, if a person recovers, that does not
mean that they changed their destiny, but that recovery was ordained
beforehand.
