Every existing
thing is created
with a destiny.
Even before a vase
is manufactured, it
is determined in
God's sight who
will make it and in
what style, who
will buy it and
from where, in
what house and in
what corner it will
be placed, and on
what day, in what
moment and why
it will fall and be
broken.
of God. For example, at this moment, a person is in the fetal stage, at primary school and at the university.
These are all in God's memory as one single moment, along with the moment he celebrates his thirty-fifth
birthday, the first day he begins his job, the moment when he sees the angels after he dies, the moment
when he is buried, and the moment on the Last Day when he will give an account to God.
Consequently, it is pointless to worry and be fearful about a life whose every moment has been lived,
experienced and is still present in the memory of God. No matter how hard a person tries and no matter
how anxious he may be, everyone, his children, spouse, friends and relatives will live the life that is present
at God's sight.
If this is the case, a person of conscience and intelligence who grasps this reality must submit humbly to
God and to the destiny He has created. Actually, everyone is already in submission to God, created in sub-
servience to Him. No matter whether he likes it or not, he lives subservient to the destiny created for him by
God. A person who denies his destiny is a denier because being a denier is written in his destiny.
Those who submit themselves willingly to God may hope to enjoy God's pleasure and mercy and to
win paradise; they will live a life of well being in security and happiness both in this world and in the world
to come. This is because, for a person who submits himself to God, knowing that there is nothing better for
him than the destiny created for him by God, there is nothing to fear or be anxious about. This person will
make every effort, but he knows that this effort is in his destiny and, no matter what he does, he will not
have the ability to change what is written in his destiny.
A believer will submit himself to the destiny created by God. In the face of what happens to him, he will
do his best to understand the purpose of these happenings, take precautions, and make an effort to change
