Do you believe in fate or destiny ?

Image
  Part 2 :  Belief in fate and destiny is one of the key beliefs in Islam. Allah is the creator of all things. He created the universe, He created time, and He wrote everything in the preserved tablet, Al-Lawh Al-Mahfuz. His knowledge encompasses all that was, all that is, and all that will ever be. He is the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate, and His wisdom is beyond our comprehension. Everything in existence submits to His will, and nothing happens without His decree. In His creation, there are signs for those who reflect, showing His power, His might, and His unparalleled greatness. The first principle which Islam lays down in regard to Taqdir is that man is neither completely the master of his fate nor is he bound to the blind law of predestination. So far as the sovereignty of Allah's Will is concerned, it is all-pervading and nothing falls outside its orbit. Not even a leaf, therefore, stirs without His Will. Qur’an says:  “No kind of calamity occurs except by A...

Fate or Destiny ?

Image
Part 1 :   Humans natural instinct is to dream about all what they want in life.. the position they wanna achieve, the partner they wanna have, the moments they wanna live, the things they wanna have, some experiences they wanna have and also some moments they wanna delete from their life.  We dream, we plan and then act on them.. sometimes we do not get the favourable results...thus  leaving us in a state of confusion and a war starts between our mind and heart. Life is full of co incidences... sometimes we are not able to understand whether its fate or destiny.   So, lets first understand the difference between fate and destiny.

It is an inevitable progression of occurrences that happen, often considered to be set in motion by cosmic or divine will.   Fate is typically seen as fixed and unchangeable. whereas Destin...

Heart and Soul

Image
Every living being is fighting their own battle. Everyone is in wait to achieve something or to hear from someone or to change their current situation. When we pray to our maximum and beg Allah for worldly matters, a day comes when our heart gets tired of all this. We get hopeless and negative ending up into a frustrated individuals. It's all the play of Satan. Then comes a time when we start recognizing our purpose here in this world and start asking Allah for strength to face our battles instead of anything else. We ask from Him, the power to stay firm on His religion, the faith to walk on Sirat-Al-Mustaqeem ( The Straight Path ) and a better place in the Hereafter. As it is stated in the Holy Quran : " The life of this world is only the enjoyment of deception." ( 3:185 ) We waste our years and years, in connecting to our real purpose. As we are born, we are taught to follow the daily grind, fulfill our responsibilities and follow the rat race ,then, one day we die with...

Urdu Language! Our National Language !

Image
​ URDU “Are you from Urdu Medium or English Medium?”  This was the third question followed by the interviewer after asking my name and education. I starred him up for a while and then answered, “English Medium.” The interview continued and all what I was thinking about during the whole time sitting on the chair that, “Was that question suppose to be a part of the interview?” “Why have we put English Language before our Urdu Language?” “Why is it important to have grip on a foreign language (English) rather than on our national language (Urdu)?” “Are we still under pressure of the English people?” Urdu is a really beautiful language. It’s a mixture of different other languages. Other names used for Urdu are Rekhta, Hindavi, Urdu-e-Muallah, Lahori and Dehlavi.

Eternal Love !

Image
  Allah loves it when we ask from Him , when we ask for things we need or people we want in our life , when we ask Him again and again . He loves this gesture of ours. He gets happy when we ask from Him like a child , who is pure in heart and innocent in intentions.  We don’t know what we are asking for , is good for us or not , but He knows. So , sometimes, He doesn’t give us what we want instead He blesses us what is best for us . Because He is Allah , the All - Knowing , He knows all what was in the past and all what will be in the future . He knows all what we show openly and all what we hide inside our hearts .  When we cry in front of Him for worldly matters , He calms our heart and as tears flow from our eyes , we get rid of our worldly desires and He fills our heart with His love and we find peace. As is said in The Holy Quran :  “Verily, in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find peace .”  ( Al-Quran 13:28 )
