Fate & Destiny

Up with my next blog, “Destiny”; the most amazing & curiosity provoking word we come across in our daily lives. Since my childhood I have been listening to the people talking about destiny, saying it was one’s destiny to do this and that, I saw people relating every rise and downfall of their life with their destiny, I saw people relate their incomes with destiny etc. Most amazing thing was if anything had gone wrong people would blame one’s destiny and if they had accomplished something good they would say we have achieved it by hard work.

Frankly speaking, I never understood the true sense of Destiny until my University life began and I read the concept of Trees in Mathematics. Being a Muslim, it is our duty to have a staunch belief in Fate. We know and believe that Allah Almighty has written & decided the Fate of every man. But we have misunderstood this concept at least I would say most of us have done so. What do you think of this concept? What do you think that Allah has decided each and every decision we take? What do you know about the concept of “Ashraf_ul_Makhlukaat”?

Allah Almighty has given the man the power of decision, the power to choose, the power to decide. This is the only reason man is superior to all other creation of Allah. Definitely Allah has decided the Fate of man but here is something to understand. If you know the concept of tree then it would be easier for you to understand the concept of Fate. 

Suppose there is one node and it extends two branches, let the node represent a decision, a question, an option and the two branches it extends be represent the two possible outcomes or paths. Allah Almighty has beautifully architected the design of Human life tree where each node is the decision of Man to take and the branches it extends are the outcomes or paths that lead to another node.

Allah has written each node and each branch for a man but it is totally up to man to choose the path to follow, he may choose either path. It is totally up to man decide for his future, he may change his Fate just by one decision. Sometimes in life man come across some special nodes and following branches respectively. These special nodes can alter your future drastically but to gain the special outcomes one needs to do a lot of hard work. That is why Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H) has emphasized on hard work on various occasions.

If you have understood what I meant to say then you might have also understood that one should never criticize and blame his/her Fate/Destiny because it is he/she who is responsible for his/her every action not the Fate. One should always try hard to choose the best possible path and think before his every action very carefully.

I hope what I wanted to convey is conveyed with some sense. I would end my article with this, “Always choose carefully and live well”

Good Bye till next time…..!
