Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. The questioner says: In the words of Allah the Exalted,
Allah eliminates what He wills or confirms, and with Him is the Mother of the Book.يَمْحُو اللَّهُ مَا يَشَاءُ وَيُثْبِتُ وَعِندَهُ أُمُّ الْكِتَابِ
[Ar-Ra'd 13:39]
the meaning is that if Allah has decreed a specific lifespan for a person, Allah increases his lifespan.

Answer:
The verse is about the legislations, the verse is about the legislations, the legislations of the prophets,
Allah eliminates what He wills or confirmsيَمْحُو اللَّهُ مَا يَشَاءُ وَيُثْبِتُ
[Ar-Ra'd 13:39]
is in that, and it is not about divine decree and destiny; rather, it is about the legislations. Every term has a written record, and every book among the books of the prophets has a specific term, and the practice of it ends at that point, then another book from Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) comes, so it is about the legislations of the prophets. Yes. May Allah reward me. It was said that it is in the records of deeds that are raised to Allah (Mighty and Majestic) on Monday and Thursday, where Allah confirms what He wills of them and erases what He wills of them. Yes.
