Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: Is it possible for what is written in the Preserved Tablet to change, for example if a person maintains his family ties?
Answer:
It is written in the Preserved Tablet that if he maintains his family ties, his lifespan will be extended, and if he does not maintain his family ties, his lifespan will be shortened. This is written with Allah in the Preserved Tablet, so it is decreed based on a cause: if the cause exists, the effect exists, and if the cause does not exist, the effect does not exist. Everything is by the decree and destiny of Allah.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says.
Answer:
The scholars say that the meaning of "his term is extended" does not mean that a period is added to his lifespan that is not in the Preserved Tablet. Rather, it means that he is blessed in his lifespan through obedience and acts of worship.
