The Fruits of Faith in Divine Decree and Destiny
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. He also asks, may Allah preserve you, about the fruits of faith in divine decree and destiny. How do I find that in my faith and in my daily life?
Answer:
It is obligatory for you to have faith in divine decree and destiny, and that everything that happens to you and to others is by the decree and destiny of Allah. This is one of the six pillars of faith: to believe in the divine decree, its good and its evil. By doing so, you attain great fruits, among them the comfort of the soul and the absence of distress or dissatisfaction with what happens that you do not like. You are pleased and submit to Allah (Mighty and Majestic), and you do not become distressed or dissatisfied, so your soul is at peace.
Also, among the fruits of faith in divine decree and destiny is that it gives you strength and determination in your work, and no illusions or doubts arise in you that affect you. Rather, you proceed, you proceed in jihad in the path of Allah, you proceed in seeking provision, you proceed in seeking knowledge, you proceed in every good deed; because you believe in divine decree and destiny. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Strive for what benefits you, and seek help from Allah. If something befalls you, do not say, 'If I had done so and so, it would have been such and such.' But say, 'It is the decree of Allah, and what He willed, He did.'" Yes.
