Guidance on the Hadith of the Writing of Sustenance, Deeds, and Lifespans
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh:
May Allah bless you.
The questioner:
I ask permission from Your Excellency, Shaykh Salih, to take this question from the brother Muhammad. He says that he read that sustenance, deeds, and lifespans are written, so what is the guidance regarding the hadith of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) on that?
The Shaykh:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds. May Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions. Everything is written in the Preserved Tablet with Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He), so nothing occurs in this universe except that it has been written in the Preserved Tablet. Yes.
