Belief in Divine Preordainment
As we have
shown, if we believe in the prophets and messengers, we must necessarily
believe in all the news they have brought, and among the news they have brought
in the Books sent down upon them is the Great Attributes of Allah Almighty.
Also among this news is the Vast, Comprehensive Knowledge of Allah (Noble &
Sublime) which is not preceded by ignorance, and that He (Noble & Sublime)
encompasses all things with His Knowledge, as we have indicated previously.
Among the news brought by the Prophet
Muhammad (pbuh), when he was asked about faith was: belief in Divine
Preordainment, otherwise known as fate.
Belief in fate means: to believe that
Allah (Glorious & Exalted) decreed all things, as the Almighty has said,
{He has created everything, and has measured it exactly according to its due
measurements.}[Al-Furqan 25: 2]
This decree follows the Ultimate Wisdom of
Allah (Mighty & Majestic), and that which necessarily results from this
Wisdom, from praiseworthy intentions and beneficial outcomes for His slaves in
their lives and in the Afterlife.
Everything in the universe occurs by the
Will of Allah (Mighty & Majestic), whether that is among the Actions of
Allah Himself (Glorious & Exalted), the deeds of men, or the acts of His
creatures. What Allah wills occurs, and what He does not will does not occur.
