We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service. Due to the issues imposed on us by advertisers, we also stopped hosting most ads on the forums many years ago. We hope you appreciate our efforts.

Subject: Re: Fate Author: Laila Nasheeba [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 06:46:49 01/15/03 Wed Author Host/IP: dhcp024-210-181-243.woh.rr.com/24.210.181.243 In reply to: Safiah Arshad 's message, "Fate" on 09:00:24 01/14/03 Tue As Salaamu Alaikoum, Belief in destiny and fate is one of the basic beliefs of Islam. It means that Allaah is the Knower of all things and the Creator of all things; nothing exists outside of His will and decree. He wrote down all things with Him in al-Lawh al-Mahfooz (the Preserved Tablet), and this was fifty thousand years before He created the universe. Everything in the universe, every creature and the things it does, is the creation of Allaah. Whatever He wills happens, and whatever He does not will does not happen. If something happens to a person, it could not have missed him, and if something does not happen to him, it could not have happened to him. A person is not forced to obey or disobey Allaah – he has free will as befits his state, but it is subject to the will of the Creator. AND ALLAH KNOWS BEST Laila Nasheeba [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]
