Wrong Blaming* [-Second Outing-]

 *Wrong Blaming*

[-Second Outing-]
------------------

بسم الله الرحمان الرحيم

The life of a believer should be a good example.. But today, we see Muslims saying things like: - ▪️My age mates have 5 children and I'm still single swimming in uncountable unfruitful relationships because "my enemies are at work!" ▪️There is nothing I lay my hands on that flourishes because "my enemies are at work!" etc.

My People,

As Muslims, we should remember that, the prophet (pbuh) said: *‘Know that if the whole world were to gather together in order to help you, they would not be able to help you except if Allah had written so. And if the whole world were to gather together in order to harm you, they would not harm you except if Allah had written so. The pens have been lifted, and the pages are dry.’* 📚 (Tirmidhi)

Although,

Allah (swt) has decreed certain things, and those things cannot be overturned. HE has also decreed other things which HE allows to be changed, as the Prophet (pbuh) told us: *“Nothing can change the Divine decree except du

a’ (prayer),”* 📚 (Ahmad).

Moreover, 

He (pbuh) also tells us: *“Du

a’ is beneficial with regard to what has been decreed and what has not been decreed. The du`a’ meets the calamity that has been decreed and wrestles with it, until the Day of Resurrection.”* 📚 (Tabarani)

Now,

Continuation of the last episode - as promised.

One of the basic tenets of our faith is belief in *“qadar (predestination), both in its good and in its evil aspects”* 📚(hadith reported by Muslim). But what does qadar mean and how do we balance it with planning and action?

In summary,

Qadar (Arabic: قدر‎, transliterated qadar, meaning "fate", "divine fore-ordainment", "predestination," of measurements and sustenance of everything and everyone, according to Allah's Knowledge and Wisdom.

Muslim Faithful,

Sometimes, Allah (swt) shows us the larger picture through the everyday activities. We all have days in which things seem to be going according to plan, yet somehow they get messed up. You might leave the house early enough to get to work, then remember that you forgot something important and have to go back. You might then get into your car and find that traffic is terrible. Throughout it all, you are annoyed, wondering why this is happening to you, especially since you put effort into being on time—and wondering what you could have done differently. Yet somehow, you find that you make it just in time; or maybe you do end up being late.

My People,

Delays and detours are an inevitable part of life, both literally and metaphorically. Many times, our planning ahead helps us, but there may be times when it does not. Yet Allah (swt) shows you that HE will always get you where you need to be, thought it may not be where you want to be at that time.. It may not happen how you envisaged it, but there is always a lesson to be learned from the Most Wise (Allah). So, focus on what you can control, and leave what you cannot.

Also,

We should learn from these daily lessons and have trust in the Most High (Allah). Yes. That what is best will come, whenever Allah (swt) wills.

Evidence:

"...إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ بَٰلِغُ أَمْرِهِۦۚ قَدْ جَعَلَ ٱللَّهُ لِكُلِّ شَىْءٍ قَدْرًا

‘…Indeed, Allah will accomplish His purpose. Allah has already set for everything a [decreed] extent.’ 📚(Q65:3)

Now,

Evil plots of the evil creatures (man or jinn) can never change our Qadr (predestination).. This is because...
