Aspects of destiny
I would like to know if we can change our destiny; and I know there are two types of destiny: a) That which is fixed and cannot be changed, e.g. death, Rizq (sustenance), etc. and b) That which is suspended by actions, e.g. how to do good/bad deeds. I would like to know if our marriage to our partner is decided under type (a)?.. More

The effects of prayer and destiny
We Muslims firmly believe that Almighty Allaah answers our prayers sooner or later. Inspite of a wife's consistent, firm, prayer (ever since she got married to him) for the prolonged life of her spouse, how the sudden death of a person could be explained in this context. In an Islamic sense, does it mean that inspite of our prayers, destiny precedes.. More

Destiny and our responsibility
My husband died in a motor accident as a result of my brother-in-law's reckless and very fast driving. My in-law's blame it on destiny and believes that my brother-in-law is blameless for my husband's death along with 4 other boys.

Origin of sin
What is the sin or from where is the origin of sin? At some places Allaah says it is Allaah's Will, at other places Allaah asks us to take refuge from Iblees and at other places Allaah says man is responsible-see Ayah, 42:30. Allaah also says unless man changes himself (of committing sins) Allaah will not change His condition-13:11... More

Compensation for trials Muslims suffer in this life
There are numerous Hadeeths of our Prophet Mohammed (PBUH) that tell us that the hardships a Muslim faces in this life help him to gain more rewards in the after-life or decrease his punishment in the after-life.My questions are:1. If the hardship that a person suffers is entirely his own fault (for example: driving carelessly and then having a severe.. More

Why does Allaah let calamity or hardship befall us?
If Allah has written for us a hardship or a calamity, why does Allah let that calamity or hardship befall us? Is it because Allah wants to test if we put our trust and reliance upon Him during a hardship or is it a matter which only Allah knows? Is it true that if good fortune and bad fortune befall a Muslim, the Muslim can get good from the good.. More

Levels of predestination
I have gone through your site on Fatwas about predestination. I would like to ask one question regarding this.

Hope you will answer considering the above.. More

Allaah's decree for one's death
I wanted to ask about Fatwa 83292. You said Allaah saw predestined how I would die. Does this predestination comply with my thinking of death? What I mean this: Let's say Allaah has predestined for me to die a normal death due to aging, but I do not want to die because I will get old, I want to die in Jihaad. So my desire to die in Jihaad..

Death being delayed
I have some questions regarding to death. Does Allah ever change the time of a person's death? Does it mention anywhere in the Qur'aan or Hadeeth of this ever happening? Also, the night of Al- Qadar, a night better than a thousand months, Allah writes the destiny of mankind for the upcoming year, right? I am asking these because I have read.. More

She took the latter advice and started using herbs, but later discovered that the herbs were not effective. Is it then that it is her qadar [destiny] that she would not be cured of that fibroid by her.. More

Marriage: by choice or by fate?
My question is regarding marriage. I have been trying figure out whether the individual one marries is by choice (Ikhtiyar) or by fate (Naseeb). If it is choice then why is it that two people who truly love each other never marry? If it is fate, then why would God allow a woman to marry a physically or mentally abusive husband?.. More

Some questions about prayer and divine decree
I have a few questions which I am very confused about:
1. Is it true that the lines on our hands change every 30 days or something like that? Do they even change at all? Some say it is proven from the Qur’an.
2. If one starts to recite the Qur’an from a middle of Surah and not from it's beginning is it necessary to say ‘Bismillah’.. More
