Deeds … by Whom - FATE & DESTINY



Deeds … by Whom?


If you say that you will do something tomorrow, we will tell you that you are saying what you cannot or do not own to fulfill because you might not live till that day. And if you are still alive by that day you might have an illness that prevents you from doing what you wanted to do. You might not have the strength or power to carry it out. You might have a reason to stop you, for example one of your kids might get ill or die and by that you will not complete what you have planned to do.

The same thing could happen to the other partner that is sharing the same deed with you. For example, you have decided with another person to meet tomorrow at a specific place. Then that man had an urgent incident or a sudden illness or he had passed away. The meeting would never take place and so the act of meeting would not be executed.

Every action requires time and place. That is the measures of earth and the Worldly life, Al-Hayat Al-Donya. If Allah gave you the factor of time, He might not give you the place. If for example you want to build a building, you could wake up in the morning and find out that the piece of land had been marked by the city for public use or as a historical area. You could also have someone stopping you and claiming the ownership of the land. You could not find the engineer to monitor the construction or you might not find the contractors needed to get the work done. You might not find the products to use in constructing the building. You do not own all that for you do not own the elements of the deed, but Allah (SWT) owns them. And for that Allah (Jalla Jallaloh) says:

<< And never say of anything, “I shall do such and such thing tomorrow”, Except (with the saying), “If Allah will!” And remember your Lord when you forget and say: “It may be that my Lord guides me unto a nearer way of truth than this.”>>
Ayat 23, 24 from surat Al-Kahf

That is you should behave in what you say and relate the deed to Allah who owns it. You should not relate it to yourself and say that you are going to do this or that, but you should always relate it to Allah (SWT) because He is the one that owns the true elements of the deed. He (SWT) owns your life, He keeps you till you finish what you wanted to do or He ends your life before you can do anything. He (Jalla Jallaloh) owns the strength and provides it to you to be able to do what you want or He takes your strength away so you are not able to do anything. 
He owns the elements of place, He keeps it in a good state for you to go on with doing what you want or He makes it impossible for you to complete the task. And He has the power to make whoever He wants from his servants subject to you, to execute what you want. Or He does not make them subject to you and by that you cannot even start what you want to do. So if all the elements of action is in the hands of Allah (SWT), you should relate it all to Him and say “If Allah wills”.


So for the deed to happen and get completed, it is only in the hands of Allah. No one of us has the power to do what he wants except if Allah wills or if Al-Haqq (SWT) gave him the life and energy to do it.

To be continued....
