Fate and Choice
The events
of the universe are the fate of Allah (SWT) and they are the real aim of Allah
in His universe and no one could prevent or stop or even intervene in the real
will of Allah in His universe as it is executed on everyone and there is no
choice in it.
The events
that happen by the fate of Allah are not within the bounds of choice, the same
as the events that happens to you from some other person, you have no choice in
it. If you are walking down the street and someone came and slapped you on the
face or threw a stone at you or shot a bullet at you or even attacked you at
home, all those events and others that happen to you by some other person are
outside the scope of your choice. For you have no choice in people verbally or
physically assaulting you, by making you hear what you do not like or by
beating or killing you. All that is outside the boundaries of your human
choice.
By that, we
see that the scope of choice is narrowed so that it is restricted to one thing,
and that is what you do or what you say. All other remaining life events you
have no choice in. You have no choice in your birth, death or hours of sleep.
You also have no choice in what happens to you and is pre-destined by Allah
(SWT) nor in what is happening to you by some one else. So the remaining scope
is what you really do and even in that narrow scope, your choice is bounded by
part of it and the rest you have no choice in.
To be continued....
