Taqdeer ya Tadbeer controls our destiny?
Prophet Mohammed (SAW) has demanded in the belief that the determination (qadr) of all good and evil from Allah and its answer is beyond the realm of science, reason and logic and even the metaphysics. It has been a dilemma for the theologians, philosophers and scientists from the day one, which came first: egg or the hen; when the universe came into existence; when life appeared on the earth and when we will die? Death is certain to come to come but life or to be born is not assured because anything could happen at conception or during the pregnancy or at birth that could cause a lifes demise. Life can not be shortened or prolonged but will occur as destined. Na kisi ki umar ghat sakti ha na bhar sakti ha.
The time the death occurs is its determined time but not predetermined. If we drink cold water in a hot summer day; it is so cooling and soothing but if we mix it poison, we will die. If we sit in front of a fire place in a wintry day, it provides us with warmth but if we put our hand in it, we will burn ourselves. Pani ki taqdeer ha ke wo hamari pyias ko bujhaey aur uski tadbeer hamare hath meinN ke humm uska kia istmal kertian heinN. The cause of water is to quench our thirst and keep us alive but its effects could be drastic if we use it for wrong reasons or use. Life is to live and is the gift of Allah but if we wished to end it by a suicide bomb, jumping from a tall bridge, committing suicide and taking some ones life is against its qadr.
Prophet Mohammed (SAW) ridiculed this discussion because it will always remain inconclusive and ordered Muslims not to engage in it, adding: People before you have been led astray by this discussion. We are told in the Quran that Allah is Omnipotent, Omnipresent, Omniscience and we will be held accountable for our deeds on the earth though Allah Knoweth all.
