Faith in Divine Destiny

And there is not a thing but its treasures are with us but we only send down thereof in due and ascertainable measures”[1]

One of the six articles of faith in Islam is faith in the divine destiny. Muslims believe that the all-knowing God knows everything before they come in to existence and nothing occurs without His will. The concept, which is at the foremost frontier of Islamic faith, is hard to grasp with our human minds so it is mostly a matter of conscious and heart.[2] This is a very influential belief in shaping Muslims’ understanding of and reaction to what is happening in their lives. Concept of destiny especially arises in difficult times when people need to seek refuge from troubles by facing towards a higher and powerful being for assistance and comfort.
