Destiny is a Secret of Allah ﷻ

Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidul Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya Rasulallah, Madad Ya Sadat As’habi RasuLillah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Dastur Mawlana Sheikh Abdullah Faiz Daghestani, Sheikh Nazim al-Haqqani.

Our Holy Prophet ﷺ says that to believe in destiny is to believe in the oneness of Allah ﷻ. The destiny of people is written in the sight of Allah ﷻ, and it is a secret of Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla, says our Holy Prophet ﷺ. Our Holy Prophet ﷺ says that whoever knows that it is a secret and believes in it will be in comfort. When something happens, many people get upset and desperate trying to understand how and why that happened. But people who believe in destiny know that it came from Allah ﷻ and there is no need to be sad and to change it. It happened, so we cannot change it. There is a saying – there is no cure for the dead nor for the past. The dead is dead and the past is gone. You cannot die for it.

Therefore, this matter is important. People are in sorrow and sadness all the time. Those who believe in destiny let go of sorrow and sadness. It had to happen, so it did. There is no other solution. Whether you get upset or happy, this has to happen. While Adam Efendi was walking a couple of days ago, he broke his leg. People wonder why it happened and say if only he hadn’t been there. But that had to happen, so it happened. Whatever comes after will be a reward and Thawab for him. What can you do? There is nothing else to do. May Allah ﷻ protect us from bad destiny.

When you have ‘iman, it is fine. That is also in the destiny of people. And if Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla gave ‘iman or not, that is also a secret of Allah ﷻ. A person who has this secret, a person with ‘iman should always make Dua to Allah ﷻ and ask for steadfastness, to have a good destiny and to have a good end. This is the most important thing. Everyone should think about this. They should not be sad about other things. May Allah ﷻ give us all steadfastness. May our ends be good.

Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.
