Allaah (SWT) says in the Noble Quran: 22. No calamity befalls on the earth or in yourselves but is inscribed in the Book of Decrees (Al-Lauh Al-Mahfooz), before We bring it into existence. Verily, that is easy for Allaah. 23. In order that you may not grieve at the things that you fail to get, nor rejoice over that which has been given to you. And Allaah likes not prideful boasters. – Quran [Surah Al-Hadid, Verses 22, 23] As part of that belief, we should, therefore, recognize that Allaah (SWT) does what He wills for reasons that are only known to Him. Any attempt to comprehend the wisdom of it all using our limited faculties, or to understand how our current situation fits in His overall plan can only lead us to erroneous conclusions resulting in increased frustrations. We, as Muslims, should accept Allaah’s Decree both as it manifests itself around us and in our lives. It should be a relief to us that only Allaah is the master of our destiny and we are only going to be tested about whether we reacted to what befalls as true believers and Mu’mins, i.e. being patient in adversity and grateful in prosperity.
