Quote

“A mother who can die for the sake of her child is a heroine of affection; individuals who dedicate their lives to the happiness of others are entitled “valiant devotees,” but those who live and die for all of humanity are commemorated as monuments of immortality who deserve to be enthroned in the hearts of humanity.”
-Fethullah Gulen

Life's Basic Questions - The Meaning of Life
Thursday, 19 January 2006
Destiny is a title of Divine Knowledge it is not something that annuls man's free will and forces him to behave in a pre-ordained way. Since God knows beforehand how man will behave in the world. He has an angel to pre-record his life history. Man behaves according to the dictates of his free will not because God pre-recorded his future life.

Destiny is related both to the cause and effect. There are not two separate destinies one for the cause and the other for the effect. God knows beforehand how His servant will behave in what circumstances and His pre-knowledge does not contradict man's having free will.

No one except God knows whether a man will go to Paradise or Hell; although unbelief deserves eternal punishment we may not judge an unbeliever as being destined to Hell. It is possible that one day that unbeliever will accept faith and ultimately go to Paradise.
