November 01, 2023, 03:43:43 pm Ruhi_Rose: Yes .. making lots of dua everyday ..... watching those real life video clips, my face feels wet with tears all the time.  May ALLAH grant the best to these wonderful, brave & steadfast martyrs,  Ameen ya Allah.
November 01, 2023, 03:38:26 pm Zainab_M: Keep praying, praying a lot for Gaza. It's worse than a prison .. it's a concentration camp.  Children as young as 10 or 11 are having to care for their younger siblings ages 2, 3 and 4 becoz many have lost both parents.  It's a very, very, very tearful situation there.
October 26, 2023, 03:40:19 pm N. Truth Seeker: Don't forget to look up MV Blog Zainab's Lounge for our Gaza updates.
October 20, 2023, 04:24:44 pm Zainab_M: Right sister Heba.  Gaza hospital bombing has the fingerprints of Israel all over it.  For Israel this is no big crime.  They have done this and much worse many times in the past and intend to do the same and worse many more times in near future.
October 20, 2023, 04:20:20 pm Heba E. Husseyn: Catching Zionist lies isn't hard. Soon after Gaza hospital bombing killing and maiming hundreds, Israel was quick to accuse Islamic Jihad of a misfired rocket.  That didn't sound plausible because IJ does not have such sophisticated bombing devices.  Zionist lie was fully exposed when anglican archbishop of Jerusalem,Hosam Naoum,  said today that 3 or 4 days prior to boming Israel had warned Gaza hospital to evacuate. Yet CIA claims in its flawed analysis that the rocket did not come from Israel.  But conveniently does not explain how Israel could have known 4 days earlier that a "misfired" rocket from IJ was coming.  Yet on the basis of this flawed & bias analysis of CIA, Biden is comforting Israel he believes Israel didn't do that war crimes bombing.
July 29, 2023, 03:02:07 am Zainab_M: Yesterday was Ashura, Muharram 10, 1444 (July 27, 2023).  Read about this very tragic day and details of the world's greatest 7th century revolutionary: WHO WAS HUSSEIN.
June 28, 2023, 09:48:39 am Zainab_M: Walaikum As Salaam.  This was the first Hajj open to all after the pandemic. It was attended by 2.6 million Muslims.

"Lo! Allah changes not the condition of a folk until they (first) change that which is in their hearts;"  13:11  Surah Ar-Ra'd

"It was never Allah's (part) that he should send a folk astray after He had guided them until He had made clear unto them what they should avoid. Lo! Allah is Aware {Al-'Alim} of all things."  9:115  Surah At-Tawbah

There are plenty of Muslims who seek an excuse for their violations by using 'fate' as their scapegoat.  They presume (or pretend to do so) that since Allah Almighty ordains everything and nothing can happen without His will, we are responsible for very little that happens in our lives.  This isn't true at all.
 
As we can perceive, both the verses quoted above from the two Surahs, Ar-Ra'd and At-Tawbah, are in perfect co-ordination. 
 
It is on the basis of the changes we make within ourselves, depending on our intent and motives that Allah judges us and thus ordains our fate.
 
It depends on how much guidance and obedience we are able to grasp and practice from Allah's commandments and the warnings He has made known to us.  This includes the manner in which we handle the tests, trials and tribulations of earthly life.
 
Allah has also made it plain that he does not punish anyone until He has shown them the right path.  Whether or not they follow it, or to what extent they follow it, is upto them and upon this decision of their obedience or otherwise depends the outcome of their life in the form of their fate as judged by Allah Almighty. 
 
Therefore it's upto us to decide to what extent we can prove our worth in Allah's sight and subsequently to carve our fate by utilizing our human insight, which keeps increasing by Allah's Will as a reward of our efforts in making ourselves grow.  It constitutes one of the most important purposes of our lives.

Very good and important topic.  I remember there were lengthy discussions on this before too (links given).  yes, we are to a great extent responsible for chalking out our fate, in the sense, that whenever we take an initiative, Allah responds to it, based on our type of initiative and that's how the matter keeps moving forward.
