November 01, 2023, 03:44:32 pm Zainab_M: Allahhuma ameen .. ameen.
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.

Salam. At the death of someone, we sometimes hear the bereaved ones say about the departed soul that they left "before his/her time."   
But Allah Subhanu wa'Tala has said in the Qur'an that He has fixed the time of departure for every soul and no one can go before that time nor after.

So how are we to view that phrase by people on going before time?

Walaikum As-Salaam.  When people say that about a departed soul, it's usually on the death of someone who has died young or comparatively younger.   Thus, to say that someone passed away before their time actually means that they died at a young age .. that they lived in this dunya for a short time or shorter time than others.  

For sure Allah Almighty has fixed a specific time for the Final Journey for every person and when their time arrives, they cannot postpone it nor advance it even by a single second.  It's just that some die young without reaching old age as ordained by Allah, and that's the connotation of the expression "going before time."

Salam sr. Zeynab,

If a person dies due to the malicious intervention of others, for example due to murder or poisoning , or perhaps even through their own carelessness such as neglecting or rejecting sound medical treatment for their ailments....would their death be the same death that was preordained for them?

Jazakallahu khayran.

Walaikum As-Salaam brother Hassium.

Briefly put, al-Qadr alludes to the fact that Allah knows everything and has decided everything that will happen.  This is called predestination.   True, but it needs to be defined further otherwise it can lead to misconceptions or misunderstandings. 

Qada (or Qaza) on the other hand, literally means fulfilment of duties.

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

This is the precise concept of predestination in the Noble Quran.   Allah shapes our life and destination (Qadr) based on the decisions we make for ourselves (Qada).   Thus, when Allah decides upon Qadr (which is the Will of Allah), it doesn't change, and that ensues from Qada which is/was our responsibility for which we will be answerable to Him.  

If a person commits murder or suicide, it's the decision of that person and then when Qadr is established, it's the will of Allah.   Qadr established by Allah can either approve Qada or disapprove it.  For that reason sometimes some murder or sucide attempts don't succeed .. because Allah intervenes, dismisses Qada and establishes Qadr .. and whatever He establishes CANNOT be reversed. 

Thus, murder or suicide can be called predestination for sure, but one must ascertain they understand the definition and truth of predestination correctly as elucidated in the Noble Quran.  In murder, the Qada of one person affects the other.  It is predestination for both and only one of them (the perpetrator) will be answerable.
