Can anyone answer my question please.

I have heard and read some where that when a child (girl/boy) is born then everything is written already in his/her taqdeer like, when and how he/she gonna die, what kind a life he/she will have etc.

Let me elaborate little more here. Like how many years he/she will live,..how they gonna die,..like natural causes or accident,..or so on.

What kind life he/she gonna lead during their life,…mean good or bad etc.

Is this true or just fabricated by people ? Please answer this to the best of your knowledge.
I shall appreciate it.:slight_smile:

Re: Can anyone answer my question please.

i dont know if its true. but stuff like palm reading tells you about your life, and sometimes how many kids your gonna have. dont know if its all bs or not.

Re: Can anyone answer my question please.

Because any anybody I talk to here in NY during discussions says, That Taqdeer is set, can’t be changed but your luck ( Qismat ) you can change it,…I ask for Islamic reference to back up their claim, but don’t get any. I thought its a good idea for other people to weigh in and give their views with reference if there is any…

Sahih Bukhari Chp 8-593
Narrated by Abdullah Allah's Apostle, the truthful and truly-inspired, said, "Each one of you collected in the womb of his mother for forty days, and then turns into a clot for an equal period (of forty days) and turns into a piece of flesh for a similar period (of forty days) and then Allah sends an angel and orders him to write four things, i.e., his provision, his age, and whether he will be of the wretched or the blessed (in the Hereafter). Then the soul is breathed into him. And by Allah, a person among you (or a man) may do deeds of the people of the Fire till there is only a cubit or an arm-breadth distance between him and the Fire, but then that writing (which Allah has ordered the angel to write) precedes, and he does the deeds of the people of Paradise and enters it; and a man may do the deeds of the people of Paradise till there is only a cubit or two between him and Paradise, and then that writing precedes and he does the deeds of the people of the Fire and enters it."

Sahih Bukhari Chp 8-594
Narrated by Anas Bin Malik The Prophet said, "Allah puts an angel in charge of the uterus and the angel says, 'O Lord, (it is) semen! O Lord, (it is now ) a clot! O Lord, (it is now) a piece of flesh.' And then, if Allah wishes to complete its creation, the angel asks, 'O Lord, (will it be) a male or a female? A wretched (an evil doer) or a blessed (doer of good)? How much will his provisions be? What will his age be?' So all that is written while the creature is still in the mother's womb."

Sahih Muslim 6392
Narrated by Hudhayfah ibn Usayd Allah's Apostle (peace be upon him) said: When the drop of (semen) remains in the womb for forty or fifty (days) or forty nights, the angel comes and says: My Lord, will he be good or evil? And both these things would be written. Then the angel says: My Lord, would he be male or female? And both these things are written. And his deeds and actions, his death, his livelihood; these are also recorded. Then his document of destiny is rolled and there is no addition to and subtraction from it.

Sahih Muslim 5427
Narrated by Abdullah Ibn Abbas Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) said: The influence of an evil eyes is a fact; if anything would precede the destiny it would be the influence of an evil eye, and when you are asked to take bath (as a cure) from the influence of an evil eye, you should take bath.

Thanx for the response and references from Hadiths. You have got an extensive knowledge of Islam. I am really impressed.:k:

Being a good or bad person is not decided by Allah(swt) otherwise there would be no accountability. 'It is written' is meant to show the knowledge of Allah not that it controls you.
