Re: who controls us; why are we here; fate
Great thread…
Ok so ive been really confused recentlu by certain things
To begin with, for example, we all refer to kismat/ fate/ taqdeer which as far as I am concerned ALLah decides, he writes et.c Therefore everything that we do is decided by ALLAH, so then how are we being tested. If we ae godd or are bad, that was not within our own control, it was already decided for us.
Good question..I too scratched my head a lot about all this. Only to conclude that there is no God everytime. It is just that you should stop getting tempted by your sorrounding events or inputs which make you to do something against others or your own self. Forget about God during all this. God is just a Concept or theory imposed by others, either for good intentions or for bad intentions. watever…Eventually, I ended up being an agnost and not an atheist.
What then is teh point of praying?? Ive stopped reading my namaz or praying for anything sonce in my mind, no matter wht we pray 4 ALLAH will do what he wishes to do, so praying is not going to have an effect r help in anyway whatsoever.
Many people say that infact ALLAH has given us free will to do as we wish and that he does not control us, wht he controls is when we come into this world and when we will leave Howver when things happen like for example someone not getting a job, or haveing a missacriage people say it was in your kismat not 4 it 2 happen u just jave to except that rather than saying oh you didnt work hard enough to get the job, u didnt have teh right degree or you didnt take care of yourself during your pregnancy et.c so which is right there is such a contradiction here
Just as ll the suffering in the world is concerned, some say it is a result of all teh evil in the worls, all the pain and suffering is due to mankinds own sufferings. If lets say some 1 is killed in a bomb attack , they were innocent, we would obvioulsy be ouratged at the people or individual that carried it out but it was also ALLAh decided that the innocent person was going to be killed.
Also things like the signs of day of judgement, ALLAH knows what they are, he is aware of what is going to happen, and the state of mankind nearer to kiyamat. My point is ife he knws wht we r going to do or morso decided wht we will be doing how is it a test, and therefore how can be be punished for deeds or rewarded for deeds which we carried out when ALLAH decided our fate:confused:
This really confuses me,
Just reject what all things don’t agree with reason. Ofcourse, it is upto you to decide eventually as to what to do.
