Summary of Sunni concepts
Two forms of deviation in understanding destiny
Firstly, invoking predestination against committing sins and disbelief
God Almighty said about them
Those who associate polytheists will say, “If God had willed, neither we nor our fathers would have made polytheists nor have we deprived us of anything.”
Likewise those before them lied until they tasted Our punishment
Say: Do you have any knowledge that you can present to us?
You follow nothing but conjecture, and you only tell lies
So God lied to them in their claim
These people and others like them are arrogant and contradictory in their claims
They cannot use it in every matter
If an abuser abused them by hitting or insulting them
Then he argued to them that this required predestination
They did not accept that from him
Rather, they will become extremely angry with him
They will defend their stolen rights
How astonishing how they invoke fate against sins and what displeases God
They do not accept anyone to use him as an excuse in response to their discontent with him
When he does wrong to them
Secondly, stagnation and dependency
Where some Muslims took it in later times
Belief in fate is a weak justification for their inability and collapse
And their satisfaction with corruption and humiliation
Forgetting that God's decrees only apply to them in the first place
According to God’s established laws that link causes to their causes
This was helplessness and dependency
It is the main outlet to bring secular thought into the reality of the Muslim nation
And his control over the reins of affairs there
Malik bin Nabi called this helplessness and acceptance of humiliation
Colonization potential
He named him Maududi
enslaveability
There is no doubt that the truth in this matter is as we mentioned before
In the balance between doing everything in your power to push the warning
Until we reach the utmost potential
Then surrender to what God decrees because of our faith in Him
This means doing the reasons that God has provided for us
And defending the destinies of God Almighty with His destinies
As long as there is a possibility of defence
As God Almighty said
If God had not pushed people against each other
The earth would be corrupted
But God is of bounty over the worlds
If you do not find the defense
Or it was not possible
It is necessary to be patient with God’s decree and destiny
With the certainty that there is goodness, interest and mercy behind this
You should make an effort to seek it
And harness it for good and reform
Changing people's conditions by holding souls accountable
And remove the causes of disaster
Believing in the word of God Almighty
God does not change the condition of a people
Until they change themselves
This becomes clear
The difference between trust and reliance
Where trust is the work and servitude of the heart
Depending on God and trusting Him
And they turned to him
And delegated to him
And he is satisfied with what he spends
While one does what one is commanded to do
Reliance is inability and rationalization of reasons
And disperse in it
They claim that it is part of trust and belief in destiny
