All praise be to Allah! May peace and blessings be upon the Prophet after whom no prophet will come! I have reviewed what was published in the magazine: "AlRiyadh", issue no. 4887, dated 17/9/1401 A.H., in the Social Stories section, entitled: "The Cruelty of Predestination", which was written by Qumashah AlIbrahim.
In this story, the writer says: "We have no rights in this life; we are merely lives that Predestination plays with. When it is bored with them, it throws them into the other world. Predestination sometimes plays with our tears and laughter."
These words are in complete contradiction to perfect Tawhid (belief in the Oneness of Allah) and Iman (belief) in Predestination. Predestination and time do not play and all that happens in this life is all predestined and known by Allah. It is Allah (Exalted be He) Who controls the night and the day; He is the One who predestines happiness or misery according to what His Wisdom dictates.
"The son of Adam offends Me. He curses time and I am Time. In My Hand are (all) matters. I alternate the night and the day.'"
"Do not curse Time, for Allah is Time."
"The son of Adam offends Me and says, 'Fie upon time!' Verily, I am Time. I alternate the night and the day. If I Will I shall seize them both."
and We shall make a trial of you with evil and with good. And to Us you will be returned.
1. Cursing time is forbidden.
2. Cursing time is an offense to Allah.
"Verily, Allah is more merciful to His servants than this woman is to her child."
