We have created all things in due measure. Our command is only one word, like the blinking of an eye. (Surat
al-Qamar: 49-50)
al-Qamar: 49-50)
Destiny is Allah’s apprehension of all events past or future as if they were “a single moment.” Most people question how Allah can already have knowledge of events that have not yet been experienced, and this leads to their failing to understand the authenticity of destiny. However, “events not yet experienced” are only so for us. Allah is unfettered by time or space, for He Himself has created them. There is no concept of time in the Presence of Allah. For this reason, past, future, and present are all the same to Him; for Him, everything has already taken place and is finished.
