All matters pertaining to a person—such as sustenance, lifespan, deeds, misery, and happiness, including marriage—are predestined and inscribed eternally, before the creation of all beings. The angel, by Allah's command, inscribes this in the mother's womb. As for the notion of this being inscribed on a child's cheek or elsewhere, it has no basis and is among the superstitions of the common people.
