What is the ruling on saying: "O most beautiful of opportunities that destiny seized for me and presented as a down payment for a coming joy, in atonement for all past sorrow"?
Predestination (Qadar) is what Allah has ordained by His knowledge, will, and power, and no one can oppose it. The statement in question suggests that there is something that falls outside of predestination, which is false; for everything that exists and everything that is lost is by a preordained decree. Blaming predestination and describing it in a way that disparages it is a lack of proper conduct with Allah the Almighty. Describing Allah's decree as a mistake is false, and the invalidity of the consequent indicates the invalidity of the antecedent.
