  • Decree of Allah encompasses all of our actions

    I have a question about Allah's decree. I noticed that most of the time, when I want to participate or do something, it might not always occur. This happens when I think a lot about it.

  • How reckoning will take place on Day of Judgment

    Assalaamu alaykum. I have heard that we will be asked to account for the blessings we are given. What is meant by that? How will it be done?

    Assalaamu alaykum. Is it incorrect to think negatively of the word "In Shaa' Allah" (Allah willing) when something does not happen? I so far have seen that when I say "In Shaa' Allah" to do something, in the end, I do not do it. A very few times, when I say it, it does actually take place.
