Glorify the name of your Lord, the Most High, Who created, then proportioned
And who destined and then guided So remind, if the reminder benefits.
He who fears will pay heed.
But the wretched one will avoid it The one who will burn in the great Fire.
In which he will neither die nor live.
Certainly, he is successful who purifies himself, And remembers the name of his Lord and prays
Nay!
But you prefer the life of this world, While the Hereafter is better and everlasting.
Indeed, this is in the former scriptures, Scriptures of Abraham and Moses.
And with Him are the keys of the unseen, none knows them except Him.
And He knows what is on the land and in the sea.
And not a leaf falls but He knows it.
And there is not a grain in the darkness of the earth and not anything moist or dry but
is written in a Clear Record.
And it is He who takes you night and knows what you have committed by day.
Then He revives you therein that a specified term may be fulfilled.
Then to Him will be your return; then He will inform you about what you used to do.
And He is the Omnipotent over His servants, and He sends over you guardians until, when
death comes to one of you, Our messengers take him, and they do not fail in their duties.
They than are returned to God, their real lord and master.
His indeed is the judgement; and He is swift at reckoning.
O mankind you always get confused and all these debates of philosophers that I discussed
in part 11 are because you think that as God knows everything and it is already written
therefore you have no freewill.
Therefore mankind mostly blame their destiny for all the mishaps they get in their lives.
O people this universe is a universe of possibilities where anyone can reach to any level.
God has made for you choices and options which pop up every second and God's ability of
knowing your future does not in any way restricting you from acting as a free Agent in this universe.
Same thing devil did when Adam and all others were caught red handed after their mistake
in the climax of that episode in Eden.
Rather than accepting his jealousy, arrogance, and mistake he put the blame on destiny.
In Last Scripture God tells in Adams story that Devil said, "My Lord, because You have
put me in error, I will surely make disobedience attractive to them on earth, and I will mislead
them all.
So devil put all his blame on God or destiny while Adams reaction was opposite and he repented
and asked forgiveness for his error.
As devil is with us all human beings and Jinns so whenever we blame destiny and God's act
is because of that evil suggestion devil put in our heart.
So you blame destiny only when you fails or events things go against you.
You never blame destiny when you gets good.
Now because God always says in His scriptures like in the last scripture God said "And
you do not will except that God wills Lord of the worlds".
This should not be confused for Example with the case of a person going to kill someone.
Now God has written for him that he would be a killer but that does not mean He made
him to kill that person.
Its only that God by His will gave us the liberty to decide between our options and
choose them.
If you want guidance He will guide you.
How it happens lets consider another example as in Part 11, I told you that God has made
for you choices and options which pop up every second and He has given you free will to choose
among these options.
Consider you are sitting in a library or at your home with your laptop and surfing on
internet.
Now as per God's revelations and scriptures first part of effort you have to put and than
God will help you Now if you decide to read or to see some stuff some book some video,
who can force you not to read or watch that.
And you also have full liberty to see search good things or Bad things available.
But after you exercise your option and decide to consume that time in some good work either
related to your education or your religion God facilitates you in that and you may come
across some very good stuff which later might change your way of thinking and even your
life.
God facilitates you in whatever direction you want to go.
This is the basis of all inventions in human history all people who are struggling in some
field got new ideas just like a blink of an eye.
This would never happen without putting any effort on your part.
So it's Actually God's will and human effort that work together in this universe of yours.
Same principal is for prophets and righteous.
They got God's help after they put all their effort.
Red sea parted when Moses struggled and of 80 years of age.
Madina became islamic state after continuous struggle of decades and when Muhammad was
53 years old.
Now consider you are owner of a business and you have 20 employees.
One day you announce that you will give a Cash prize to those 10 persons who perform
certain tasks and targets more than others.
Now as you have those employees with you since few years and you know all of them very well,
you write in your notepad the name of those ten in advance who will win that prize.
And by the end of task it happens that they are exactly the same as you have already written
in your notepad.
I ask you a question that by writing this does by any means you have favored them to
win or restricted the chances of others.
But actually those whose names you have already written as the winners are the employees that
do the right things, hard work and sincere effort anyway whether you give the incentive
of prize or not.
While the others are the ones who actually don't do anything to deserve that regardless
of you write their names or not.
Another example now consider one of your friend gets a time machine he goes in future and
look all your life till end then comes back and writes a book on you.
Now doest it mean he restricted your free will and forced you to do those actions he
has written in the book.
I know that these analogies have many short comings as God is omniscient and omnipotent
and He not only knows your future but also overall dominant on your will as he created
you and all the abilities you have got are actually granted by Him.
And these are the actual limitations and therefore everyone will be accounted for only that much
which he has been bestowed with, not more than that.
A person responsible for a small house will not be held accountable for the matters, wrongdoings,
injustice and corruption going in the town.
Thats why it is a serious matter and big burden if someone has got a position in society as
with authority comes the responsibilities.
God's knowledge is different from the knowledge of his creation as it's not preceded by ignorance
not that God did not know and then he learned nor is it followed by forgetfulness that he
now knows but in the future it may slip from His memory.
God created the actions of people.
They are attributed to God as He created them put them into existence.
It is not that God created Good and evil actions it is that He made their existence possible
but the human beings earn the action.
Evil is not be attributed to God.
Evil is relative as for example poison of snake is an evil for human beings but a good
thing for snake, teeth and claws of tiger have evil for other animals but blessing for
him, horns of bull have evil for other but good for his defense.
So as in the Last scripture God says "Say, I seek refuge in the Lord of daybreak From
the evil of that which He created And from the evil of darkness when it settles".
Here God says to seek refuge from the evil of that (creation) which he created and not
saying from the evil of which He created.
So creation, events, aspects exist which have evil in them but they are not created as pure
evil.
Even Devil God created is not pure Evil or created for the purpose of evil.
It is like a by product of creation as you get from your factories during manufacturing
something good.
And its purpose is to make this universe a trial without devil how do we get rewarded
as if there is no negative thought and only good exist than there is no purpose of creating
this universe If God had willed that all should be good and pious and obey Him he would not
have created you, as those beings which are with Him enough for His praises and glorify
him morning and evening.
O people our responsibility is to do struggle to put our effort and than to pray and ask
for God's help.
We are just responsible for the effort not for the results, leave results on God, as
if succeeds then good.
And even if no result and success here you will be successful in hereafter.
Specially Whenever you do struggle for God's cause, for some bigger objective, beyond yourself
for the sake of humanity than remember success is not a criteria.
As Jesus is one of the biggest prophets of God but apparently failed in this world.
While there are some slaves of your Lord who were extremely successful in this world in
their missions.
It doesn't matter if 4000 are watching this program or 4000 million.
If God Wills then a time will come that He will put effect in it.
As mentioned in the last scripture I want to live my life like that and to proclaim
that.
"Indeed my prayer, my rites, my rituals, my work, my living and my dying are for God,
Lord of the worlds.
He has no partner; with this I have been commanded.
And I am the first of those who surrender to Him.
If my Lord Wills I will continue and conclude this topic in next program.
