❀ Objection:
If du‘a (supplication) can alter taqdeer (destiny), how can Allah still be the sole authority over destiny? Does He become subject to natural laws and unable to change them?✔ Understanding the Mechanism of Destiny:
➊ Destiny (Taqdeer) is part of a complex divine system created by Allah.Every event has a purpose and consequence.
All prayers are neither immediately accepted nor outright rejected; rather, they function within a universal equilibrium, structured for the well-being of the cosmos, society, and individuals.
✿ The Dynamics of Du‘a:
➋ Du‘a does not impact everyone equally.For example, if a group prays for the sun to move farther to reduce heat, it may benefit them but harm others in colder regions.
Similarly, some may pray for wealth, yet wealth may lead to moral or social ruin in their specific case.
Others ask for children, but Allah knows that children may not be in their best interest.
✔ Allah’s Wisdom and Justice:
Allah’s justice is not bound by written laws. He acts with wisdom and sovereignty, balancing mercy, patience, and precision in His decrees.❖ The Divine Management:
➌ A common objection is: If God exists, why doesn't He immediately punish oppressors or accept the oppressed's prayers?The truth is: Sometimes Allah delivers justice instantly, and sometimes He delays — always in line with His infinite wisdom.
He may grant respite to the wrongdoer so they may repent, not because He is unaware or incapable.
✿ The Atheistic Viewpoint:
Atheists often expect God to operate according to their personal logic.But divine wisdom surpasses human intellect. Just as in a classroom, all students are taught from the same curriculum, Allah's universal system applies to all, though He governs it with individualized wisdom.
❀ Summary:
◈ Allah is not bound by natural laws — He is the creator and manager of them.◈ The relationship between du‘a and destiny is rooted in divine wisdom and justice.
◈ Every decision of Allah is made within a broader balance that ensures benefit on personal and cosmic levels.
