The Role of Fates in Making Changes in Light of the Holy Quran

Abstract

This paper aimed to show the role of fates in making changes in light of the Holy Quran. A descriptive and analytical approach was used to collect the concepts that constructed the fate system, describing the whole Quranic approach in dealing with such concepts and analysing the related texts in light of the Quranic comprehension approach. The research was ranged into three sections: Section I dealt with ''psychological fates''; Section II dealt with ''scientific fates''; and Section III dealt with ''practical fates''.  The paper concludes that the miscomprehension of fate twists most Muslims' thought and actions to an obligatory faith, spreading the culture of negativity and waiting instead of depending on self. The fate in the Holy Quran has an energy that enables it to push individuals and Islamic entities to enact their abilities and talents. The Holy Quran proves human effectiveness and choice within the circles of psychological, scientific, and practical fates on which they could go ahead or retreat, be strong or weak, and be proud or servile. That is, they could make their lives as they want. Thus, a Muslim shall not depend on these fates mentally and psychologically and realise that they cannot work in such a way unless Allah's willingness allows that.
