The Path to Paradise or Hellfire: How Allah Facilitates Our Fate

Understanding the Concept of Fate and Free Will in Islam

RIGHTEOUS AND WICKED FACILITATED FOR THEIR FATE.

“As for he who gives and fears ALLĀH, and believes in the best ˹reward˺, WE will make smooth for him the path of ease (goodness).

But he who is greedy miser and thinks himself self-sufficient, and denies the best ˹reward˺, WE will make smooth for him the path for evil.”

{Surah Al-Layl: Verse 5-10}

Hisham ibn Hakim reported: A man came to the Messenger of ALLĀH (ﷺ) and he said, “O Messenger of ALLĀH, shall we start acting or has fate already been decreed?”

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Verily, ALLĀH Almighty took the progeny of Adam from their backs and made them bear witness against themselves. Then, HE announced to them in HIS palms, saying: These are in Paradise, and these are in Hellfire. Thus, the people of Paradise are facilitated for the deeds of Paradise, and the people of Hellfire are facilitated for the deeds of Hellfire.”

{al-Sunnah li-Ibn Abi‌ ‘A‌s‌im #168}

Ibn al-Jawzī (may ALLĀH have mercy on him) said: “If you want to know your value with your Lord, look to how HE is using you and what actions HE has kept you busy with.” {Timeless Seeds of Advice}
