In the Name of God - Creator Redeeemer Sanctifier.
May the peace of Christ be with you!
Quote:Two people with the same illness treated by the same doctor, one dies, one does not. Why?
Two people are in a car accident and the car it totalled, one walks away, the other does not.
Two people go to the ER. One has a headache and the other was shot in the head. Headache dies, Gun shot lives.
Sobhan Allah, without even realizing it, you've argued my point for me, Dan.
Please think for a moment & see if you can work out for me what the difference is between the above examples & dying due to "bombs from the sky", "explosions" & "abortions".
Quote:Do we really have any say over when we die?
It depends whether or not it occurs naturally (hint hint).
Quote:To deny that life and death are ultimately up to the Creator is to deny His Absolute Power and Knowledge. I will never take back the statement that Allah is in control of all.
To a certain extent, I'd agree with you. But this is where I get confused over pre-destinaion & freewill in Islam. If Allah (SWT) decreed that Sadam Hussein (RIP) die in the manner he did, do his killers get away scot free because they were just co-operating with Allah's (SWT) will??? (sorry for using a poor example)
DO YOU FINALLY UNDERSTAND WHERE I'M COMING FROM???
This topic is bitter-sweet... interesting yet sad.
May God bless all His creation.
