Allah had
a plan for you before you were born, and He still has a plan for you. Allah's
plan for you is necessary and glorious. His plan is vital to your success
and important to the world.
Allah's
plan is not set in stone, as if we were robots pre-programmed in the factory.
That would strip us of free will and deny our natures. Rather, I believe that
Allah has a flexible plan for each human being: a plan that allows that
person to benefit the world with his/her unique talents.
This
is in fact the Islamic view of al-Qadar, or predestination. There is no doubt
that Allah has decreed everything that happens in the universe from the
beginning of time to the end, and that Allah has written it all in al-Lawh
al-Mahfooz (the Book of Decrees).
