There's no "Free will"... Everything happens with the will of Allah and he has created this earth and time itself. Allah SWT is not bounded by his creation and time plus fate are things already set in stone. It was written.

Humans do not know what is written. This ignorance gives us the option to choose.

And in regards to your question, at the end of the day human beings must be responsible for their actions. We will never understand fate fully, but we do understand right from wrong. A country such as Somalia killed itself and destroyed its institutions to deal with a crisis such as the one we are witnessing.

For the people dying, it simply is there time and all you can do is pray for those who are passing away to be entered into jannah on the day of judgement and for the ones who are suffering to donate and spread the world.
So, help me to understand;
do you mean that if I decide not to pray; if I kill someone; if I lie it is the will of Allah????? in order words if one sins it is the will of Allah.

Some people say natural disasters are brought about directly by God unlike human conflict, so if there is a natural disaster God is punishing the people.

It's a very simplistic view and I don't agree with it lakin today I was reflecting on how unreligious the whole world is becoming. Even Christians aren't so Christian any more. Atheists aside so many people go on saying "I believe there is a God" yet not engaging in worship or trying to understand who this God they believe in is or why they are here. All this lack of worship, conflict and movement away from God must surely have an effect on the natural balance of the world?

If that is the case then why is God is punishing to weakest? nomads

The other day i was listening RADIO sweden waxay ka hadlayeen about food. every year food worth 5 billion dollars are wasted before even its reachs the customers. eatable good food had been wasted yearly worth more than 5 million dollar every year. 5 billion dollars could feed whole Somalia fully a 5 years.

so i started asking my self this philosofical question.

Somalia people are dying whit out food. sweden intay cuntadii ka badatay ayey 5 billion dollar cunto qiimaheeda ah ayey dukaamadeeda sanad waliba daadiyaan.

marka suaasheeyda waa sidan? this is not religios question laakiin waa suaal qof waliba is weydiin karto?
Why god almighty give 90% atheist people of sweden more food than they want to eat and 100% muslim somalis dying for luck of food?
of course allah had hes way of doing things, but did you ever ask yourself that question?

My answer i think its allah gave humans freewill. as long as humans what ever they are living on this planet muslims atheist christians voodisim all of them have their destiny in their own hands and allah will not intervene as long as they are living on this planet. and god allow humans to make their world better or like somalia hell on the earth.
so what do you think?

why ethiest sweden have more than they need to eat and somalis have nothing?

ops:-
iam muslim 100% so no personal attack


The Drought started when Yalaxoow and abgal clan started asking "philosofical questions.

That is why the argument doesn't make sense to me.

The problem is that Allah's name is used as a defensive mechanism; He has become the bogeyman.

If someone kills another, it is AlLah's will

If some innocent people are starving it is Allah's will


Logic dictates that human beings are responsible for their own paths
