🔻It is not God’s plan to bring hardships and calamities for His servants, unless the divine testing system requires a servant to be tested by a hardship or calamity.
🔻Paying attention to destinies determined by God reduces a person’s sorrows and eliminates regret and jealousy.
👉🏼 Destiny (5)
🔸We should believe that destinies determined by God are ruling over our individual and social lives, although it is possible for us to affect divine providence. We must also pay attention to this question that what is the most important factor in determining our destinies.
🔸One can affect his/her #destiny. For example, we can pray or give charity. However, our prayers will be answered only if that “determining factor” allows it. If it does not allow it, our prayers will not be answered, even if we are a good servant.
🔸The main and most determining factor for our destinies is #testing and divine trials. We have been created to be tested in this world.
🔸It is not God’s plan to bring #hardships and calamities for His servants, unless the divine trials and testing system requires a servant to be tested by a hardship or calamity. It is not God’s plan to give #ease to His servants in this world unless testing requires it. It is not God’s plan to give or take away #opportunities from His servants, unless testing requires this.
🔸For example, God gives much #sustenance to some people while He keeps some people poor. If He gives much sustenance to one servant, this is the way he is being tested. And if God gives little sustenance to another person, that is due to his test. [Nahj al-Balaghah, sermon no. 91]
🔸This means that all the moments of our lives and all the destinies that God has determined for us, from any way we look at, are under the influence of the determining factor, which is testing and trials. Paying attention to destinies determined by God reduces a person’s sorrows and eliminates regret and jealousy.
