🔻Paying attention to one’s destiny means that we should realize that on the highway of life, we cannot make a U-turn and change our path at just any time we want.
🔻Sometimes a person is a captive of his past goodness.
👉🏼 Destiny (4)
🔸A person does not have the #authority to change his path at just any time that he wants. Paying attention to our #destinies means that we should know we are not completely free to do all good or bad deeds. On the highway of life, we cannot make a U-turn and change our path at just any time we want. Sometimes we have to travel one kilometre to get to a place where we can make a U-turn. For example, when a tradition says, “The worship acts of a person who eats from unlawful money will not be accepted for forty days,” [Kanz al-Amal, tradition no. 9266] this means that he cannot make a U-turn and change his path for forty days.
🔸It is very good for us to look at these compulsory parts of our lives. Of course, according to what Imam Sadiq (‘a) said, “We are not completely #forced, nor are we completely #free. Rather, it is something between these two.” [Kafi, vol. 1, p. 160] We should pay attention to this fact that at least a part of our lives is not in our control.
🔸Sometimes a person is captivated by his past #goodness. For example, consider a person who serves the Household of the Prophet (‘a) or their friends, honors the religious rites or makes a sacrifice at some time. Does such a person have the authority to do every bad deed he wants to do? No! God will not let him.
🔸Imam Husayn (‘a) said, “When people want to obey God, God will not stop them. However, when they want to commit a sin, if God wants, He will put a distance between them and their intention.” [Makatib al-A’imah, vol. 3, p. 151]
