Does Islam Teach About Fatalism?
Question: Hello, Fate or destiny seems to be very complicated for me to understand. From what I have read about destiny and fate, this is my finding: Allah has control over everything we do and Allah knows what we are going to do. The question that first arises is: Why are we held accountable on the Day of Judgment for our actions, as Allah has control over what we do? Doing further research I discovered that humans have freedom of choice, and there is a right way to achieve your destiny and a wrong way. But this contradicts with the statement “Allah has control of everything we do.” Doesn’t this also mean that Allah has control on the freedom of choice we have? Furthermore if we are destined to fail, then why do we pray to Allah to achieve success? For example, being a student, why should I try studying for my final exams, as the grades I will get have been written in my destiny? The result will be the same no matter how much I study and how much I pray for success. Why bother praying for success when Allah has already decided my fate? Why don’t we just sit back and watch our fate unfold?
In the Netherlands the hijab (headscarf) has been the subject of many discussions. The question remains whether it is representative, safe to wear during sports activities or opposed to women’s rights. Many native Dutch people feel that wearing the hijab symbolizes oppression of women. In the Western world, wearing a hijab was in vogue in the ‘50’s and early ‘60’s. Since the arrival of Muslim women in the late ‘60’s and early ‘70’s, due to the immigration of foreign labourers, the hijab has become a taboo.
The Dutch designer Cindy Van Den Bremen, represents the brains behind Capsters. The history of Capsters starts in the graduation project of Van den Bremen at the Design Academy Eindhoven back in 1999. The concept was based on the idea to give Muslim girls and their gym teachers in the Netherlands an alternative to the traditional hijab to wear during gym classes. The designs were realized in close co-operation with Muslim girls and an Imam. Due to positive publicity, orders started coming in and soon the brand Capsters® was born.
In 2001 the first sports series were launched and has eversince been sold worldwide. Not only have the Muslim women showed interest, but other women and even men as well. For several years now Capsters have served an international and diverse clientele.
