Assalamualaikum wbt
Well
since I haven’t been writing in decades. I'm gonna throw to you a bundle of posts
today. *I don’t even know whose bother to read this* but, hope you find this
entertaining and useful.
I still
remember this one particular question. An IQ question on making the right
choice. A teacher once mentioned it and we kept on passing it around the
school. With high hope, to expect this kind of question would be asked in
interview for scholarships. Did they? *Narh! They never did*

You’re
driving alone in a 2 seated Mercedes on a dessert with sun shining brightly on
your head. *Don’t ask me why it is on dessert despite it sound illogic*.
Abruptly, you came across three persons stranded in the middle of nowhere that obviously
needed your aid, a beautiful lady, an injured guy and a close friend of your
father. You can only carry one. Who would you choose? *end*
Well,
making a choice is not easy. It is harder if we get confused between the good
one, better and which one is the best? One wrong move, you will lose it, maybe
forever. In economic term we called it opportunity
cost. *Wow, at last my econs is coming handy*simply means sacrificing one
for another.
Islamically
speaking,
Do we
ever wonder, in Islam, if everything has been written in Lauh Mahfuz, *a book
where fate of every mankind has been written since his/her birth* why Allah
still allows us to make choices in life?
Would it
against fate if we made another choice?
It is
common to say, life is all about choices. If you choose to be a thief, then a
thief will you be. If you choose to be an engineer, an engineer will you be
then. *I wanted to be an accountant, FYI if you guys are wondering, if not,
nevermind...*

He is
unfair for writing his fate as a burglar or a serial killer?
*I’m not
an expert in answering these actually, I’ll call someone else*
“Oh, no mate. Never, we aren’t a
robot” my friend
spoke.
“He made you choose but you will
never overrule the written fate. You are not reading this because it has been
written, because you choose to. You can stop reading now and never come back.
I’m not gonna stop you.”
He added.
One slip
of Nescafe went down my throat.
“Can I’ve some mate, a bit
thirsty here”
“Oh sorry, where’s my manner lol” I quickly handed him a glass of
teh tarik. His favourite.
“Where were we? Oh yes. You see
your choice and what was written is matching.”
“How come He know what I gonna choose
instantly, I might change my mind in the last minute” I asked as he was enjoying the
warm teh tarik.
“He is God. Of couse He knows
everything. His knowledge covers everything even before you are born. He knows
what you gonna choose. So it is not his fault if you chose to be some bad guy,
killing or robbing others. You had the choice initially.
”
I
nodded.
“So, in life how do I know I’ve
made the right choice?”
I asked again
“He provided you with the manual,
the Quran. He gave you Prophet to bring blessing and warnings. He left you with
sunnah. All these are the source and roots in making choices, orite?” He smiled.
“Orite, cheers mate!” I watched him finished his last
drop.
*Oh
Allah, please guide me in making the best and right decision*
If it is
still unclear, please ask or refer to more complete sources. Eg. Hadis 4 imam
Nawawi.
And the
answer to that IQ question, you decide.
