Islamic Concepts

I hope this blog would be found useful.I decided to make its theme about introducing islam for non-muslims and trying to correct many misconceptions that people have.I would be grateful to receive ur comments,but please no insults,fightings and so on.The site is for decent wise people who wanna have a rational discussion and not a quarrel.This is about seeking the truth ,so you shouldn't be fanatic about one thing when- logically -it seems wrong.

Famous worldwide misconceptions: 2)Luck(coincidence,chance)

All the people (including me ofcourse) always relate some unexpected things to what we call Luck, Coincidence, Chance.. all that. For example , during a game of football(soccer) , a team might be in full control of the game and had many chances but wasted most or all of them , while the opponent was playing bad and had much less chances but it scored more and won the game!!! Any viewer will say that team had bad luck and the other had good luck..!! Also in penalty shootout , all people say that this is mere luck.... So are we right , or does luck not exist????


Suppose that luck exist,,imagine one only situation happening in your whole life by chance..Now imagine also one single lucky situation happening to every other person in this world, only once in a lifetime. Now count the number of situations that occur by chance.. That's right, they will be billions because there are billions of living people .Now since we permitted luck here to humans , it can also permitted to all living creatures , and guess what , can be permitted to natural phenomenas and almost evreything in the universe!!! Oh and count the number of living creatures that lived and died in the past. So we end with Trilllions and Trillions of lucky situations, coincidences and things that were made by chance!!!!!

If such number of coincidences were permitted , this universe would have been upside down and Chaos would have been the rule, but what we see is a universe in harmony. For a manager in whichever field to be successful , he should not leave anything for chance. That's a famous word we say. So what about the supernatural power that governs this universe, He also doesn't leave anything for chance.

Some people would argue that there are billions of stupid trivial things , God is much greater than these to care about. I tell them , you got it the other way: GOD is much greater to leave anything for chance, even the most trivial stupid things.. Everything is done with his knowledge and by his permission.

So when this team wins, IT IS DONE FOR A REASON... May be to see if the winning team thank God and work more to improve or pride gets into their hearts adn start to reduce training,and at the same time the losing team will get depressed ,get angry with God and stop training or keep the faith and work more and more ..That's for example.


To sum up , my point is that there is nothing as luck and coincidence.Everything happening is made for a reason and under full control from Allah using his laws(including the laws of science). Things that we see trivial , might not be so to Allah.. just like paying attention to trivial things in your work will make you more and more efficient at it meaning that these bits and pieces did actually matter.

Jazak Allah 5ayran,

inshalla you may be rewarded with all ajir for this bro. this is a great thing you're doing but please i want you to remember that this will be a responsibility you will be asked about one day. Make sure you clarify things right, and make sure you maintain your blog and post more often... also make sure you tell as many people as you can about it.

i'd love to help you with this small project if you needed information, sources, or overall help in the blog.

Salam,

You are making a good effort here, but it seems a bit strange that you used the example of winning a lottery, which is gambling and therefore forbidden by Islam, as an example of how Allah helps people!
