Intersting topic this about fate...
Fate is what we make it to be. Totally agreed with SMR that if it was written in our fate to be a CA then we would pass it without any preparation whatsoever. Similarly, if our fate was to be a thief or a murderer or to go in hell, we would be unable to change it.
God has given us free will and an understanding of right and wrong. Now its up to us to choose our paths and make our own fate.
Achha waisey, there is this concept of 'Loh-e-mehfooz' (is it the right word??), the book in which every person's fate has been preset and written. Can anybody put some more light on this? Does it not counter the concept of free will and man being 'ashraf-ul-makhlooqat'?
