Your English book got it all wrong. In Switzerland 6 is the best grade and 4 is still good. Many Americans think that 6 means F and 4 means D. Wrong! Einstein was an above average student.

Einstein was a very good student, in fact, both in elementary school and high school. Look at his grade sheet:

I just don't see what his school grades have to do with what he later accomplished.

it was Allah who give wisdom,because we all know Einstein was a below average student in fact he was one of the most weak students in his classroom.if he could have believe in his school grades he could have never become what he was,as rightly said Allah is the best planner(Surah Al Imran ch 3 v 54).

Einstein was wrong. Allah does play dice. Otherwise we can't explain quantum mechanics. God built probabilities into his natural laws.

Superstition is fairly common among nonbelievers and believers of all religions alike. It's a worldwide phenomenon. The best medicine against it is higher education and endorsing the values of the Age of Enlightenment.

Luck is the occurrence of an unlikely event. Suppose you got 2 dice and you roll them once. You win when you throw 6 and 6. So when you do, you are lucky, because the likelihood is only 1/36.
