Predestined Destiny and Good Deeds

SUMMARY: Everyone's destiny is predetermined, but it is still important to do good deeds as they will make the path to success easier.

Ali may Allah be pleased with him said: "We were at a funeral at Al-Baqi when the Prophet came and sat. So we sat with him. He had a stick with which he was scratching his head toward the heavens, and said: 'There is not a single soul except that his place of entry has been decreed.’ The people said: 'O Messenger of Allah! Shall we not then rely upon what has been written upon us? For whoever is t be among the people of bliss, then he shall do that acts that lead to bliss, and whoever is to be among the people of misery, then he shall do the acts that lead to misery?’ He said: 'Rather, do the deeds, for everyone is facilitated. As for the one who shall be among the people of bliss; then verily he is facilitated to do the acts that lead to bliss. And as for the one who shall be among the people of misery.’ Then he recited: As for him who has Taqwa, And believes in Al-Husna. We will make smooth for him the patch of ease. But he who is greedy and thinks him self-sufficient, and denies Al-Husna. We will make smooth for him the path to evil. And what will he wealth avail him when he goes down?"

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about predestination and how it affects our lives. It tells us that although our destiny has already been determined, we should still strive to do good deeds as this will make the path of success easier for us. The Prophet Muhammad [peace be upon him] used a metaphor of a stick scratching his head towards the heavens to explain this concept. He also recited a verse from the Quran which states that those who have faith in God and are mindful of Him will have an easy path ahead, while those who are greedy and think they can achieve everything on their own will have difficulty in life. This hadith teaches us that although our fate has been predetermined, we should still strive to do good deeds so that we can reach our goals more easily.
