Secret of Destiny


The matters that affect a person’s will that are outside of his control, enter into the field of divine destiny.

One should consider the positive influences that lead one’s will to goodness as divine blessings and give thanks to Allah.

For example, being born in a faithful and devoted family, a righteous environment and having the opportunity to have a good education is a big blessing.

As for the negative effect:

A person should surrender to the will of Allah Almighty in these matters.

He should not consider them as an excuse for doing evil because there is no environmental condition that can be  given as an excuse to disobey Allah. For, Allah Almighty has created countless proofs for the existence and unity of His Supreme Being in both the inner and outer world of every human being.

It should not be forgotten that environmental conditions can’t have a complete influence on the course of human beings and they do not have the power to control human will.

Allah Almighty sent His prophets to the world under very different conditions in order to explain and prove this matter:

He made some of them rich like Prophet Sulayman PBUH,


- And tested some of them with very heavy illnesses and losses, like 

Prophet Ayyub PBUH.

However, the enormous wealth and kingdom that Prophet Sulayman PBUH had, couldn’t lead him to pride and arrogance as he knew how to protect his heart. 

Prophet Ayyub PBUH also preserved his state of praise, gratitude and contentment with his Lord in the face of severe troubles, calamities and diseases. 

In other words, both of them succeeded in conditions that are opposite to each other. Allah Almighty said about both of them,“ُدْبَعْال َمْعِن : what a beautiful servant he is” (Sad, 30, 44).

- Prophet Musa PBUH was raised up in one of the worst possible places, namely in the palace of Pharaoh, but he was utterly incorruptible. 

Afterwards, he lived in poverty and hunger in the deserts of Madyan, but nothing changed him from his lofty spiritual state and perfect contentment.

- Prophet Ibrahim PBUH lived in a society where he had no one to teach him tawhid ( Oneness of Allah). However, despite these negative conditions he never gave up the struggle for tawhid. 

- Prophet Yusuf PBUH was in the position of an adopted slave in a life that was very conducive to all kinds of sins and wrongdoings. However, he was able to protect his chastity and morals by taking refuge in Allah. 

These blessed people were protected from the negative effects and environmental conditions by Allah. Which means that the will of the servant is able to overcome even the most unfavorable conditions with the help of Allah Almighty. 

Therefore, a believer should never use the bad events and bitter surprises of life as an excuse for negligence in servitude. He should not hide behind any excuse concerning servitude to God. 

It should not be forgotten that the difficulty and heaviness of the test conditions will increase the reward of the good action even more. Indeed, the value of a victory is greater in proportion to the difficulties endured to achieve it.

Challenges Faced by Community Health Practitioners

Community health practitioners face various challenges in fulfilling their roles effectively, including resource constraints and training needs.
