The fatalistic nature of Islam is apparent in its view of victors in war. In the section entitled The Call to Jihad in the Qur’an published by Darussalam it reads, “Similarly the Qur’an points out the well-known fact that the battle is by turns, (one) day (victory) is for you — (the other) day (victory) is for others — as Allah said: “If a wound (and killing) has touched you, be sure a similar wound (and killing) has touched the others. And so are the days (good and not so good), that We give to men by turns...” (Sura 3:140). So apparently Allah is for both sides. These would not be very encouraging words for most western soldiers. It’s one thing to say “you win some, you lose some” in a game of checkers, but if that is God’s attitude on your life, one might consider a different God.
"And every nation has its appointed term; when their term comes, neither can
they delay it nor can they advance it an hour" (Surah 7:34).
So why do Muslims complain about their miserable state of being when it is
all part of Allah's great plan?
