Summary
The division of destiny into mubram and mu’allaq does not exist as terms in the texts, but its substance is found in the Qur’an and Hadith. Mubram destiny is final and written in the Preserved Tablet, while mu’allaq destiny is recorded by the angels and may change by Allah’s permission depending on human effort. Scholars differ on whether mu’allaq decree means an actual increase in lifespan or an increase in blessing, and Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani preferred blessing in one’s life. The ruling concludes that the division is not an invention without clear basis.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Pembahagian seperti yang disoal itu sememangnya tidak wujud atas nama tetapi hakikatnya, ia memang terdapat dalam al-Qur'an dan al-Hadis (al-ibrah bi al-musammayat la bi al-asma').
