Summary
Belief in divine decree is one of the pillars of faith that every person must hold, and complaining about or blaming the decree set by Allah is prohibited. Using fate as an excuse to escape responsibility for sin is the argument of the polytheists, which the Quran refutes. A believer is expected to think well of Allah, be patient with trials, pray often for strength of faith, and increase knowledge of religion and creed.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Selain itu Baginda SAW melarang hambanya merungut dan menyalahi takdir yang di tetapkan Allah SWT.
