This lyric does not mock fate
Assalaamu alaykum. I am learning a song which I will sing without music. The song contains certain lyrics regarding which I worry whether they are Islamically allowed or not.

Allaah guarantees sustenance of His creation
If Allaah has promised for sustained sustenance and prohibited abortion, then why does sustenance (money in particular) keep on diminishing with each child added to the family? Why do resources not increase with each added member of the family? Rather, it keeps on becoming difficult to pay for day-to-day bare minimums (without any greed for luxuries)... More

Assalaamu alaykum. My question is the following: I cannot understand the wisdom of why Allaah, The Exalted, sometimes make things easier on some people and they live a happy life despite the fact that they have harmed others by backbiting and gloating over their misfortunes?

Aslamualalakaum. Can you please refute this: In 7:27 Allah says that Allah made devils friends to the kafir,but in7:30 it says that non believers chose to friends. How do we relate the two? Some people saying who chooses, Allah or kafir if the devils are their friend?

Feeling guilty for refusing a job offer
Assalaamou'alaikoum. Two years ago, I made a lot of duahs for Allah to grant me a job which is halal and easy, and Alhamdulillah my duahs were answered and I was offered a job overseas which satisfies all my criteria.

The Quran says that if Allah punished the wrong doers on the earth, there would be nothing left on it, but it then says that Allah destroys people and cities, how come Allah performs miracles in some situations and not in others, why does he intervene..

So I just want to check that our thoughts and intentions.. More

As-salaamu 3laikum, I would like to know if it is allowed to laugh/make jokes about everyday things that Allah decrees to happen to us. For example, if there is an extremely strong wind and someone laughs about the fact that every time he tried to walk in one direction, the wind turned him around and he had to go in the other direction, then later he..

Obstacles in the path of something beneficial are not deterrents but tests
Asalam Alaikum Sometimes I plan to do something but obstacles get in my way. What I want to do is not haram and my intention is only to get closer to Allah.

But obstacles pop up in my way like a family member.. More
