Muslims: How do you submit yourself to Fate?

Question

I find it so hard to let go of what I want, even if it conflicts with what God wants. I mean, I'm happy to live chastely and modestly, to try to improve my ways of being a mother, and to do good for other people. But there are still things I don't want to peacefully submit to... For instance, I don't like to suffer painful things, and I like to eat too much food. How do you learn to submit yourself to the trials that come in life, and to take them peacefully, rather than complaining and wishing things were some other way?

Answer 1

I am Atheist.  I realize that life is the way it is because it's how I made it for myself.  Luckily I live in a country where my actions greatly affect my future.  I feel bad for people that live in countries with no oppurtunity to change things for themselves.  Anyway, I do have that choice and I accept the fact that if something sucks in my life, either I change it or accept it.  No use in feeling bad over something you can't change.  No use in feeling bad over something that you want to do either, why feel bad over human instincts?  IE s*x.  However, if you eat too much this could hinder other things you want to do in life, IE Live long and healthy, travel the world and see things, you'll be too fat to get around, good s*x cause you're too out of shape.  So the next time you take a bite of that doughnut, think twice about whats important in your life, health or taste?  Good luck.

Hi, I am a muslim, and accepting fate is a coherent part of Islam.

What we believe, that a muslim life is all goodness. If a good fate happened to him/her, then he/she should thanks God. (giving charity, being good is also forms of thanking)

If bad fate happened to him/her, then it is a test from God, so there will be big rewards for being patient. Also, any bad fate, means it will reduce the sins that we did.

So, it is very common, to see muslims with strong faith having pain and saying "Thanks God". You will also see muslims with weak faith saying comments like "life isn't fair, why God is doing this to me ..etc"

The whole strength of faith comes from knowing, that you are only living a tiny part of the life, the real life comes in the day after. This life is a big test for us.

ah,

Just for you to know the truth

There have to be a purpose for life otherwise we will miss the peaceful path of happiness so we want to be just better everyday

So, spiritually, what is God? , What’s makes God as god? , What is God’s Power? , For all sort of these questions, I have very limited understanding so Let me give you the point. Well, just try to know, what’s makes God as god, the Power, isn’t it? So what the power can do? Ah? Well, it can give the ability to organise all things & it can give the ability to separate everything and most importantly, the Ability to control everything, isn’t it? Isn’t it good? Ah? So, what I try to say here is, from my hard study and research effort with the help from god, I realized that the ability to control everything, the Power of God is gradually increased in the full amount to use so; The Power of God is always the omnipotent and existed among everything. & The God now is always the same omnipotent for us, who is organised us and we are growing towards perfection. The perfection is the final stage, not the end. & The Power of God, the Ability is the reward for us to control everything in a proper manner, like the true God of goodness. & Everlasting Happiness is the final stage. & it cannot come alone without the final stage perfection of God. & if god always perfect in perfection then there have to be beginning with God for the organizing progress of all things. So, there is No end and also No beginning for all things, including this on going organizing progress. So we cannot get anything from nothing. & how could that be possible to be perfect in perfection always, ah…? No way has the perfection of god come first or the growth towards perfection. There is No End and there is No beginning and so the Ability is for the Love of Joy & ~ LOVE IS THE ABILITY ~

If you don’t still agree, then note this important point: - you can use any thing for Good or Bad so, whenever possible If you ask the god for the good reason to give you the ability perfection, because of your obedience, then the God will give you, if the god is good and Almighty. Simple logical prove (the evidence) for this concept. So Islam, BUT

If you are humble, please... Pray to know the truth from true God by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit with great faith and. Good in Bad & Bad in Good so the values are most important. God gave us the rights to do what is right for you & sometimes, things can be right in your point of view but wrong in Public point of view so Basically, just pray about it for the Good Answer and try to do the God's will first always & If you think, why so much trouble and pain in this world…? Then there is only one reason, without pain, No pleasure and without pleasure, no pain. So without them, we cannot enjoy this life so always we need them in our development towards the perfection of God. So-so you use pain and pleasure instead of pain and pleasure use you. I mean the vision of your future should be clear & it have to pull you rather than you have to push so you must link a lot of pleasure in order to succeed in the Best job. When you feel strong enough links a lot of pleasure in your subconscious mind and your desire for success should be greater than your fear of failure. & It is wonderful nature for us by the true God. And we all make mistakes so it is hard to look for star in daylight. So just in faith… it is possible. Like that the faith in true God. &  If you think, even expert can be wrong then you have to make the fine research in all most everything so It is hard and some time, it is impossible to achieve so Why we need inappropriate action to find the owner of higher power? So, because of Lack of faith in true God, we do not have the great gift of understanding of things. & All things are spiritually first, to govern by God with glory so closely, Have a look at this world of wonders of yours and then you know the truth, when you listen to your real voice and then Having a strong desire to do the best every day then stick with the best to do your best. And most importantly, try to be grateful for what you have now & try to know where you come from to have the great gift of understanding and then, have the faith to become the best winner in your life. & The Law of mercy cannot rob the Law of justice so Justice demands the punishment of our sin but The Law of mercy requires the forgiveness to give to us and God is perfect in perfection so cannot violate his laws so The God provided the way to our salvation to overcome our sin so Jesus Christ sacrifice is much needed to return to live with God, so Jesus Christ is our savior.

Well, It is the time to make the great decision.

Good luck.

The power is focus with the great mindset

The God do everything in the world for a wisdom , it may be clear for us or not .

the muslim should always trust the God and if something bad happened to him ,he should be patient as the God is testing our faith.

we may hope something and be very sad if we didn't get it  and when we get it , it harm us ; we didn't know where is our happiness but the God know more.
