Fixed Time Of Death
I have gone through almost all the content related to this topic both from this forum and all other Ghamidi Sb’s videos and am familiar with his explanation for years, but just want to clear out a few confusions that I’ve never been able to resolve.
1) Firstly, when he says that the ajal (fixed term) is not in terms of a specific date/day but events or sequence of events, but since Allah’s knowledge includes everything and he also knows the specific date/day you’re gonna die as well, then the day/date/time/method of your death would be fixed no? Regardless of whether its related to your decisions or acts or choices but it’s still fixed at God’s end right even if I’m under no compulsion? So this seems sort of like a paradox to me when Quran’s verses are plain related to this and give the understanding that you’re gonna go at your appointed time so don’t worry about it. Ghamidi Sahab’s explanations sort of complicate the whole concept in my head, which I will explain more.
2) For the example that Ghamidi Sb gives to explain this whole concept, the rizq one where your rizq is appointed according to your actions and choices, how much is your time of death analogical to that exactly? Is it completely dependent on my actions? Because if it was, where does the fixed term come in? Doesn’t Allah decide whether I’m gonna take someone suddenly, or in childhood, or in youth, old age etc. and hence why we have a fixed/appointed/limited term? Then how much can I change my time of death based on how good I take care of my health etc.? Seemingly healthy/fit people go suddenly in youth, children pass away, doctors gave up on Stephen Hawking for example but he lived till old age. If its based on my choices, then the appointed term keeps changing? For example, in a certain scenario (a disease for example), if I choose choice A as remedy then I would live for X and if I choose choice B I would live for Y years?
So what I mean to say is, the simple Quranic explanation taken at its outward meaning makes much more sense to me, that you have a fixed term and when its over you’re gonna die, and these explanations just complicate it so much in my head.
I know my question is all over the place, and apologies if this violates guidelines but I didn’t know how else to get it all out in words. If someone can help me make sense of things or better my understanding, would be much appreciated. Thanks!
