I was on the way to office and by the time I turned to Sinar FM station, the DJ just picked up one caller. It was a female and she expressed her dissatisfaction to the previous caller. Ayatnya lebih kurang begini :
"I x puas hati ngan caller laki2 sblm nie. Ade ke patut x puas hati ngan Kak Engku semata2 pasal Kak Engku "emo" bila dengar pasal laki2 yg buat hal. Suma perempuan mcm tu, mana suka dgr laki cr lain ke, pasang dua tiga ke. Ni laki2 lagila, saya perasan skit2 suka menyalahkan takdir. Asal nak kahwin lagi.. cakap takdir. Macam artis laki tu, dah la kena tangkap basah, sendiri yang salah buat dosa, tp bila press tanya ckp ini dah takdir tuhan saya terima seadanya.. menyampah betul!!"
Ha mmg marah betul akak tue... But before we started to point who is right or wrong, it is better for us to understand what is fate/takdir first. As a muslim, it is stated in the Rukun Iman or "The Pillars Of Faith in Islam" that we have to beleive in Divine Preordainment/Qada' and Qadar.
Based on Wikepidia, Qadar is the Arabic word for Destiny and Qada' is the Arabic word for Decree. They may or may not be used interchangebly depending on the context. Essentially, Destiny is what Allah has decreed. Allah has knowledge of everything in his creation. Nothing occurs except by his will. Human beings are given free will, and it must be made clear that destiny does not have a cause-and-effect influence of the choices humans make. The choices that humans make are all within Allah's knowledge. Muslims believe that the divine destiny is when God wrote down in the Preserved Tablet ("Al-Lawhu Al-Mahfuud") all that has happened and will happen.
I know the definition is quite complicated and people likes to similarize a word destiny/Qadar and fate/takdir. I even didnt know how to explain the differences but I know both have its own concept. All I know that the reason why we have to accept our own destiny is to make us to keep moving and don't surrender. Ajal, maut, jodoh dan pertemuan are something that written in our fate and cant be changed. As long as we can accept it as a God's will, we can face all tests send by Allah without complaining, highly gratitude and "tawaduk" (humble).
However, dont get too straight forward by thinking that whatever happens to us are God's plan. Then we started to blame god when things happened are not as we desired. Allah is not cruel to let us to be poor forever, to become a drug addict or to have a killing diseases. Remember it's a choices we made that effected our destiny. Lets take for example, even if it's written that you will fail exam today, doesn't mean that if you keep trying and always pray to Allah for your success, He will neglect you. Allah knows what is the best for us but He also let us free in making our own judgement.

Back to above issue, I think that men used to manipulate the word takdir or "fate" to cover up their guilty and fault (mentang2 jodoh, ajal, maut suma di tangan tuhan...) but is that mean to hurt other's feeling in case of cheating or betraying their partner is also a god's will? Sendiri mau ingatla... (Ops am I started to become feminist.. no..no don't get me wrong, I just want to be honest with my opinions that's all). For me it is unwise to give Qada' n Qadar as an excuse for something happen to cover our own fault, just be a gentleman and admit our weakness as a human. Kalau diri dah gatal nak kahwin lain just admit it, if urself too lazy to study and then failed just admit it, no need to say " nak wat cammana dah nasib".....
Remember, Sesungguhnya yang baik itu datang daripada Allah, manakala yg buruk itu datang dari diri kita sendiri.
