Freedom to choose

If it had been the Lord's will, they would all have believed, all who are on earth! Wilt thou then compel mankind against their will, to believe! (10:99)




Allah has granted us all the ability to choose to believe or not believe. If Allah has not "forced" everyone to believe then its not our business to do so. We cannot "make" anyone believe, it is not our duty. Our duty is to share our knowledge and to present an upright example. There is no compulsion in our deen, we get to choose because Allah has willed it so. 

If you have made a choice to believe you are exercising your free will. Allah gave that to you. Noone can force you to believe anything nor can you force anyone else. Intentions are in the heart---because Allah has made it so.

Don't fret over what you cannot make others do. Realize that this is what Allah wants and do your part to educate and inspire.

May Allah make it easy for us. May Allah help us and guide us and keep us on the straight path. May He make appealing to us things that will keep us on siratual mustaqiim and make ugly to us things that will lead us astray.


With Love!

MaSalaam
