WAEC Islamic Religious Studies (IRS) 2022 Theory — Question 4

Model answer

Destiny is a matter of faith in everything the Prophet taught us. Destiny can sometimes replace a worse misfortune. Destiny is ascribed to the spiritual accomplishments Allah grants. Destiny alerts one to whatever may divert them from Allah. Destiny is a way out of problems and difficulties, and a means to distinguish truth from falsehood. Destiny encourages the worship of Allah and is one of the basic beliefs of Islam. It reflects satisfaction in all affairs and Allah's role as the most impartial judge. Destiny tests believers, sometimes with emotional distress or poverty, while Allah remains a protecting friend and supporter who gives many chances. Ultimately, Allah tests us to purify us and wash away our sins, and He knows the past, the future, the present, and even the little things that do not matter to us.
