Muslim Believers Are The Most Self Sufficient People In The World VIII

17:20 Sahih International: We bestow on every one - to these and to those - from the gift of your Lord. And never are the gifts of your Lord restricted.

17:21 Sahih International: Look how We have favored [in provision] some of them over others. But the Hereafter is greater in degrees [of difference] and greater in distinction. 

Abdullah Ibn Mas’ud (ra) said,
“I have heard Allah's Messenger (?) as saying: When forty-two nights pass after the semen gets into the womb, Allah sends the angel and gives him shape. Then he creates his sense of hearing, sense of sight, his skin, his flesh, his bones, and then says: My Lord, would he be male or female? And your Lord decides as He desires and the angel then puts down that also and then says: My Lord, what about his age? And your Lord decides as He likes it and the angel puts it down. Then he says: My Lord, what about his livelihood? And then the Lord decides as He likes and the angel writes it down, and then the angel gets out with his scroll of destiny in his hand and nothing is added to it and nothing is subtracted from it.”
