Divine pre-ordainment

In Al-Qaseem, a newspaper printed in Syria, an article was written about a young man who booked a flight to travel abroad. He informed his mother of the flight time and asked her to wake him up a short time before departure. After he fell asleep, his mother heard on the radio that the weather conditions were awful and that the wind was blowing violently. The compassion that she felt for her only child caused her to not wake him up in the hope that he would miss the flight. When she was sure that the flight had taken off] she went to wake up her son. Upon entering his room, she found that he was lying dead on his bed.

(Say [to them]: ‘Verily, the death from which you flee will surely meet you, then you will be sent back to [Allah], the All-Knower of the unseen and the seen, anal He will tell you what you used to do.)                  (Qur’an 62: 8)
