Preordainment

A man who had a mental disorder and an extreme anxiety problem sought advice from a Muslim doctor, who advised him, saying, "Know that no matter what the plans are that someone has for the future, there is no movement, not so much as a whisper, in this world but that it occurs by the permission of Allah."

The following is related in a hadith:

"Verily, Allah wrote the Maqaadeer (everything that will happen) of the creation fifty thousand years before He created them."

Al-Mutanabbi wrote:

"Small things are greatly magnified in the eyes of the small one, And great things are diminished in size in the eyes of the great one."
