====The Blessed and the Damned==== It is made easy for everyone for what they were created for. Blessed are whose who are saved by God's judgment (''qaḍāʾ Allāh''), condemned are those who are condemned by the judgment of God.<ref name="ReferenceA">aṭ-Ṭaḥāwī: ''al-ʿAqīda''. 1995, S. 16. – Engl. Übers. Watt 51.</ref> God created paradise and hell above all else; then he created the people who are worthy of them. He has designated some out of generosity (''faḍlan'') for paradise, the others out of justice (''ʿadlan'') for hell.<ref>aṭ-Ṭaḥāwī: ''al-ʿAqīda''. 1995, p. 26. – Engl. Übers. Watt 54.</ref> God has always known the number of those who go to paradise and the number of those who go to hell. This number is neither increased nor decreased.<ref name="ReferenceA"/> When God creates the body of the embryo, he sends an angel to him who writes down his livelihood (''rizq''), the hour he dies, his deeds and whether he is a damned (''šaqī'') or a blessed (''saʿīd'').<ref>Ibn Taimīya: ''al-ʿAqīda al-Wāsiṭīya''. 1999, S. 106. – Dt. Übers. Wein S. 91.</ref> The Sunni does not doubt his belief.<ref>Ibn Abī Yaʿlā: ''Ṭabaqāt al-Ḥanābila''. 1952. Bd. I, S. 329.</ref> Humans neither know how they are registered by God (whether as believers or unbelievers), nor how it ends with them.<ref name="IbnGauzi281200">Ibn al-Ǧauzī: ''Al-Muntaẓam fī sulūk al-mulūk wa-l-umam''. 1992, Bd. XV, S. 281. – Dt. Übers. Mez 200.</ref> God is also the converter of hearts (''muqallib al-qulūb'').<ref>al-Ašʿarī: ''Kitāb Maqālāt al-islāmīyīn''. p. 293. – Dt. Übersetzung 1931, S. 58.</ref> Therefore, it is recommended to say the ''[[Inshallah|Istit̲h̲nā]]'':<ref>Madelung, Wilferd (1970). "Early Sunni Doctrine concerning Faith as Reflected in the "Kitab al-Iman" of Abu 'Ubayd al-Qasim b. Sallam (d. 224/839)". Studia Islamica (32): 233–254</ref> "A believer, if God is willing" or "I hope that I am a Believer". Such a way of expression does not make people into doubters, because by that, they only mean that their otherworldly fate and their end are hidden from them.<ref name="IbnGauzi281200"/> Sunnis do make claims about anyone's destiny in either paradise or hell, who prays to the direction of the Kaaba,<ref>aṭ-Ṭaḥāwī: ''al-ʿAqīda''. 1995, S. 23. – Engl. Übers. Watt 53.</ref> no matter of their good deed or sins they committed.<ref>Ibn Abī Yaʿlā: ''Ṭabaqāt al-Ḥanābila''. 1952. Bd. I, S. 294.</ref>
