For example, you put yourself through university by studying hard and working full time. Then someone says, you should thank god for giving you the strength. Like wtf do you mean, I busted my ass day in and day out but I’m supposed to thank god for it?
Peace be upon you. 🌹 As one of those religious people, I can simply say: “No.” 😁
We deeply religious people (whether Muslim, Christian, Jewish, Hindu, or others) simply believe that everything happens through God’s will. However, this does not mean that free will doesn’t exist. You will be rewarded solely for your hard work, Inshallah, because that is your own merit.
You should just keep in mind that the phrase “you should thank God for giving you so much strength” is actually a compliment. It means “God loves you”
Of course, it also depends on how the person expresses this words 😅, but it is something beautiful.
Peace be upon you all🌹🌹🌹
I appreciate you but I have many reasons to believe god does not love me lol
