It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both) that he said: "O Messenger of Allah! Are we acting according to that which has already been decided, or according to that which we are doing anew?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "According to that which has already been decided." Sayyiduna Suraqah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Then what is the reality of action?" The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "For every doer, his action has been made easy."
