IT'S GOD'S WILL THAT WE ARE HERE

God created you out of dust, which he formed into a tiny seed. He divided you into two sexes. No woman conceives or gives birth without his knowledge. No one grows old, or dies young, except in accordance with his decree. Every action is easy for God.

-Qur'an, Fatir, 35:11
