Is there anything in Islam, the concept of "luck"?
In Islam, all the good and bad, to which we may come across in life, is part of our test in this World. Allah wa ta'ala Subhannallahu:
[He] who created death and life to test you [as to] which of you is best in deed - and He is the Exalted in Might, the Forgiving (67: 2)
The Almighty said:
Indeed, We have made that which is on the earth adornment for it that We may test them [as to] which of them is best in deed. (18: 7).
Why is it important to recognize the significance of this moment? So, what we perceive or refer to as "luck" or "bad luck", it is a test from Allah, and it is very important to understand, as a believer.
Allah tells us: "And as for man, when his Lord tries him and [thus] is generous to him and favors him, he says, "My Lord has honored me." But when He tries him and restricts his provision, he says, "My Lord has humiliated me." (89: 15-16).
It follows that, as good and bad is a test for the believer. Both states are the means through which Allah is testing their creations. It follows from this that we live in this world to God "taught" us. In the Qur'an, Allah reminds us that He is all-knowing only possess infinite wisdom, which teaches man that which he knew not.
At the very beginning of the Qur'an presents the history of the first man, whom Allah has taught all over: "And He taught Adam the names - all of them. Then He showed them to the angels and said, "Inform Me of the names of these, if you are truthful." (2:31).
The honor of being taught by Allah is not limited to the first person. Each of us is given the chance - to learn from Allah.
The first sura sent down says: "Recite in the name of your Lord, Who created all things, created man from a clot of blood. Read, for your Lord - the most generous.He taught by written cane - Taught man that which he knew not."(96: 5).
Thus, we are in this world to learn, and to this end, as well as good and bad, in other words, "good luck" and "failure" are an essential part of this mission, which is carried by each person.
On the other hand, the fact that a person perceives as bad, fail, may actually be good for him, sent down by Allah, and vice versa.
"Fighting has been enjoined upon you while it is hateful to you. But perhaps you hate a thing and it is good for you; and perhaps you love a thing and it is bad for you. And Allah Knows, while you know not."(2: 216).
Man can not know all his knowledge is very limited, in contrast to the comprehensive wisdom of Allah. I myself have repeatedly watched a "failure" became such a boon for man, and led him to what he could not dream of. And if it had not happened this trouble, people would never have found what is today. By the grace of Allah, the failure can turn the best of luck.
Thus, all the good and all the bad things thatsuccesses and failures - from Allah. God teaches us to look more deeply and try to take a blessing and a special message from any situation. A man never knows what will turn this or that event for him, and good and evil - is only a test, in both, he can only rely on Allah and ask for his help. And if everything is from Allah, then it turns out that for all the good Muslim, because in each it has a right to the acquisition of the pleasure of the Almighty. After all, if something pleases believer, he thanks Allah, and it becomes good for him, if he understands the mountain, he is patient, and it also becomes a boon for him.
