2136. 'Ali narrated: "We were with the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ and he was scraping the ground, when he raised his head to the heavens, then said: 'There is not one of you but (his place) is known' - Waki' said: 'His place has been decreed (be it) in the Fire, and (or) his place in Paradise.' They said: 'Shall we not rely upon this O Messenger of Allāh?' He said: 'No. Work, for everyone is facilitated for what he was created.'" (Ṣaḥīh)

Commentary
Every one of us is being enabled to do what is written for him. There is no getting away from those deeds. But since no one knows what is allotted for him, or whether he is destined to do acts of blessedness or of wretchedness, each one of us is obligated to abide by the dictates of the Shari'ah and do virtuous deeds, as exhorted to by the Prophets and written in the Holy Books.
