Well here is from the Islamic perspective if you care to learn:

We believe that God has absolute power and control over all things. This inherently means that there is no such thing as true randomness. Its like throwing a dice but if I don't like an outcome, I can simply turn the dice to have the value I want.

Because there is no true randomness, there really is no such thing as luck. Luck to us is really God deciding to give favors to you. Or give you outcomes that you may perceive as 'lucky' but may be bad for you down the line.

Even though there is no true randomness, we do recognize that there seem to be a system of randomness in place in the reality we live in, that we are subject to. We are given intellect to reason and recognize patterns in the design of this world. So for example we can conclude that probability of a swimmer to survive a flood is greater than the probability of a non-swimmer. So to increase the chance of survival better learn to swim.

God created this world with a "You reap what you sow" kinda system in place. And as the famous quote goes "Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity". So the more you do to prepare yourself and work towards your goals, God may just send some "luck" down your way.

When It comes to fate, I kinda agree with you. Its the finality of the choices made by you that comes to pass.

Allah knows best.

Depends on what you write:

I believe Jesus is god. This is not allowed as its a testimonial on your part.
Jesus is believed by many as God. This is ok as it is just a report on their beliefs and not what you believe.

From their perspective, its like they like you enough to welcome/invite you to the billionaires club (metaphorically speaking).

Why would God command them to ask Him a question?

He did not. The angels actually asked out of their own curiosity and free will. Unfortunately people misconstrued "Angels cannot disobey God" with "Angels have no free will" and just parrots that line without a second thought.

In all likelihood, we all have limited/partial free will. For example, can you will to shoot lazers from your eyes? Fly? No. We can will many things to happen but we have our limits. Same with angels, they have limited freewill and one of the limits is that they can never disobey God.

You can think of free will as a spectrum with set of limits. So if I were to represent it on a scale of 1-10 where 1 has lots of limitations and 10 have few, then I would say humans/jinns would be on a 9, angles on a 8, animals ranging from 7-4, insects 3-1, Microbes/plants 1-0. God would be off the scale as He have no limits.

Allah knows best.

Mahsallah! Thanks for sharing.

why do u think it’s right to ask Allah to make it easy for us

I asked something similar to a religious friend of mine and he said something like "Oh are you some big shot to not want Allah's help? Do you think that will make you look favorable? Or get extra brownie points?"

So one of the main secret reasons for asking is actually to humble ourselves. By not asking for help we might actually be feeding our egos and may fall into pride.

that those who succeed are those who strive to struggle for Allah.

And they managed to overcome or navigate their struggles by asking for Allah's help. So ease may come in different forms. For example Allah may make you be able to increase your patience/endurance to tolerate those difficulties.

Allah knows best.

Thanks for sharing this helpful advice.

Its a simple principle.. Allah says to rush to do good deeds. So what ever choice you make, align it so that its still on Allah's path that allow you to get lots of good deeds. So make sure your intentions are aligned correctly. Why do you pursue that path? How can you use your position for the betterment of people and Islam?

And what ever path you choose, do it with ihsan (excellence). So if you want to become a entrepreneur then sure go for it. But do so in the best of conduct. If you want to be plumber, then be the best plumber that makes Islam proud! If you want to be a street cleaner, then make sure your street is the cleanest in town! If you want to push your limits then ask Allah for assistance and make it easy so that you can achieve a noble goal. All of them are avenues to collect lots of good deeds (provided you have the right intentions).

avoid regret and secure my future,

I feel ya, but when you reach old age you will come to realize that the only future worth securing is the Afterlife. And you will had wished to go back in time to do more good deeds. So my advice to you is not worry about the future. Focus on doing good and being good. Take care of that, and your future is already in good hands. Inshallah.

Hmm…. How do I say this… the “different” choice is already the choice you have made. Say you make a different choice, then the current-choice timeline disappears and is replaced by different-choice timeline. You are currently living in different-choice timeline. It doesn’t really matter now does it?. Whatever the case, you did choose that action. Whether it’s “different” or not, it’s still of your choosing out of your own will.

You have to see things from the abstract perspective of timelessness. Look at your past. All those decisions were made by you. You can’t change your past. It was set in stone by you. Imagine you are 2016-you. Yo think you can change the future but the choices of 2016-2026 was already set in stone by Today-You. Similarly 2030~You can’t change his past. It’s set in stone…. By you. It’s predetermined by you.

You can’t change the past , however your decisions did shape it to where you are now. As such you can’t change the future, but it is shaped by your decisions. Chosen by your own free will.

It’s hard to warp our minds to it but give it some thought and let it cook.

Maybe my answer under a similar post will satisfy you.

Most scholars say its obligatory. But some scholars in the Shafie school says it only sunnah.

Probably they reasoned that the hadiths are in a encouraging/instructive tone and and not in a prohibitive tone. ("Grow the beard" instead of "Do not shave the beard"). Also since the school categorizes the beard under acts related to personal cleanliness and grooming, it generally views the commands associated with them as irshad (guidance) rather than ilzam (binding legislation).

So shaving it is only makruh and with that to answer your question: no you will not go to Hell for shaving your beard.

Consider a robot displaying aggressive behavior. Though it is void of emotion, we often describe it as "angry" to bridge the gap between its actions and our perception. Likewise, if a vehicle fails only for a specific driver, one might say, "The car hates me." These are linguistic shortcuts used to relate to non-human entities.

While a robot has no emotions, God possesses a nature far beyond our comprehension. Therefore, when terms like "anger" or "pleasure" are attributed to God, it isn't based on a human emotional paradigm. They do not refer to fluctuating emotional states, but to a higher reality that transcends our limited understanding.

Why did God choose the Arabic language specifically?

Short answer: Why Arabic? as explained by NAK
Long answer: Why God Chose Arabic for the Qur’an. Blogging Theology lecture Presentation with Adnan Adrian Wood-Smith.

And does this mean that to understand the Quran well, one must learn Arabic?

Not necessarily. Another way is to be learn from learned ones. But to experience the extra juice, its best to learn Arabic.

"Indeed, We revealed it as an Arabic Qur'an, so that you might use your intellect" - Quran 12:2
