Q:
1. What is the concept of taqdeer and Allah knowing and deciding our taqdeer?
If dua can change taqdeer, then does Allah not know of the dua or is dua bad? But we are supposed to ask in dua.

2. What is life's focus supposed to be and why should we do it? What is my personality supposed to be like as a Muslim?
