Faith is having trust and/or confidence in someone or something. It is also a strong belief in God based on spiritual apprehension rather than evidence. In the Christian religion, having faith would mean having trust and confidence in God and Jesus. Christians are to trust that God and Jesus are real, even if there is no physical proof that they are. Another belief they have is that prayers to God and Jesus are real, and the prayer is received. Having faith does NOT mean taking God and Jesus for granted or using them for clout.

Generally speaking, being a Muslim involves following the Five Pillars of Islam: the declaration of faith (shahada), prayer (salah), fasting (sawm), giving to charity (zakat), and pilgrimage (hajj). Muslims also follow the teachings of the Quran and the example of the prophet Muhammad, and many also follow the guidance of Islamic scholars and leaders.


For many Muslims, their faith is an important aspect of their daily lives and informs their actions and decisions. They also participate in religious practices such as prayer, fasting, and charity. They also attend mosque for congregational prayers, and celebrate Islamic holidays such as Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha.


However, it's important to note that being Muslim is not a monolithic experience and it can vary greatly depending on the individual's culture, personal beliefs, and geographic location. Some Muslims may be more observant than others, and their experiences may be different.


It is important to remember that people of all religions, cultures, and backgrounds have their own unique experiences and perspectives, and it is not appropriate to make generalizations about any group of people.

God's predestined plan is not an unchangeable fate that each and every person must accept without any choice or input from them. Instead, God's "prosthesis" refers to everyone who believes in Christ being saved. God won't let his people meet death and eternal destruction as their endgame.
He transforms fate into destiny for all who put their faith in Christ. So yes fate is changeable
