everything that is happening in the world and universe and around you because of Allah's permission/leave.

How about small luck? For example, if you are playing football and you shoot and it hits the post? would it be shirk if i said to that player you were unlucky?

And how about coincedences?

just get out of the habit of saying it bro because its falsehood and its what a kaafir would say, say fortunate or blessed.

again akhi, everything is only from Allah SWT.

By accepting Islam, we accept one God (Allah) all of the previous prophets. The previous revelations, The Angels, Taqdeer (Fate). And the day of resurrection.

Evrything that happens in our life is a test (fate). for example Allah may bless a person in this world with loads of Wealth to see how they will use it. Some may consider that person "lucky" but it is not luck as Allah has chosen it for him. Another person may be poor with many problems in his/her life. This may be classed as Unlucky. However it is not luck.

It is a test from Allah individually to see hoow they will react - some rich people may be greedy and not share with the poor and some rich people will give all of their wealth to the poor for the pleasure of Allah.

A person who is poor may still worship allah and still be greatful for the things he has been blessed with (however little it may be) these people are the most loved by Allah s.w.t, wheras another person maybe ignorant and ungrateful for the wealth he currently has

Things may appear to us as Coincidences, however everything is in our fate. A person may die in a car accident and we might say it was unlucky, however it has been written in their fate that that person will die - luck has nothing to do with it.

Luck is something people say as an alternative to thanking Allah. When we are blessed with wealth and health and know that it is Allah who is doing it for us, we are further greatful to Allah. But if we just think of it as luck then we do not associate the blessings with Allah and we just consider it as Chance.

It is everyones destiny that they will one day die, Only Allah knows what will happen in our lives however small they may be.

i was answering your first question - and i do think if you understand the answer to your first question you will realise the answer to the second.

If EVERYTHING that happens in our lives is FATE. The EVERYTHING will include something as insignificant as football.

Saying it is a co-incidence is not shirk as it just may seem to us that way if we have limited knowledge of fate.

Shirk is something that associates partners to Allah. calling this a co-incidence isnt shirk. But try to associate things like these with Allah only like saying you are fortunate or blessed like the brother said.
