Providence
God’s personal, purposive care for his people, especially Romans 8:28. Kader and alın yazısı both carry strong Islamic/folk fatalism connotations (an impersonal decree one cannot know or influence); providence in Romans is the personal governance of a Father who works all things for the good of those who love him.
