Taqdir

Qadar (Arabic: قدر, transliterated qadar, meaning literally "power", but translated variously as: "Fate", "Divine Fore-ordainment", "Predestination," "Divine Decree", "Decree" of Allah", "Preordainment") is the concept of Divine Destiny in Islam. As God is all-knowing and all-powerful, everything that has happened and will happen in the universe—including sinful human behavior. At the same time, human beings are responsible for their actions, and will be rewarded or punished accordingly on Judgement Day.Predestination/Divine Destiny is one of Sunni Islam's six articles of faith, (along with belief in the Oneness of Allah, the Revealed Books, the Prophets of Islam, the Day of Resurrection and Angels).

Sustenance can change due certain deeds. It can be increased for those who do good deeds like well treating the parents and the relatives as we have authentic Hadeeths that the sustenance of such person is increased. On the contrary I'll treating or ignoring or boycotting the parents and relatives decrease the sustenance.

Hadeeths mentioned many good acts which cause increasing the sustenance like Sadaqa, Night Prayer ( Salatul Layl), Reciting Ta'qeebat after morning prayers till sunrise, performing Hajj, Umra and Ziyarat, praying for the believers in their absence, etc.

Wassalam.

Yes, of course.

It is narrated that the Prophet (S) said, "Nothing wards off fate except supplication."

It is narrated that Imam al-Kazim (A) said, "I urge you to supplicate, for verily supplication to Allah and seeking from Allah repels calamity which may have been destined and decreed with just the execution remaining, so if Allah is supplicated and is asked to avert a calamity, it is averted."

The Qur'an also strongly encourages us to call to God and seek what we want or need from Him.

Also, certain acts, such as giving charity, can change aspects of our fate that have been decreed.

Of course, sometimes Allah does not grant our requests, out of His wisdom or as part of a greater plan.

There are some things in our fate that are fixed and unchangeable, and some things that are changeable; we don't know which are which, so we can do du'a regarding all of them, and leave the response to Allah.
