Fate means "measure". When we say "quantity, amount, how much” we actually use the word "fate” in Turkish. In Qur'an, measure means; code, algorithm, divine knowledge, divine law, divine program and rule. Indeed, all things We created with predestination is verse of Surah al-Qamar 54/49 which means that we did not create anything randomly. This is the verse that fate is most clearly involved in Qur'an, and it means that we have created everything by measure, based on a rule, on the basis of a law, not randomly.
The Qur'an rejects fatalism. The Qur'an expresses fate, but rejects fatalism. Fatalism is to deny and reject the responsibility of the person involved in the events. Fatalism is the religion of Satan according to the Qur'an. Because in the Qur'an the devil accuses God, and blames Him saying you deflected me. In verse of Surah Al A'raf 7/19, in verse of Surah al-Hijr 15/39 he blames with the accusation you deflected me, actually if God deflected the devil, then He should not called devil to account for. If He calls him to account for, then God did not deflect him, he himself did. As a matter of fact, Adam also sinned, and the devil. Adam also rioted and the devil too. But Adam confessed his sin, he repented, he became a man. Satan insisted on his sin, he said you deflected me He blamed God, became Satan, and became a devil.
The polytheists were fatalist, we learn this from Surah Al-An'am 6/148 if God willed we would not commit shirk. Yazid thought exactly like the idolaters, even though he was Muslim seemingly, when he murdered Hussein, he said God killed him. That is precisely the idolaters' belief in destiny. In 1991, the tunnel entrances were being blocked for a Saudi prince to pass in Mecca during pilgrimage time, and six thousand pilgrims were crushing each other. We know it very well, we remember those days very well. The official explanation of the Saudis is: volition of God.. That is to commit the murder and to bill all responsibility for God. Therefore, this is not faith in destiny, but in fact to deny the measure. God puts a measure and three or four million pilgrims according to that measure are crushed if you stop the uninhibited pilgrimage coming from behind. That was fate. That was the measure. They did not obey the measure of God, and even the fly was forbidden to kill where six thousand pilgrims died and they called it volition of God. No one took the responsibility. Again in 1999 there was an earthquake in Turkey, Yalova / Adapazarı earthquake and thirty thousand people died. However, another earthquake took place in Kobe-Japan with a higher magnitude of 7,6. Six people died in Kobe, thirty thousand people in Yalova. Five days after, the prime minister of the time, made a declaration to the media: volition of God... This was slandering to God. This is not faith in fate, this is denial of fate. It is denying of God's measure. God has put a measure in making houses, if you build houses on the fault lines where construction permit was not given, build structures with missing materials, you make it grave for those who live in those buildings. That is actually to go against fate. It is not faith in fate. Also, traditionalist Muslims added the fatality of the demons and idolaters to the condition of their faith.
Let me summarize the question that way, in the Qur'an, there is fate. Fate is God's creation of all things according to a measure, establishing a measure for all things. So it is Sunnah / tradition of God. It is the canonical creation of God. Fatalism also does not exist in the Qur'an, neither in Islam nor in religion. Fatalism is the religion of demons, idolaters.
