On a related point, my Turkish Muslim friends won't buy insurance because it is based on a denial that everything happens for a reason. (What they say is that insurance assumes that things happen by chance as opposed to happening because Allah wills it).
Are they right? Does buying insurance imply denying that things happen for a reason?
