Hi friend,
first of all you should know the difference between both of them.........and then only you able to find the answer atlast...
faith:
Faith is a belief, trust, or confidence, not necessarily based on logic, facts, reason, or empirical data, but based fundamentally on volition often associated with a transpersonal relationship with God, a higher power, a person, elements of nature, and/or a perception of the human race as a whole.
Faith can be placed in a person, inanimate object, state of affairs, proposition or body of propositions such as a religious creed.
destiny:
Destiny refers to a predetermined course of events. It may be conceived as a predetermined future, whether in general or of an individual.
It is a concept based on the belief that there is a fixed natural order to the universe.
Strictly speaking " neither faith nor destiny rules our lives. It is our ignorance that rules our lives.........."

The question is wrong.
The idea of DESTINY presupposes that there is some exterior force(s) that has already decided where your life is headed without regard of your personal plan or desired direction. A mathematician might define it as "cause and effect," meaning that you and your life are subject to your biology (something you do not control), your environment (something you did not create), and your upbringing (something you did not orchestrate). Destiny is not something we could attribute to God, as God by definition would not create robots to serve Him, otherwise He would not be God.
Faith is the belief - transcending mathematics, science, reason, evidence, biology, environment, upbringing and all other possible exterior forces - that God exists and has a plan for you. Knowing God's plan for you is difficult, and following it of your own free will is most difficult. But with a persistent, unselfish desire to know God's will, accompanied by earnest prayer to follow God's will, a faithful person will be successful.
So ultimately, without excersizing FREE WILL based on faith in God, your life is doomed to be the result of the natural order of cause and effect, or destiny.

Faith coupled with destiny rules in our lives. Both are interdependent. One without the other cannot exist. Without faith, destiny is meaningless.

As per English Dictionary Fate means........An event (or a course of events) that will inevitably happen in the future. Destiny means...An event (or a course of events) that will inevitably happen in the future. So these are two different words having same meanings. So far as the concept of fate or destiny is concerned it is illogical and thus wrong. How can we be punished here or in the life hereafter for any of our wrong doings if it has already been decided by God how the events will happen? Why should I be hanged for the murder of a human when it is already decided that I will murder him and I can't change God's will. Why should I exert if it has been decided that I shall get this and shall not get that? In fact we are sent here with the capabilities and freedom of choice to do good as well as bad. We are told what is right and wrong. We are also told what God wants from us. Thus it a test we are sent here to take. The test is whether we use our capabilities according to or against the will of God. As every test is followed by a result so we shall be rewarded for our doings. This is what we are created for.

Neither. It is the choices we make and our ability to change that choice when it no longer suits us. It is whether we choose love or hate, compassion or apathy, or the nice red tie over the yellow Snoopy one. Faith is good to have to have in oneself and in humanity. Faith is not defined by religion. Destiny is a man-made belief. While faith may help us on our journey it does not dictate our lives. Unfortunately, too many people let themselves be defined by what their parents and peers think. This will shape them as well, and too often not in a way that will benefit humanity.

Well,it totally depends on you whether you think that it's faith or destiny that rules our lives.It's one's own angle of looking at life.When we are happy and optimistic we feel that it is only our faith that will carry us through all our griefs and troubles while when we fail to do something for which we had given all our time and wished with all intensity for it to happen,we blame it on destiny instead of looking at our faults.My sole advice and opinion in this matter would be that always have faith in yourself for it is your faith,your mental toughness,your hard work and your courage and the will to face life that will get you through all troubles in life.

Cause and effect.
Faith and destiny are human inventions. Nature and reality have been at work far longer than the human race, and everything is basically cause and effect and mathematics.
Stay away from the church people, and learn how to live a good life.
