Belief in destiny and fate is one of the basic beliefs of Islam. It means that Allaah is the Knower of all things and the Creator of all things; nothing exists outside of His will and decree. He wrote down all things with Him in al-Lawh al-Mahfooz (the Preserved Tablet), and this was fifty thousand years before He created the universe. Everything in the universe, every creature and the things it does, is the creation of Allaah. Whatever He wills happens, and whatever He does not will does not happen. If something happens to a person, it could not have missed him, and if something does not happen to him, it could not have happened to him. A person is not forced to obey or disobey Allaah – he has free will as befits his state, but it is subject to the will of the Creator. And Allaah knows best

In arabic we have the words Qadha'a and Qadar
Before any thing happen in the whole univers (by Allah will) Allah knows about it (in general and in detail, from eternity to eternity) and this is called Qadar and after it happen it is called Qadha'a.
Some scholars do not diffrentiate between them.

Semantics mostly.

But I think fate is more something you have no control over. its sealed in stone. Destiny is more something we have control over and aspire to.

The intonation of fate seems more forced than destiny which is embraced.
