*Three Questions
*
There was a young man who went overseas to study for
quite a long time. When
he returned, he asked his parents to find him a
religious scholar or any
expert who could answer his 3 Questions.
Finally, his parents were able to find a Muslim
scholar.
*
YOung man: *
Who are you? Can you answer my questions?
*
SchoLar:*
I am one of Allah (SubHana Wa Ta`ala)'s slaves and
Insha-Allah (God
willing), I will be able to answer your questions.
*
YOung man:*
Are you sure? A lot of Professors and experts were not
able to answer my
questions.
*
SchoLar:*
I will try my best, with the help of Allah (SubHana Wa
Ta`ala).
*
YOung Man:*
I have 3 questions:
1. Does God exist? If so, show me His shape.
2. What is thaqdir (fate)?
3. If shaitan (Devil) was created from the fire, why
at the end he will
be thrown to hell that is also created from fire. It
certainly will not
hurt him at all, since Shaitan (Devil) and the hell
were created from
fire.
Did God not think of it this far?
Suddenly, *the SchoLar* slapped the young man's face
very hard. Young Man
(felt pain): Why do you get angry at me?
*SchoLar:*
I am not angry. The slap is my answer to your three
questions.
*
YOung Man:*
I really don't understand.
*
SchoLar: *
How do you feel after I slapped you?
*
YOung Man:*
Of course, I felt the pain.
*
SchOlar: *
So do you believe that pain exists?
*
YOung Man:*
Yes.
* *
*SchoLar:*
Show me the shape of the pain!
*
YOung Man:*
I cannot.
*SchoLar:*
That is my first answer. All of us feel God's
existence without being able
to see His shape... Last night, did you dream that you
will be slapped by
me?
*
YOung Man:*
No.
*
SchoLar:*
Did you ever think that you will get a slap from me,
today?
*
YOung Man:*
No.
*
SchoLar:*
That is takdir (fate) my second answer...... .. My
hand that I
used to slap you, what is it created from?
*
YOung Man:*
It is created from flesh.
*
SchoLar:*
How about your face, what is it created from?
*
YOung Man:*
Flesh.
*
SchoLar:*
How do you feel after I slapped you?
*
YOung Man:*
In pain.
*
SchoLar:*
That's it. This is my third answer, Even though
Shaitan (Devil)
and also the hell were created from the fire, if Allah
wants, insha-Allah
(God willing), the hell will become a very painful
place for Shaitan.
*
Allah said:*
"If you are ashamed of me, I will be ashamed of you."
If you are not
ashamed, pass this message on... only if you believe.
Yes, I love Allah. Allah is my fountain of Life and My
Savior.
Allah keeps me going day & night. Without Allah, I am
no one. But with
Allah, I can do everything. Allah is my strength.
May HE help u to succeed... [Ameen]
*. ALLAH DOES EXIST .*
THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST EXPLANATIONS OF WHY ALLAH
ALLOWS PAIN AND SUFFERING
THAT I HAVE SEEN:
A MAN WENT TO A BARBERSHOP TO HAVE HIS HAIR CUT AND
HIS BEARD TRIMMED.
AS THE BARBER BEGAN TO WORK, THEY BEGAN TO HAVE A GOOD
CONVERSATION. THEYTALKED ABOUT SO MANY
THINGS AND VARIOUS SUBJECTS WHEN THEY EVENTUALLY
TOUCHED ON THE SUBJECT OF
ALLAH,
THE BARBER SAID: "I DON'T BELIEVE THAT ALLAH EXISTS."
"WHY DO YOU SAY THAT?"ASKED THE CUSTOMER.WELL, YOU
JUST HAVE TO GO OUT IN
THE STREET REALIZE THAT
ALLAH DOESN'T EXIST. TELL ME, IF ALLAH EXISTS, WOULD
THERE BE SO MANY SICK
PEOPLE? WOULD THERE BE
ABANDONED CHILDREN? IF ALLAH EXISTED, THERE WOULD BE
NEITHER SUFFERING NOR
PAIN. I CAN'T IMAGINE A
LOVING ALLAH WHO WOULD ALLOW ALL OF THESE THINGS" THE
CUSTOMER THOUGHT FOR A
MOMENT, BUT DIDN'T
RESPOND BECAUSE HE DIDN'T WANT TO START AN ARGUMENT.
THE BARBER FINISHED HIS JOB AND THE CUSTOMER LEFT THE
SHOP. JUST AFTER HE
LEFT THE BARBERSHOP, HE SAW
A MAN IN THE STREET WITH LONG, STRINGY, DIRTY HAIR AND
AN UNTRIMMED BEARD
HE LOOKED DIRTY AND
UNKEMPT. THE CUSTOMER TURNED BACK AND ENTERED THE
BARBER SHOP AGAIN AND HE
SAID TO THE BARBER: "YOU KNOW WHAT? BARBERS DO NOT
EXIST."
"HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT?"ASKED THE SURPRISED BARBER.
"I AM HERE, AND I AM A BARBER. AND I JUST WORKED ON
YOU!"
"NO!" THE CUSTOMER EXCLAIMED. "BARBERS DON'T EXIST
BECAUSE IF THEY DID,
THERE WOULD BE NO PEOPLE WITH
DIRTY LONG HAIR AND UNTRIMMED BEARDS, LIKE THAT MAN
OUTSIDE."
"AH, BUT BARBERS DO EXIST! THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS WHEN
PEOPLE DO NOT COME TO
ME."
"EXACTLY" AFFIRMED THE CUSTOMER. "THAT'S THE POINT!
ALLAH, TOO, DOES EXIST! THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS WHEN
PEOPLE DO NOT GO TO HIM AND
DON'T LOOK TO HIM FOR
