Three Tough Questions!

Assalaamulaikum,

I was browsing through the internet when i came across this article, though it may be funny, take a look at the 3 questions, it really makes one think if i was in the scholars shoes what would i say? how could deal with such questions? how could i defend Islam? SubhanAllah!!!

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.
After going to scholars of other faiths finally, his parents were able to find a Muslim scholar.
Below which follows is their conversation.....

Young man: Who are you? Can you answer my questions?
Scholar: I am one of Allah'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 the Almighty.

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 (feeling 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? Did you feel the pain?

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 was created from the fire, if Allah wants insha-Allah (God willing), the hell will become a very painful place and torment for the Shaitan

SubhanAllah look at the wisdom in Islam, and how common sense is easily the answer to many of our questions, we just have to think rationally and logically, though of course i am not recommending that you go around slapping everyone that askes you the same/similar questions.

WHAT HAPPENS AFTER DEATH....?.....?....

Topic: WHAT hAPPENS AFTER DEATH

Hadrat Bar'a bin Azib (Allah be pleased with him) reports:
"(One day) we accompanied the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) to a graveyard with the bier of an Ansari. When we reached the graveyard we found that the grave was not yet ready. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) therefore sat down and we also followed him and sat down in a manner as if birds were sitting on our heads." (That is to say, we sat so motionless as if we were lifeless because birds use to sit on a motionless object).

At the time the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) had a stick in his holy hand and he was scratching the earth with that (as a sad person does). In the meantime he raised his head and observed:
"Seek refuge from the torment of the grave." He repeated these words twice or thrice, and then added:
"Undoubtedly, when a Believer is to leave the world and move towards the Hereafter, angels come to him from the heaven whose faces look bright like the sun. They carry scented Heavenly shroud with them. These angels are in such a large number they look sitting as far as his sight could work.

Thereafter Hadrat Izra'il (the angel of death) arrives and sits down at the head of his bedstead and says: "O pure and virtuous soul! Move towards the forgiveness and favour of Almighty Allah. Thus his soul comes out of his body so easily and smoothly as drops of water come out flowing of the water container.
However, the angel of Death takes it (soul) in his hand and the sitting angels get up and all of them soar towards the heaven with the scented shroud. About this perfume, he (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) has remarked: "It is like the nicest musk perfume that could be found on this earth."

The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) further observed:
"When the angels start ascending the heaven, the groups of the angels falling in the way enquire about the virtuous soul and the angels carrying the soul reply in well-chosen nice words revealing he is the son of so and so.
Thus they reach the first layer of the heaven and ask for opening the door.
The door is opened and they go up with the soul and after crossing one layer of heaven after another reach the seventh one. At this point Almighty Allah commands that his name be written in the book of Virtuous Men and take him back to the earth because he has created man from the earth. I shall take him out from the same earth.
Thus his soul is returned to the body. Thereafter, two angels come to him, make him seated and ask him,

"who is your lord?"

He replies, my lord is Allah."

Then they ask him,

"which is your deen (religion)?"

He replies, "My deen is Islam."

Then they ask,

"who is this who was sent towards you?"

He replies, "This is the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)."
Thereafter they ask him,

"what is your deed?"

He replies, "I read the book of Allah, believed and affirmed that."

At this a proclaimer (of Allah) proclaimed from the heaven "My servant spoke the truth. Hence do spread the Heavenly bed for him, make him wear Heavenly garments and throw open the door towards Heaven for him." Thus the door towards Heaven is thrown open which brings fragrance of Heaven for him. And his grave is widened so much so that he could see as far as his sight could go."

Thereafter a man with handsome face, fine dress and nice fragrance turns up and tells him to have a good news that this is the day he had once been promised for. "Who are you?" He will ask adding that "your face is worthy of seeing and bringing good news." He will say, "I am your righteous deed."

After that he says out of utmost joy, "O Lord! Establish the day of resurrection so that I come in contact with my family and goods."

but this is the believer, what of the fate of the ignorant, the disbeliever?............

Women's Original Sin...

Topic: Women's Original Sin

What the Bible Says And Adam was not the one deceived; it was the woman who was deceived and became a sinner. (1 Timothy 2:14)
What the Qur'an Says And he (Satan) swore by Allah to them both (Adam and Eve) (saying): "Verily, I am one of the sincere well-wishers for you both." So he misled them with deception. (Qur'an, 7:21 -22)
Thus did Adam disobey his Lord, so he went astray. Then his Lord chose him, and turned to him with forgiveness, and gave him guidance. (Qur'an, 20:121,122)

Commentary According to the Qur'an both Adam and Eve were tempted by Satan. The Qur'an blames both of them for their sin. However, Adam and Eve prayed earnestly to Allah for forgiveness and He forgave them. According to the Bible, Eve was the sinner and because of her sin all humans are born in sin.

Yawmul-Qiyammah

The Day of Qiyamah...

the Day whose rank is equivalent to 50, 000 YEARS! SUBHANALLAH!

other names for day of Judgement:
Youmud-Deen: The Day of Recompense
Youmul-Hisab: The Day of Accounting
Youmul-Hasara: The Day of Regret!
Youmun-Dana: The Day of Remorse
Youmul-Qiyammah: The Day of Standing! (because mankindwill not be able to sit due to the FEAR they will have!)

Every single soul will have regret on that day, EVEN THE MUSLIMS!!!

from the Qur'an:

"He is the one who created the creation, who will create again"

"Did you presume, did you think that We created you for no reason, there was no purpose to your life, and that you will not return to Us, is this your presumption and thought?"

"Are We going to make the Muslims equivalent to the sinners, to the evil people, what is the matter with you, how do you judge? how do you think?"

if there is no day of judgement then where is Allah's infinate justice? THINK!

we fing the Muslim down hearted, humiliated maybe even his blood shed.
and we find the non-muslim many times above him, happier materially, socially, his wealth, his status, his fame, his money, his women, his wine, he is enjoying this Duniya and the Muslim in many times is not enjoying this Duniya the way the non-muslim is.

the Muslim is consoling his passion, his desires, worshipping Allah s.w.t, sacrificing the pleasures of this world for the pleasure of Allah.
where is Allah's justice if there is no judgement?
where will this Muslim be rewarded?
where will the sinner be punished?

Allah s.w.t reminds us that this life HAS a purpose to it, and that purpose will be manifested on THAT DAY!
if life had no purpose then there would be no day of judgement.
life has a pupose, the most grandest of all purposes; to worship Allah.
then furthermore there will be a day of judgement where His justice will be shown, where the sinner will be punished and the believer rewarded!

some believe in this day, but say "that day is very far away from now and in an unseen future, so theres no point in preparing for it now."
Allah addresses them in the Qur'an:

"Ever closer is the judgement for mankind drawing nearer and nearer, faster and faster.

And yet mankind at that very point in time is in obliviousness, heedlessness, he is not concerned about it, they have no idea of the impending day of judgement, how close it is"

[and]

"The matter of the day of judgement is like the twinkling of the eye or even faster than that".

Prophet Muhammad s.a.w said: "I and the day of judsgement have been sent like this" and he pointed his 2 fingers together showing there is a small amount of time between his coming and the day of judgement.

We are not the 1st of nations to walk on earth, this mankind is the last, our Prophet s.a.w wasn't the 1st but the last; the seal of Prophets, the trumpet will be blown on THIS Ummah, the Ummah of Islam, the Ummah of Prophet Muhammad s.a.w.

Prophet Muhammad s.a.w said: "How can i relax? how can i relax when i know the companion of the trumpet is Ra-feel; the one who abodes the day of judgement, when i know that the companion of the trumpet has raised the trumpet up, he has placed it to his lips and he is looking up at the throne of Allah, waiting for the commandment to come at any time, how can i relax?"

He s.aw also said in another Hadith that: "Ra-feel had not blinked his eye since he was created, out of fear that Allah's commandment may come at any time, so because of this his eyes have become like glazed pearls, like glass, how can i relax?"

more on the Day of Qiyammah soon Inshallah!

Fee Aman Nilallah brothers and sisters, make dua for our Ummah to suceed in this duniya and the Akirah!

As-salaam-ul laikum Wa rahmatullahi Wa barikatahu!
