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.
