Asalaam alaikum, 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 takdir (fate)?
3. If shaitan (Devil) was created
from the fire, why at the end he will be thrown to hell that 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?
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.
Scholar: 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).
Scholar: My hand that I used to slap you, what is it created
from?
Young Man: It is created from skin.
Scholar: How about your face, what is it created from?
Young Man: Skin.
Scholar: How do you feel after I slapped you?
Young Man: In pain.
Scholar: 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 (Devil).
Wasalaam,
KiRAN
