Three Tough Questions


There was a 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 three questions.
Finally, his parents were able to find a Muslim scholar that might could.

Who are you? Can you answer my questions ?” asked the man.
I am one of Allah ( Subhanahu wa Ta`ala )`s slaves and Insya Allah ( God willing ), I will be able to answer your questions,” replied the scholar.

“ Are you sure? A lot of Professors and experts were not able to answer my questions,” replied the man.

“ I will try my best, with the help of Allah ( Subhanahu wa Ta`ala )” said the scholar.

“ I have three questions ” began the man.
"Does God exist? If so now show me His shape.
What is taqdir ( fate )?
If syaitan ( Devil ) was created from 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 syaitan ( Devil ) and the hell were created from fire. Did God not think this far?"

Suddenly the scholar slapped the young man`s face very hard. The man, who was shocked and hurt by the slap became confused,

Why are you angry at me?” he asked.
I am not angry,” answered the scholar,
The slap is my answer to your three questions.”
“ I really don`t understand
,” the man said. He was really confused.

The scholar began to explain,

Scholar : “How did it feel after I slapped you?”
Man : “Of course , I felt the pain. It hurts” he replied.
Scholar : “So do you believe the pain exist?”
Man : “Yes” he answered.
Scholar : “Now show me the shape of the pain!”
Man : “I cannot,”
Scholar “That is my first answer. All of us feels God`s existance without being able to see His shape”.

Scholar : “ Last night, did you dream that you will be slapped by me?,”
Man : “ No.”
The scholar continued…“ Did you ever thought that you will get slapped by me?,”
Man : “No”
Scholar : “That is taqdir ( fate )…
He then continued : “The hand that I used to slap you, what is it created from?”
Man : “It`s created from flesh,”
Scholar : “How about your face, what is it created from?”
Man : “Flesh as well”
Scholar : “How did you feel after I slapped you?”
Man : “In pain”
Scholar : “Even though Syaitan ( devil ) and Jahannam ( Hell-fire ) were created by fire, if Allah wants , insya-Allah the Hell-fire will become a very painful place for Syaitan”

The wise scholar had answerd all three of the tough questions by one slap!
