A Parsi/Zoroastrian asked four questions to a Sufi Muslim scholar and said if you can answer these questions then I will become a Muslim.
First question is that Why Allah created us ?
Second question is Why after creating us He provides us sustenance ?
Third question is after providing us sustenance and nurturing us why He gives us death ?
And the last question is Why is He going to raise us again after our death ?
The Scholar answered the first question like this:
He created us so that we could identify Him and relate to Him.
second answer He provides us sustenance so that we could know that he is the best sustainer(Al-Razzaq).
The third answer is that He gives us death so that we would know that Allah can do anything and everything , He is the compeller ( Al-Jabbar) and that He has absolute power.(Al-Qahhar).
Fourth answer is that Allah will give us life after death so that we could find out ourselves that Allah can do whatever He wishes (Al-Qaddir).
After that this Sufi Scholar put his hand in the fire burning near by, for a long time. The fire did not harm the hand of this Sufi.
After listening to these answer and looking at this karamat , the Parsi became a Muslim.
Re: Four questions of a Parsi/Zoroastrian.
Hm. Allah created human because he wanted to identify and relate to him? Why does he suffer that need (identity crisis?) and was he getting bored?
How about may be he didn't have any choice but to create
Or how about being Allah. he did everything, and creating life is part of doing everything

Relate to Him? How can a human relate to Allah?
And can we stop with the nonsense email forwards. Email forwards are for 12 year olds who just discovered the internet and think Bill Gates really wants to give them money.
Re: Four questions of a Parsi/Zoroastrian.
a useless story to tell people about one's beliefs. these stories have the same formula. there is always a non muslim involved. the non muslim character is usually someone who are found in that area where the story originates or morphs. the characters seldom have any names, nor can the accounts be verified. the non muslim always becomes a muslim.
and to think that many people believe this BS...
