The Three Questions
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 three questions. Finally, his parents were able to find a Muslim scholar.
Young Man (YM): Who are you? Can you answer my questions?
Muslim Scholar (MS): I am one of Allah’s slaves and Insha-Allah (God willing), I will be able to answer your questions.
YM: Are you sure? A lot of professors and experts were not able to answer my questions.
MS: I will try my best, with the help of Allah.
YM: I have three questions:
- Does God exist? If so, show me His Shape.
- What is takdir (fate)?
- If Shaytan (Satan) was created from fire, why will he be thrown into Hell that is also created from fire. It certainly will not hurt him at all, since Shaytan and Hell were created from fire. Did God not think of it this way?
Suddenly, the Muslim scholar slapped the young man’s face very hard.
YM (feeling pain): Why did you get angry at me?
MS: I am not angry. The slap is my answer to your three questions.
YM: I really don’t understand.
MS: How do you feel after I slapped you?
YM: Of course, I felt the pain.
MS: So do you believe that pain exists?
YM: Yes.
MS: Show me the shape of the pain!
YM: I cannot.
MS: 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?
YM: No.
MS: Did you ever think that you will get a slap from me, today?
YM: No.
MS: That is takdir (fate). My hand that I used to slap you, what is it created from?
YM: It is created from flesh.
MS: How about your face, what is it created from?
YM: Flesh.
MS: How do you feel after I slapped you?
YM: In pain.
MS: Even though Shaytan and also Hell were created from fire, if Allah wants, Insha-Allah, the Hell-Fire will become a very painful place for Shaytan.
