Islam - Children's Corner
Three Tough
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.
"Who are you? Can you answer my questions?," asked the young man
"I am one of Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta'ala)'s slaves and Insha'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 young boy
"I will try my best, with the help of Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta'ala)"
"I have 3 questions," began the boy
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 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!
The young man, who was shocked and hurt by the slap became confused, "Why do 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 young man said. He was really confused.
The scholar began to explain, "How did you feel after I slapped you?," he asked
"Of course, I felt the pain. it hurt," he replied
"So do you believe that pain exists?" the scholar asked
"Yes."
"Now Show me the shape of the pain!" said the wise Scholar
"I cannot," the young man replied
"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?," the
ascholar replied
"No"
"Did you ever think that you will get a slap from me, today?," the scholar
continued
"No."
"That is takdir (fate)........" The scholar continued, "My hand that I used to
slap you, what is it created from?"
"It is created from flesh," replied the young man
"How about your face, what is it created from?"
"Flesh, as well" replied the young man
"How did you feel after I slapped you?"
"In pain."
"Even though Shaitan (satan) and Jahunnum (Hell-fire) were created from fire, if
Allah wants, insha'Allah (God willing), the Hell-fire will become a very painful
place for Shaitan (Devil)" ended the wise Scholar.
The wise Scholar had answered all three of the tough questions by one slap.
