Dear visitors
 

This has to be the most exhilarating conversation Ive read in my life…check it out nabZ

 

 

Interesting Conversation

An atheist professor of philosophy speaks to his class on the problem science has with Allah, The Creator.
He asks one of his new students to stand and.....
Prof: So you believe in Allah?
Student: Absolutely, sir.
Prof: Is Allah good?
Student: Sure.
Prof: Is Allah all-powerful?
Student: Yes.
Prof: My brother died of cancer even though he prayed to Allah to heal him. Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill. But Allah didn't. How is this Allah good then? Hmm?
Student: (Student is silent.)
Prof: You can't answer, can you? Let's start again, young fella. Is Allah good?
Student: Yes.
Prof: Is Shaytan good?
Student: No.
Prof: Where does Shaytan come from?
Student: From...Allah...
Prof: That's right. Tell me son, is there evil in this world?
Student: Yes.
Prof: Evil is everywhere, isn't it? And Allah did make everything. Correct?
Student: Yes.
Prof: So who created evil?
Student: (Student does not answer.)
Prof: Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things exist in the world, don't they?
Student: Yes, sir.
Prof: So, who created them?
Student: (Student has no answer.)
Prof: Science says you have 5 senses you use to identify and observe the world around you. Tell me, son...Have you ever seen Allah?
Student: No, sir.
Prof: Tell us if you have ever heard your Allah?
Student: No , sir.
Prof: Have you ever felt your Allah, tasted your Allah, smelt your Allah? Have you ever had any sensory perception of Allah for that matter?
Student: No, sir. I'm afraid I haven't.
Prof: Yet you still believe in Him?
Student: Yes.
Prof: According to empirical, testable, demonstrable protocol, science says your ALLAH doesn't exist. What do you say to that, son?
Student: Nothing. I only have my IMAAN (Faith).
Prof: Yes. Imaan (Faith). And that is the problem science has.
Student: Professor, is there such a thing as heat?
Prof: Yes.
Student: And is there such a thing as cold?
Prof: Yes.
Student: No sir. There isn't. (The lecture theatre becomes very quiet with this turn of events.)
Student: Sir, you can have lots of heat, even more heat, superheat, mega heat, white heat, a little heat or no heat. But we don't have anything called cold.
We can hit 458 degrees below zero which is no heat, but we can't go any further after that.
There is no such thing as cold. Cold is only a word we use to describe the absence of heat.
We cannot measure cold. Heat is energy. Cold is not the opposite of heat, sir, just the absence of it. There is pin-drop silence in the lecture theatre.)
Student: What about darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing as darkness?
Prof: Yes. What is night if there isn't darkness?
Student: You're wrong again, sir. Darkness is the absence of something.
You can have low light, normal light, bright light, flashing light....But if you have no light constantly, you have nothing and it's called darkness, isn't it? In reality, darkness isn't. If it were, you would be able to make darkness darker, wouldn't you?
Prof: So what is the point you are making, young man?
Student: Sir, my point is your philosophical premise is flawed.
Prof: Flawed? Can you explain how?
Student: Sir, you are working on the premise of duality. You argue there is life and then there is death, a good Allah and a bad Allah. You are viewing the concept of Allah as something finite, something we can measure.
Sir, science can't even explain a thought. It uses electricity and magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one.
To view death as the opposite of life is to be ignorant of the fact that death cannot exist as a substantive thing.
Death is not the opposite of life: just the absence of it. Now tell me, Professor.
Do you teach your students that they evolved from a monkey?
Prof: If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process, yes, of course, I do.
Student: Have you ever observed evolution with your own eyes, sir?
Prof: (The Professor shakes his head with a smile, beginning to realize where the argument is going.)
Student: Since no one has ever observed the process of evolution at work and cannot even prove that this process is an on-going endeavor, are you not teaching your opinion, sir?
Are you not a scientist but a preacher?
Prof: (The class is in uproar.)
Student: Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the Professor's brain?
Prof: (The class breaks out into laughter.)
Student: Is there anyone here who has ever heard the Professor's brain, felt it, touched or smelt it?.....No one appears to have done so.
So, according to the established rules of empirical, stable, demonstrable protocol, science says that you have no brain, sir.
With all due respect, sir, how do we then trust your lectures, sir?
Prof: (The room is silent. The professor stares at the student, his face unfathomable.)
Prof: I guess you'll have to take them on Imaan (Faith), son.
Student: That is it sir.. The link between man & the Creator is IMAAN (Faith). That is all that keeps things moving & alive

THIS IS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL...


A man's daughter had asked the local Mulana to come and pray with her
father. When the mulana arrived, he found the man lying in bed with his
head propped up on two pillows. An empty chair sat beside his bed. The
mulana assumed that the old fellow had been informed of his visit. "I
guess you were expecting me, he said. 'No, who are you?" said the father.
The mulana told him his name and then remarked, "I saw the empty chair and
I figured you knew I was going to show up," "Oh yeah, the chair," said the
bedridden man. "Would you mind closing the door?" Puzzled, the mulana shut
the door. "I have never told anyone this, not even my daughter," said the
man. "But all of my life I have never known how to pray. At Mosque I used
to hear the Imam talk about prayer, but it went right over my head." I
abandoned any attempt at prayer," the old man continued, "until one day
four years ago, my best friend said to me, "Yusuf, prayer is just a simple
matter of having a conversation with Allah. Here is what I suggest." "Sit
down in a chair; place an empty chair in front of you, and in faith speak
to Allah on the chair. It's not spooky because he promised, 'I will be
with you always'. "Then just speak to him in the same way you're doing
with me right now." "So, I tried it and I've liked it so much that I do it
a couple of hours every day. I'm careful though If my daughter saw me
talking to an empty chair, she'd either have a nervous breakdown or send
me off to the funny farm." The Mulana was deeply moved by the story and
encouraged the old man to continue on the journey. Then he prayed with
him, anointed him with oil, and returned to the Mosque. Two nights later
the daughter called to tell the Mulana that her daddy had died that
afternoon. "Did he die in peace?" he asked. Yes, when I left the house
about two o'clock, he called me over to his bedside, told me he loved me
and kissed me on the cheek. When I got back from the store an hour later,
I found him dead. But there was something strange about his death.
Apparently, just before Daddy died, he leaned over and rested his head on
the chair beside the bed. What do you make of that?" The Mulana wiped a
tear from his eye and said, "I wish we could all go like that."


Prayer is one of the best free gifts we receive.


I asked Allah for water, He gave me an ocean.


I asked Allah for a flower, He gave me a garden.


I asked Allah for a friend, He gave me all of YOU...


If Allah brings you to it, He will bring you through it.


Happy moments, praise Allah.


Difficult moments, seek Allah


Quiet moments, worship Allah.


Painful moments, trust Allah.


Every moment, thank Allah.
