3 QUESTIONS










(From a forwarded email.)



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 3 Questions.
Finally, his parents were able to find a Muslim scholar.


Young man: Who are you? Can you answer my questions?


Scholar: I am one of Allah (SubHana Wa Ta`ala )'s slaves and Insha-Allah (God willing), I will be able to answer your questions.


Young man: Are you sure? A lot of Professors and experts were not able to answer my questions.


Scholar: I will try my best, with the help of Allah SubHana WaTa`ala.


Young Man: I have 3 questions.
1. Does God exist? If so, show me His shape.
2. What is taqdeer (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 nothurt 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.


Young Man (feeling pain): Why do you get angry at me?
Scholar: I am not angry. The slap is my answer to your three questions.


Young Man: I really don't understand.


Scholar: How do you feel after I slapped you?


Young Man: Of course, I felt the pain.


Scholar: So do you believe that pain exists?


Young Man: Yes.


Scholar: Show me the shape of the pain!


Young Man: I cannot.
Scholar: That is my first answer. All of us feel God's existence without being ableto see His shape... Last night, did you dream that you will be slapped by me?


Young Man: No.


Scholar: Did you ever think that you will get a slap from me,today?


Young Man: No.


Scholar: That is takdir (fate) my second answer........ My hand that I used to slap you, what is it created from?


Young Man: It is created from flesh.


Scholar: How about your face, what is it created from?


Young Man: Flesh.


Scholar: How do you feel after I slapped you?


Young Man: In pain.


Scholar: Thats it. this is my third answer, Even though Shaitan (Devil) and also the hell were created from the fire, if Allah wants,insha-Allah (God willing), the hell will become a very painful place for Shaitan

After a long while

I've been away. Truthfully, my mind has. I just couldn't find the drive to write. Maybe it's time I tried again.

Historians: Bush presidency 'battered,' 'incompetent,' 'unlucky'

Yeah, whatever you wish to call him, I would not call it a defeat for the Bush administration until somebody sticks a lawsuit or enquiry up their rotten sorry behinds.

You can change the future, but not the past. Yet, we cannot erase what has been done.

He may burn in hell for all I care, but I want to see him on trial for his crimes against Islam and humanity in general. No president of the US is hell bent on war and domination as the Bush dynasty had proven to be. I welcome Obama as he brings his promised changes, but then again promises don't make the man, action does. As for the riddance of Bush from the corridors of power, I would say no, it does all of us no justice until he, no reprise until he answer for his atrocities in the name of US security, US way of life and all the other stinking feces that he rhetorically engorges.

He must pay, and in his lifetime.

Roughing it up with the waves

My nephew getting roughed up by waves at Anyer. I like the dynamicism of this photo, it exaggerates the action. Mind you, he was actually standing, not swimming up a breaking wave.
