Does God exist? If so, show me His shape?

Question

http://www.islamawareness.net
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)?

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.

Answer 1

Nice story and great way to explain the three questions.

Answer 2

Exciting story - - but it won't be enough for everyone
God is just a perception, an everyone perception is different.
God is a form of being that a group of people accept to be a superior for them, who they admire, and usually have given (or expected to give) them something.
Enough with the holly book / text nonsense ! It's the only one which been told to you over an over in your community so you think that's the only thing that right.
Think with logic and open mind, they're many form of Gods around us, with different religion to back it up, and usually it has a long story behind it. Some traditional tribes have God of earth, because they think that the earth have give them live (through plants and animals they can eat, water, etc), some fishing tribes have God of sea, and many more examples.
Go to small remote traditional tribe with the power of electricity, light, fire, car, and all the modern gizmo and they will worship you as their God, because you can do things that they can't explain or even do themself. They'll seek knowledge, guide, and protection from you. Sound familiar huh? That's usually the beginning of every God and religion, but that's not always written on your books.

Ever play strategy games like sim city or civilization or something like that, when you can do what you want where you want, that's the power of you as a form of God (to your citizens there).

And what's up with 'His' part? Do you ever meet 'The One' and confirm that 'The One' is a male? Or you just told to think so?

Got the point?

Answer 3

So, if people inquire into the nature and existence of God their inquiries should first be met with a slap in the face-- so much for Allah compassionate and merciful.

Answer 4

You've must of watched Lord of the Rings; Moses Arc of the Convent must of been communicating with something. I doubt you've never read the sci-fi book, Arcturus it takes place in the future.

Answer 5

good story, kinda makes me want to slap the next guy who asks about god.

(btw, God's shape is that of a man, Bibically)

Answer 6

It all depends on who or what you believe God is. In a way if you can truly define god the you don't know the true god!

Answer 7

O you Wind can't be seen but your breeze indeed i feel,
Have not you seen the butterfly's wings change the weather,
Doesn't the whale need air?, And the bird changes its feathers?

Answer 8

God is a woman, everyone knows that.

"O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing."

Answer 9

"God is a woman, everyone knows that."

Thats so right!

A female dinosaurs can reproduce by itself... and the egg it lays can be male or female from the temperature from incubation.

That would proves both Koran and Bible as man-made to retain the power of Man!

Without woman, no man can reproduce... but a woman can still survive without a male counterparts... they had us do all the hard work anyways AND STILL THEY DON'T RESPECT THEIR MAMAS!

Answer 10

Sometimes reality is painful!
