3 Soalan 1 Penampar...

Jawapan dengan Tamparan...
Pemuda : Anda siapa Dan apakah bisa menjawab pertanyaan-pertanyaan saya?
Imam : Saya hamba Allah dan dengan izin-Nya saya akan menjawab pertanyaan anda.
Pemuda : Anda yakin? Sedangkan Profesor dan ramai orang yang pintar tidak mampu menjawab pertanyaan saya.
Imam : Saya akan mencuba sejauh kemampuan saya.
Pemuda : Saya ada 3 pertanyaan:-

1.Kalau memang Tuhan itu ada,tunjukan wujud tuhan kepada saya
2.Apakah yang dinamakan takdir
3.Kalau syaitan diciptakan dari api kenapa dimasukan ke neraka yang dibuat dari api,tentu tidak menyakitkan buat syaitan. Sebab mereka memiliki unsur yang sama.Apakah Tuhan tidak pernah berfikir sejauhitu?

Tiba-tiba Imam tersebut menampar pipi pemuda tadi dengan keras.

Pemuda : Kenapa anda marah kepada saya? (sambil menahan sakit)
Imam : Saya tidak marah. Tamparan itu adalah jawaban saya atas 3 pertanyaan yang anda ajukan kepada saya.
Pemuda : Saya sungguh-sungguh tidak mengerti.

Imam : Bagaimana rasanya tamparan saya?
Pemuda : Tentu saja saya merasakan sakit.
Imam : Jadi anda percaya bahawa sakit itu ada?
Pemuda : Ya!
Imam : Tunjukan pada saya wujud sakit itu!
Pemuda : Saya tidak boleh.
Imam : Itulah jawaban pertanyaan pertama. Kita semua merasakan kewujudan Tuhan tanpa mampu melihat wujudnya.

Imam : Apakah tadi malam anda bermimpi akan ditampar oleh saya?
Pemuda : Tidak.
Imam : Apakah pernah terfikir oleh anda akan menerima tamparan dari saya hari ini?
Pemuda : Tidak.

Pemuda : Kulit.
Imam : Bagaimana rasanya tamparan saya?
Pemuda : Sakit.
Imam : Walaupun syaitan dijadikan dari api dan neraka juga terbuat dari api, jika
Tuhan menghendaki maka neraka akan menjadi tempat yang menyakitkan untuk
syaitan...

The Boy and The Scholar!

There was a young man who went overseas to study for a 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: Who are you? Can you answer my Questions?
Scholar: I am one of Allah’s (SWT) 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 (Subhanahu Wata’ala).
Young Man Says: I have 3 Questions:

Question # 1 Does God Exist? If so, show me his shape.
Question # 2 What is Taqdeer (Fate)?
Question # 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 & the hell were created from Fire. Did God Think of this far?

Suddenly, the Scholar slapped the young man’s face very hard.
Young man (Felt Pain): why do you get angry at me?

Scholar: I am not angry. The slap is my answer to your questions.
Young Man: I really don’t understand. 

Scholar: How do you feel after I slapped you?
Young Man: Of course, I felt 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 able to 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 Taqdeer (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: That’s it. This is my third answer, even though Shaitan (Devil) and also the hell were created from the fire, if Allah wants, the hell will become a very painful place for Shaitan.

Subhna allah, This story shows us the power of knowledge and how if person is knowledgeable about the issue of our religion, he could answer any question. It also shows the wisdom of older age.

Hope you like it.
