yes He exists..


A man went to a barbershop to have his hair cut and his beard trimmed. As the barber began to work, they began to have a good conversation. They talked about so many things and various subjects. When they eventually touched on the subject of Allah, the barber said: " I don't believe that Allah exists."

"Why do you say that?"asked the customer.

"Well, you just have to go out in the street to realize that Allah doesn't exist. Tell me, if Allah exists, would there be so many sick people? would there be abandoned children? If Allah existed, there would be neither suffering nor pain. I can't imagine a loving Allah who would allow all of these things.

The customer thought for a moment, but didn't respond because he didn't want to start an argument. The barber finished his job and the customer left the shop. Just after he left the barbershop, he saw a man in the street with long, stringy, dirty hair and an untrimmed beard. He looked dirty and unkempt. The customer turned back and entered the barber shop again and he said to the barber:

"You know what? Barbers do not exist."

"How can you say that?asked the surprised barber. "I am here, and I am a barber. And I just worked on you!"

"No!" the customer exclaimed. "Barbers don't exist because if they did, there would be no people with dirty long hair and untrimmed beards, like that man outside."

"Ah, but barbers do exist! That's what happens when people do not come to me."

"Exactly!"

Affirmed the customer. "That's the point! Allah, too, does exist! That's what happens when people do not go to Him and don't look to Him for help. That's why there's so much pain and suffering in the world."



1) I got this nice story from an email sent by abg.ijan..Out of hundreds that he forwarded to me, i think this one worth sharing. Unfortunately, the original copy was all in uppercase and i have to edit it so that it won't look like someone is shouting (recalling email etiquette learnt at intec..=p). This story is best for people who like to find the logic of something.

2) If we could always put our trust on Him and believe what He has guaranteed us, inshaAllah all pain and sufferings will just appear like a small bump. Come highs and lows, we will stay unruffled. That's because everything is temporary in this world..sooner or later all the hardship we are going through will disappear. But don't forget to keep on praying..and remember, if u love Allah, He will love u back and u won't be disappointed. But if u love humans, don't expect too much that they will love u in return. So, don't blame others when u are unhappy with ur life..point ur fingers to urself first, before u find the faults in others. We r responsible for our own life. Besides, pain and sufferings are not meant to weaken us..but to strengthen our faith and help us come closer to our Greatest Creator.

May we find the brightest side of any pain and sufferings we face..=)

Sekian,
Wassalam.
