[align=left]Dear Abdul,
At the bottom of each of the parables you kindly submitted, you’ll find my comment...
Once, a Bedouin was asked what made an unsophisticated man like him believe in Allah.
Bedouin: "Do you see these marks in the sand?"
Man: "Yes."
Bedouin: "What do they tell you?"
Man: "A camel went by."
Bedouin: "Did you see the camel?"
Man: "No, but these footprints in the sand suggest that a camel madevthem."
Bedouin: "Do you see these mountains?"
Man: "Yes."
Bedouin: "They are indicative to me that Allah made them."
My Comment: Being in the position of the man I would present the Bedouin a yearly subscription to National Geographic, were he could read articles like this one: http://news.nationalgeographic.com/n...523_rocks.html
Such articles could help the unsophisticated Bedouin of our story to help his family and children towards a better future.

Once Khalifa Haroon Rasheed asked Imam Malik: "What is the evidence
(daleel) pointing to the existence of Allah (subhanahu wa ta`ala)?" Imam Malik replied: "Difference in languages, difference in pitches of voice,
difference in singing are proof that Allah (subhanahu wa ta`ala)
exists!"
My Comment: With all the respect to Imam Malik, what is his opinion about this : http://www.hrw.org/photos/2006/indon...06/photo1.htm?
It is much more socking than the story of the Babel Tower…

The same question was asked, by an atheist, of Imam Abu Hanifa and he replied, "Forget it! At the moment, I am busy thinking about this ship.
People tell me there is a big ship, it contains different goods on board. There is no one to steer it, no one maintaining it. Yet, this ship keeps going back and forth; it even traverses big waves on the oceans; it stops at the locations that it is supposed to stop at; it continues in the direction that it is supposed to head. This ship has nocaptain and no one planning its trips."
The atheist who posed the question interrupted and exclaimed, "What kind of strange and silly thought is this? How can any intelligent person think that some thing like this can occur?"
Imam Abu Hanifa said, "I feel sorry about your state! You cannot imagine one ship running without some one looking after its affairs. Yet you think that for this whole world, which runs exactly and precisely, there is no one who looks after it, and no one owns it."
Hearing the reply, the atheist was left speechless but he found out more about Haqq (The Truth) and proclaimed Islam.
My Comment: I assume that Imam Abu Hanifa, was not following the news at the time… If his holiness was aware of practices like this http://www.care.org/newsroom/article...860830_fgc.asp, perhaps he would have second thoughts on the notion that “this whole world… runs exactly and precisely”
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Imam Shafi`i replied to the question in the following way, "The leaves of Toot (berries) are all but one. Each leaf tastes exactly the same. Insects, honey bees, cows, goats, and deer live off of it. After eating these, the insects produce silk; bees produce honey; deer give musk (a special kind of scent), cows and goats deliver off-springs. Is this not clear evidence that one kind of leaf has so many qualities, and who created these qualities? It is the Khaliq (Creator) who we call Allah (subhanahu wa ta`ala) Who is the Inventor and the Creator."
My Comment: If Subhanahu Wa Ta`Ala is the Inventor and the Creator of the human being, then any logical person would question his judgment. Read this, if you like: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kyoto_Protocol
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal reflected on the question in the following way.
He said, "There is an incredibly strong fort, it has no doors, there is no way to get in. In fact, there is not even a hole in it. From outside it glows like the moon and from inside it shimmers like gold. It is sealed from all sides, matter of fact it is air tight. Suddenly one of its doors breaks down, a living thing with eyes and ears, a beautiful looking animal appears yelling and wandering all over. So is not there a creator who made it possible for life to take place in this secured and closed fort? And is not this Creator better than humans? This Creator has no limit." Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal was referring to an egg which is closed from all sides but Allah (subhanahu wa ta`ala) The Khaliq (Creator) puts life in it and a chick pops out.
My Comment: An Egg can produce a chick, can produce a poisonous snake, can produce other things… Have you seen this film:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0076686/?
It’s a good one. Just an allegory, of course… just like all the above, you kindly submitted.
All the Best,
Ishkandar
P.S. If you want my opinion, it is fruitless to discuss about religion. You cannot persuade me on your position and I cannot persuade you on my thesis. Personally, I don’t even try… If you think there are other subjects that could attract a common interest I’d me more than glad to go on with this correspondence.
Sincerely Yours[/CENTER]…
