An Amazing Discussion between student and professor,,,,a guideline for those who donot believe On Islam
Professor: You are a Muslim, aren't you, son?
Student : Yes, sir.
Professor: So you believe in God?
Student : Absolutely, sir.
Professor: Is God good?
Student : Sure.
Prof: Is God all-powerful?
Student : Yes.
Prof: My brother died of cancer even though he prayed to God to heal him.
Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill. But God didn't. How is this God good then? Hmm?
(Student is silent.)
Prof: You can't answer, can you? Let's start again, young fella. Is God good?
Student :Yes.
Prof: Is Satan good?
Student : No.
Prof: Where does Satan come from?
Student : From...God...
Prof: That's right. Tell me son, is there evil in this world?
Student : Yes.
Prof: Evil is everywhere, isn't it? And God did make everything. Correct?
Student : Yes.
Prof: So who created evil?
(Student does not answer.)
Prof: Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things exist in the world, don't they?
Student :Yes, sir.
Prof: So, who created them?
(Student has no answer.)
Prof: Science says you have 5 senses you use to identify and observe the world around you. Tell me, son...Have you ever seen God?
Student : No, sir.
Prof: Tell us if you have ever heard your God?
Student : No , sir.
Prof: Have you ever felt your God, tasted your God, smelt your God? Have you ever had any sensory perception of God for that matter?
Student : No, sir. I'm afraid I haven't.
Prof: Yet you still believe in Him?
Student : Yes.
Prof: According to empirical, testable, demonstrable protocol, science says your GOD doesn't exist. What do you say to that, son?
Student : Nothing. I only have my faith.
Prof: Yes. Faith. And that is the problem science has.
Student : Professor, is there such a thing as heat?
Prof: Yes.
Student : And is there such a thing as cold?
Prof: Yes.
Student : No sir. There isn't.
(The lecture theatre becomes very quiet with this turn of events.)
Student : Sir, you can have lots of heat, even more heat, superheat, mega heat, white heat, a little heat or no heat. But we don't have anything called cold. We can hit 458 degrees below zero which is no heat, but we can't go any further after that. There is no such thing as cold. Cold is only a word we use to describe the absence of heat. We cannot measure cold. Heat is energy. Cold is not the opposite of heat, sir, just the absence of it.
(There is pin-drop silence in the lecture theatre.)
Student : What about darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing as darkness?
Prof: Yes. What is night if there isn't darkness?
Student : You're wrong again, sir. Darkness is the absence of something. You can have low light, normal light, bright light, flashing light....But if >you have no light constantly, you have nothing and it's called darkness, isn't it? In reality, darkness isn't. If it were you would be able to make darkness darker, wouldn't you?
Prof: So what is the point you are making, young man?
Student : Sir, my point is your philosophical premise is flawed.
Prof: Flawed? Can you explain how?
Student : Sir, you are working on the premise of duality. You argue there is life and then there is death, a good God and a bad God. You are viewing the concept of God as something finite, something we can measure. Sir, science can't even explain a thought. It uses electricity and magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one. To view death as the opposite of life is to be ignorant of the fact that death cannot exist as a substantive thing. Death is not the opposite of life: just the absence of it. Now tell me, Professor. Do you teach your students that they evolved from a monkey?
Prof: If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process, yes, of course, I do.
Student : Have you ever observed evolution with your own eyes, sir?
(The Professor shakes his head with a smile, beginning to realize where the argument is going.)
Student : Since no one has ever observed the process of evolution at work and cannot even prove that this process is an on-going endeavour, are you not teaching your opinion, sir? Are you not a scientist but a preacher?
(The class is in uproar.)
Student : Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the Professor's brain?
(The class breaks out into laughter.)
Student : Is there anyone here who has ever heard the Professor's brain, felt it, touched or smelt it?.....No one appears to have done so. So, according to the established rules of empirical, stable, demonstrable protocol, science says that you have no brain, sir. With all due respect, sir, how do we then trust your lectures, sir?
(The room is silent. The professor stares at the student, his face unfathomable.)
Prof: I guess you'll have to take them on faith, son.
Student : That is it sir.. The link between man & god is FAITH. That is all that keeps things moving & alive.
Amazingly true isnt it??????
An Interesting Conversation Between Student & Teacher
An atheist professor of philosophy speaks to his class on the problem science has with God, The Almighty. He asks one of his new Muslim students to stand and..... Professor: You are a Muslim, aren't you, son?
Student : Yes, sir.
Professor: So you believe in God?
Student : Absolutely, sir.
Professor: Is God good?
Student : Sure.
Prof: Is God all-powerful?

Real Islam
The way of the prophets of Allah was one and the same. They came to give the same message and followed basically the same principles and values. The way of the prophets was not the way of kings or rulers, the way of politicians and military commanders, the way of the rich and comfortable people.
The way of the prophets was different from what the world expects or from what we are used to seeing and observing in this world.
The way of the prophets was to uphold the real and permanent over the ephemeral and transitory, the spiritual over the material, the moral and ethical over that which brings quick profit or results.
The way of the prophets was not the way of power but the way of inner strength and energy. Their way was not the way of worldly pomp and glory but the way of humble devotion to Allah and service of humanity.
It is reported that the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
This advice contains the basic ethic of Islam, which is not an ordinary ethic but is divine and prophetic. The ethical principles given here require special effort, training, and sacrifice. It is not easy or simple to live by these principles, but they have lasting values and they bring eternal blessings.
This is our daily challenge. Our challenge is how to live by this ethic in our daily life. The challenge is not to live by these values and principles in the situation of ease and happiness, but to live by them in all circumstances.
The challenge is to live by these principles, teach them to our younger generation, and to form and build a community of faithful who are willing to dedicate themselves to them.
1. Al-Ikhlas (Sincerity):
The first principle of the Islamic ethic is sincerity, which means purity of the heart and purity of the mind (intention). It means truth and honesty. Sincerity in every situation whether alone or in public. There are many who are not sincere.
They live the life of hypocrisy. There are some who show themselves very sincere when in public, but in their private life when others are not watching them, their behavior changes. Real sincerity comes from the fear of Allah.
In another version of this hadith, it is mentioned that Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, The fear of Allah (khashyah) in private or in public.
2. Al-`Adl (Justice):
Justice and fair dealing is necessary with all people, with friends and foes alike, whether in happiness as well as in anger. Sometimes it is easy to talk of justice in the situation of comfort when there is no commotion or conflict, but the real challenge is to uphold justice even in relation to those who make you angry.
Justice even to those who hate you and who never stop opposing and mistreating you. Justice not only in words, but in words and deeds both.
3. Al-Qasd (Moderation):
It is to follow the middle path. Moderation should be in everything, not only in financial matters but in every aspect of life. In tight situations, people become extremist, upset, and afraid. In affluence also people lose control over themselves. The rich do not see the need for moderation, but moderation is good for all people in all circumstances.
4. Silat ar-Rahm (Keeping the ties of kinship):
These are family ties. This means good relations between all members of the family and taking care of those who are in need. The challenge is not only to help those relatives who are nice or who give, but to give also to those who withhold and do not give anything at any occasion. Family is moral commitment.
One should not be good to family members only when they are good, but one should be good even to those relatives who do not treat you well.
5. `Ata (Generosity):
Believers are always generous. They give to all and everywhere. There is a great reward in helping people in their needs. However, the extraordinary character is to give to those who do not give and to also give to those who purposely deny and deprive us.
6. Al-`Afw (Forgiveness):
It is not easy to forgive those who do wrong to us. Islam teaches that one should forgive as much as possible, but the greatest forgiveness is when one pardons while one is capable of taking revenge and punish. Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) has given us the best example of this value. He was ever willing to forgive his enemies
7. Fikr (Thinking and reflection):
It is good to be silent as much as possible. To speak only when it is necessary. But silence should be with thinking and reflection.
8. Dhikr (Remembrance and speaking of Allah)
: Our tongue is a great gift of Allah to us. We are distinguished from animals because we can use our tongue. We should use our tongue to praise Allah and give thanks to Him, but we should also keep Allah in mind whenever we open our mouth. A lot of sins of the tongue, such as lying, backbiting, gossiping, using bad words, et cetera, come because we do not remember Allah.
9. `Ibrah (Learning and taking lessons):
Our eyes and minds must remain open to understand things and to take lessons from the events around us. We should be very thoughtful always.
The Prophetic Ethics Our Daily Challenge
By Dr. Muzammil H. Siddiqi
But those will prosper who purify themselves, glorify the name of their Lord, and (lift their hearts) in Prayer. Nay (behold), you prefer the life of this world; but the Hereafter is better and more enduring. And this is in the Books of the earliest (Revelations), the Books of Abraham and Moses. (Al-A`la 87:14-19)
Our daily challenge is how to live in this world in the way of the prophets of Allah, all the prophets of Allah from Adam to the last and final Prophet, Muhammad - peace be upon all of them.
The way of the prophets of Allah was one and the same. They came to give the same message and followed basically the same principles and values. The way of the prophets was not the way of kings or rulers, the way of politicians and military commanders, the way of the rich and comfortable people.
The way of the prophets was different from what the world expects or from what we are used to seeing and observing in this world.
The way of the prophets was to uphold the real and permanent over the ephemeral and transitory, the spiritual over the material, the moral and ethical over that which brings quick profit or results.
The way of the prophets was not the way of power but the way of inner strength and energy. Their way was not the way of worldly pomp and glory but the way of humble devotion to Allah and service of humanity.
It is reported that the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
My Lord gave me nine (bits of) advice and I give them to you. He advised me:
These are some very important points of advice that Allah gave to Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). He lived by them in his whole life. He was a perfect example of these virtues. He also gave this advice to us.- To be sincere whether in private or in public
- To do justice whether in anger or in happiness
- To be moderate whether in riches or in poverty
- To join (in relations) with those who (try) to cut me off
- To give to those who deprive me
- To forgive those who do wrong to me
- That my silence be thoughtful
- That my speech be mindful (of Allah)
- That my vision be to take admonition.
This advice contains the basic ethic of Islam, which is not an ordinary ethic but is divine and prophetic. The ethical principles given here require special effort, training, and sacrifice. It is not easy or simple to live by these principles, but they have lasting values and they bring eternal blessings.
This is our daily challenge. Our challenge is how to live by this ethic in our daily life. The challenge is not to live by these values and principles in the situation of ease and happiness, but to live by them in all circumstances.
