The atheist professor of philosophy pauses before his class and then asks one of his new students to stand.
"You're a Muslim, aren't you, son?"

"Yes, sir."

"So you believe in God?"

"Absolutely."

"Is God good?"

"Sure! God's good."

The atheist professor of philosophy pauses before his class and then asks
one of his new students to stand.

"You're a Muslim, aren't you, son?"

"Yes, sir."

"So you believe in God?"

"Absolutely."

"Is God good?"

"Sure! God's good."

"Is God all-powerful? Can God do anything?"

"Yes."

The professor grins knowingly and considers for a moment.
"Here's one for you. Let's say there's a sick person over here and you can
cure him. You can do it. Would you help them? Would you try?"

"Yes sir, I would."

"So you're good...!"

"I wouldn't say that."

Why not say that? You would help a sick and maimed person if you could in
fact most of us would if we could... God doesn't.



"Sit down, please."

The Muslim sits...Defeated.

Another Muslim raises his hand. "Professor, may I address the class?"

The professor turns and smiles. "Ah, another Muslim in the vanguard! Come,
come, young man. Speak some proper wisdom to the gathering."

The Muslim looks around the room. "Some interesting points you are making,
sir. Now I've got a question for you.

"Is there such thing as heat?"

Yes, the professor replies. "There's heat."

"Is there such a thing as cold?"

"Yes, son, there's cold too."

"No, sir, there isn't."

The professor's grin freezes. The room suddenly goes very cold. The second
Muslim continues.

You can have lots of heat, even more heat, super-heat, 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, otherwise we would be
able to go colder than 458 - - You see, sir, cold is only a word we use to
describe the absence of heat. We cannot measure cold.

"Heat we can measure in thermal units because heat is energy. Cold is not
the opposite of heat, sir, just the absence of it. "Silence. A pin drops
somewhere in the classroom.

"Is there such a thing as darkness, professor?"

"That's a dumb question, son. What is night if it isn't darkness?

What are you getting at...?

"So you say there is such a thing as darkness?"

"Yes..."

"You're wrong again, sir. Darkness is not something, it 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? That's the meaning we use to define the word. In
reality, Darkness isn't. If it were, you would be able to make darkness
darker and give me a jar of it. Can you...give me a jar of darker darkness,
professor?"

Despite himself, the professor smiles at the young effrontery before him.
This will indeed be a good semester.
"Would you mind telling us what your point is, young man?"

"Yes, professor. My point is, your philosophical premise is flawed to start
with and so your conclusion must be in error...."

"The professor goes toxic. "Flawed...? How dare you...!"
"Sir, may I explain what I mean?"

The class is all ears.

"Explain... oh, explain..." The professor makes an admirable effort to
regain control. Suddenly he is affability itself.

He waves his hand to silence the class, for the student to continue.

"You are working on the premise of duality," the Muslim explains. That for
example there is life and then there's death; a good God and a bad God. You
are viewing the concept of God as something finite, something we can
measure. Sir, science cannot even explain a thought. It uses electricity
and magnetism but has never seen, much less fully understood them. 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, merely the absence of it." The young
man holds up a newspaper he takes from the desk of a neighbor who has been
reading it.

"Here is one of the most disgusting tabloids this country hosts, professor.

"Is there such a thing as immorality?"
"Of course there is, now look..."

"Wrong again, sir. You see, immorality is merely the absence of morality.
Is there such thing as injustice? No." Injustice is the absence of justice.

Is there such a thing as evil?" The Muslim pauses. "Isn't evil the absence
of good?"
The professor's face has turned an alarming colour. He is so angry he is
temporarily speechless.

The Muslim continues. "If there is evil in the world, professor, and we all
agree there is, then God, if he exists, must be accomplishing a work
through the agency of evil. What is that work, God is accomplishing? Islam
tells us it is to see if each one of us will, choose good over evil."

The professor bridles. "As a philosophical scientist, I don't vie this
matter as having anything to do with any choice; as a realist, I absolutely
do not recognize the concept of God or any other theological factor as
being part of the world equation because God is not observable."

"I would have thought that the absence of God's moral code in this world is
probably one of the most observable phenomena going," the Muslim replies.

"Newspapers make billions of dollars reporting it every week! Tell me,
professor. Do you teach your students that they evolved from a monkey?"

"If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process, young man, yes,
of course I do."

"Have you ever observed evolution with your own eyes, sir?"

The professor makes a sucking sound with his teeth and gives his student a
silent, stony stare.

"Professor. 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 now not a scientist, but a priest?"

"I will overlook your impudence in the light of our philosophical
discussion. Now, have you quite finished?" the professor hisses.

"So you don't accept God's moral code to do what is righteous?"

"I believe in what is - that's science!"

"Ahh! SCIENCE!" the student's face splits into a grin.

"Sir, you rightly state that science is the study of observed phenomena.
Science too is a premise which is flawed..."

"SCIENCE IS FLAWED..?" the professor splutters.

The class is in uproar. The Muslim remains standing until the commotion has
subsided.

"To continue the point you were making earlier to the other student, may I
give you an example of what I mean?"

The professor wisely keeps silent. The Muslim looks around the room. "Is
there anyone in the class who has ever seen air, Oxygen, molecules, atoms,
the professor's brain?"

The class breaks out in laughter. The Muslim points towards his elderly,
crumbling tutor.

Is there anyone here who has ever heard the professor's brain... felt the
professor's brain, touched or smelt the professor's brain?"

No one appears to have done so. The Muslim shakes his head sadly. It
appears no-one here has had any sensory perception of the professor's brain
whatsoever. Well, according to the rules of empirical, stable, demonstrable
protocol, science, I DECLARE that the professor has no brain."

NOW IT IS EVERYONE'S CHANCE TO LEARN MORE ABOUT ISLAM, ABOUT GOD, ABOUT THE
PURPOSE OF Existence, creation & life, ABOUT THE PROPHETS OF GOD, & ABOUT
HIS HOLY BOOKS, ESPECIALLY THE HOLY QUR'AAN. THEN IT IS YOUR CHOICE TO
BECOME A MUSLIM, OR NOT. ALLAH SAYS IN THE HOLY: "THERE IS NO COMPULSION IN
RELIGION "

There is no compulsion in religion; truly the right way has become clearly
distinct from error; And he who rejects false deities and believes in Allah
(The God) has grasped a firm handhold which will never break. and Allah is
ALL-Hearing, All-Knowing(256)

Allah is the Protecting Guardian of those who believe. He brings them out
of the darkness into the light; As for those who disbelieve, their
guardians are false deities. They bring them out of light into
darkness...(257)"

AL-QUR'AAN (CHAPTER # 2, VERSES # 256-257) They are much nicer and more
sound in Arabic)

The Muslim sits... Because that is what a chair is for!!!
