>There was a young man who went overseas to study for quite a long time. When he returned, he asked his parents to find him a religious scholar or an expert who could answer his 3 questions.
>
>Finally, his parents were able to find him a Muslim scholar.

>
>Young man: Who are you and can you answer my questions?
>Scholar: I'm one of Allah's (subhana wa Ta'la) slaves and InshaAllah I will be able to answer your questions.
>
>Young man: Are you sure because a lot of experts and scholars were unable to answer my questions.
>
>Scholar: I will try my best
>
>
>Young man: I have three questions.
>
>
>
>1.Does GOD exist? If so show me His shape?
>
>2.What is takdir? (Fate)
>
>3.If shaytan (devil) is created from fire, then why will he be thrown into the hell fire in the end?
>
>
>It certainly will not hurt him at all, since shaytan (devil) and hell were both created from fire....
>

>
>Suddenly the scholar slapped the young mans face very hard.
>
>
>Young man : Why are you getting angry at me?
