There was once a man who was an enemy to
Islam. He had three famous questions that no
person could answer. No Islamic scholar in
Baghdad could answer his three
questions...thu s he made fun of Islam in public.
He constantly ridiculed Islam and the Muslims.
One day a small boy, who`s age was 10, came
along and heard the man yelling and screaming
at Muslims in the street. He was challenging
people openly to answer the three questions.
The boy stood quietly and watched. He then
decided that he would challenge the man. He
walked up and told the man, "I will accept your
challenge".
The man laughed at the boy and ridiculed the
Muslims even more by saying, "A ten year old
boy challenges me. Is this all you people have
to offer!"
But the boy patiently reiterated his stance. He
would challenge the man, and with Allah`s help
and guidance, he would put this to an end. The
man finally accepted.
The entire city gathered around a small "hill"
where open addresses were usually made. The
man climbed to the top, and in a loud voice
asked his first question.
"What is your God doing right now?"
The small boy thought for a little while and then
told the man to climb down the hill and to allow
him to go up in order to address the question.
The man says "What? You want me to come
down?"
The boy says, "Yes. I need to reply, right?"
The man made his way down and the small boy,
age 10, with his little feet made his way up.
This small child`s reply was "Oh Allah
Almighty! You be my witness in front of all
these people. You have just willed that a Kafir
be brought down to a low level, and that a
Muslim be brought to a high level!"
The crowd cheered and screamed
"Takbir"...."Al lah-hu-akbar!!! "
The man was humiliated, but he boldly asked
his Second question... "What existed before
your God?"
The small child thought and thought.
Then he asked the man to count backwards.
"Count from 10 backwards."
The man counted..."10, 9 ,8 , 7 , 6, 5, 4, 3, 2,
1,0"
The boy asked, "What comes before 0 ?"
The man: "I don`t know...nothing. "
The boy: "Exactly. Nothing was before Allah, for
He is eternal and absolute."
The crowd cheered again...."Takbi r!"...."Allah-
hu-akbar!!!!"
The man, now completely frustrated, asked his
final question. "In which direction is your Allah
facing?"
The boy thought and thought.
He then asked for a candle. A candle was
brought to him. The blessed child handed it to
the man and asked him to light it.
The man did so and remarked, "What is this
supposed to prove?"
The young boy asked, "In which direction is
light from the candle going?"
The man responded, "It is going in all
directions."
The boy: "You have answered your own
question. Allah`s light (noor) goes in all
directions. He is everywhere. There is no where
that He cannot be found.
"The crowd cheered again...."Takbi r!"...."Allah-
hu-akbar!!!"
The man was so impressed and so moved by
the boy`s knowledge and spirituality, that he
embraced Islam and became a student of the
young boy.
So ended the debate.
Who was the young boy?
The young boy was one of our leaders and one
of the greatest scholars, Imam Abu Hanîfa (May
Allah bless him)
