My answer: So you mean as pain exists so as God? well, here pain is the cause of one's action (slap). So what about god? Is he also a consequence of any other action? If it is so, this god requires another god as an explanation (some "God" did something so that this god has been created - like someone slapped so that pain occurred). Then again the question comes how that the previous god created. Of course, this once again drops us into an infinite regress of gods. So your assumption of pain to relate with god is totally irrational.



Last night, did you dream that you will be

>Young Man: No.
>Scholar: Did you ever think that you will get a slap from me, today?

>Young Man: No.
>Scholar: That is takdir (fate)........


My answer: In the same logic, have you expected that I will refute your logic by sending mail to eShomabesh? if not, it is just your fate. You cannot ignore your fate! And it is also my fate that I am a disbeliever.
What can I do if I am predestined at the time of creation? I wish to ask you like Aroj Ali---"Suppose a man is destined to be condemned to Hell. Now will he not commit sins and crimes like burglary, robbery and murder commensurate with the punishment he will get? If he does, whose desire is at work here? His own desire or God’s desire? On the other hand, if his actions are pious rather than sinful will his predestined damnation turn into salvation? If it does not, is the significance of preaching merely temporal?" Takdir i botey !!!!

My hand that I used to slap you, what is
>it created from?

>Young Man: It is created from skin.
>Scholar: How about your face, what is it created from?
>
>Young Man: Skin.
>Scholar: How do you feel after I slapped you?
>
>Young Man: In pain.
>Scholar: Even though Shaitan (Devil) and also the hell were created from
>the fire, if Allah wants, insha-Allah (God willing), the hell will become
>a very painful place for Shaitan
>(Devil).

My Answer : Ha ha a !!! Again a very silly logic. Hand is not of made of skin only. It  is also consists of flesh and blood which eventually consists of smaller bio-molecule. Moreover a nervous system and brain is necessary to feel the pain. The absence of any of the component/organ will not cause to feel pain. So what about fire? Does it also have brain and nervous system too?
