Do Barbers Exist?

A man went to a barbershop to have his hair cut and his beard trimmed. As the barber began to work, they began to have a good conversation.

They talked about so many things and various subjects. When they eventually touched on the subject of Allah,the barber said: "I don't believe that Allah exists."

"Why do you say that?"

asked the customer. "Well, you just have to go out in the street to realize that Allah doesn't exist. Tell me, if Allah exists, would there be so many sick people? Would there be abandoned children? If Allah existed, there would be neither suffering nor pain.

I can't imagine a loving Allah who would allow all of these things."
The customer thought for a moment, but didn't respond because he didn't want to start an argument.

The barber finished his job and the customer left the shop.

Just after he left the barbershop, he saw a man in the street with long, stringy, dirty hair and an untrimmed beard. He looked dirty and unkempt.

The customer turned back and entered the barber shop again and he said to the barber: "You know what? Barbers do not exist."

"How can you say that?" asked the surprised barber. "I am here, and i am a barber. And i just worked on you!"

"No!" the customer exclaimed. "Barbers don't exist because if they did, there would be no people with dirty long hair and untrimmed beards, like that man outside."

"Ah, but barbers do exist! That's what happens when people do not come to me."

"Exactly!" affirmed the customer. "That's the point! Allah, too, does exist! That's what happens when people do not go to him and don't look to him for help. That's why there's so much pain and suffering in the world."

brother even if they blame, i guess islam does not teach you to argue, it causes, to many evil things

Assalamualaikum

I dont agree with you at all.Islam not only teaches but also encourages us to argue as Allah says in the Quran :

Invite (mankind, O Muhammad SAW) to the Way of your Lord (i.e. Islâm) with wisdom (i.e. with the Divine Inspiration and the Qur'ân) and fair preaching, and argue with them in a way that is better. Truly, your Lord knows best who has gone astray from His Path, and He is the Best Aware of those who are guided. Surah: 16 Aya: 125

yes indeed brother, your right..but if those people keep arguing with you, even if you get them the proof, then i guess you have to stop , and move from that place..i just meant that..well, jasakallah khair

Agreed with you my sister. I'm now locked with one stubborn headed and arrogant person who refused to believe though I've presented all the proof to him. I consulted my sheikh what to do...his respond was "you are wasting your time with this person..."

Yea you are right there brother. I have tried with so many people, trying to convince them that islam is not a bad religion and trying to teach them the truth, but they just wont listen.. at first i tried and tried, i even got upset! Then i told mum, and she said the same thing, that im just wasting my time.. I guess the only thing we can do is pray that Allah opens their hearts.
