EGG - PROOF THAT GOD EXISTS
Belief in Allah is extremely important in Islam. Sometimes when we are asked to prove the existence of God, we tend to get lostand not quite sure how to answer.
Imam Ja’fer as-Sadiq (as ) was the grandson of Imam Ali Ibnul Husein Ibne Abi Talib .
One day a man came to him and asked: O son of the Prophet ! is there a God?
Imam : Of course there is a God.
Man: But how can I be absolutely sure?
Imam : Make yourself comfortable and relax.
There was a small boy walking by with an egg in his hands. The Imam took the egg from him and hidit in his palms.
Imam (to the man): Tell me something. Is it possible to keep two different colours of liquid in onecontainer without any barrier and yet they don’t get mixed?
Man: Impossible.
The Imam showed him an egg and asked, “What’s this then? Who’s got this power to do this?” When theegg is hatched, you see a beautiful and a colourful bird coming out of the egg.
Have you seen anyone coming out ofthe egg or entering the egg to suggest that someone’s been inside the egg to paint the bird?
Man: No.
Imam : That is Allah. You recognise your Creator through His creations and His Might.
One day a man asked hazrat Ali (as): Is there a God?
Hazrat Ali (as): Of course there is.
Man: How do I know?
Hazrat Ali (as) pointed towards the footprints of a camel on the sandand asked, “What do these footprints tell you?”
Man: That a camel has gone past from here.
Imam : But did you see the camel passing by?
Man: No, but the footprints are good enough to indicate the passing of the camel from here.
Imam : So when you see the sun, moon, stars, trees, animals, etc. doesn’t your mind tell you that since all these things are there, there mustbe someone who has created them all? And that is your Creator, Allah.
Imam Muhammad al-Baquir (as) was the great grandson of hazrat Ali Ibne Abi Talib ( ).
One day a man came to him and asked him a very interesting question.
Man: Please tell me if how much power has Allah given to us human beings? Is it that He has given us absolute power, no power at all or limited power?
Imam : Please stand up. (The man stands up). Now keep your one foot in the air. (He does that).
Imam : Now keep your other foot in air.
Man: I cannot do that. I will fall down.
Imam : Allah has given you this much power. You are not given the complete power and you are notmade powerless either.
