A man went to a barber shop to have his hair and his beard cut as
always. He started to have a good conversation with the barber who
attended him. They talked about so many things and various subjects.
Suddenly, they touched the subject of ALLAH. The barber said :
"Look man, I don't believe that ALLAH exists as you say so."
"Why do you say that?" Asked the client.
Well, it's so easy, you just have to go out in the street to realize
that ALLAH does not exist. Oh, tell me, if ALLAH existed, would there
be so many sick people? Would there be abandoned children? If ALLAH
existed, there would be no suffering nor pain. I can't think of a ALLAH
who permits all of these things." The client stopped for a moment
thinking but he didn't want to respond so as to prevent an argument.
The barber finished his job and the client went out of the shop. Just
after he left the barber shop he saw a man in the street with a long
hair and beard (it seems that it had been a long time since he had his
cut and he looked so untidy).
Then the client again entered the barber shop and he said to the barber : " Know what? Barbers do not exist."
"How come they don't exist?"-asked the barber. "Well I am here and I am
a barber." "No!" - the client exclaimed. "They don't exist because if
they did there would be no people with long hair and beard like that
man who walks in the street."
"Ah, barbers do exist, what happens is that people do not come to me."
"Exactly!"- affirmed the client. "That's the point. ALLAH does exist,
what happens is people don't go to Him and do not look for Him that's
why there's so much pain and suffering in the world."
