this story has reached to my e mail and id like to tell it to you

THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST EXPLANATIONS OF WHY ALLAH ALLOWS PAIN

AND SUFFERING THAT I HAVE SEEN:
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."
