A nonbeliever to a Muslim scholar: why's your God showing off in Surah 55; I mean, was it necessary to remind us of His favours? The seemingly irked (Q&A) moderator interjected, but the scholar was like, let him.
In buttressing his point, the asker gave this anology; said, why should I be amazed if Bill Gates gives me $1? The scholar was like: shouldn't the question be, why should Bill Gates give you a Dollar?
And because of the scholar's accommodating spirit, it became an intellectual discussion; the question so logically handled by the scholar that the asker was eventually ready to make the Sahada. That's what happens when a seeker's sincere questioning meets tolerance.
Swear down, if that were me asking an average Gambian preacher that kinda question, I'd be condemned to hell straight away, like: Subhanallah, brother you've lost your soul. I can't help you.
So by their scarecrow-like preaching, ask them how many converts they've to their credit and the answer is zero, except those non-Muslim friends and spouses of ours that we were able to convince by our own efforts - you know, just taken to the Masjid to render the intention official by reading the Kalima aloud.
