Asalaamu Alaikum,

An atheist wanted to debate the Muslims and so Abu Hanifah (RA) was chosen for the job. They agreed a time and place, and when the day came, sure enough, the atheist was there in front of a crowd of peopel who had gathered to hear the debate. Imam Abu Hanifa (RA) however, was absent. They waited and waited and time passed until Imam Abu Hanifah (RA) finally arrived, very late. The athiest turned to him and said 'How dare you arrive so late?'

Imam Abu Hanifah (RA) apologised and said 'I was on my way over here but came across a forest I had never encountered before. I had to go in, but happened across a river that blocked my way. I got off my horse, looking for a way to cross when all of a sudden, a tree fell and began to cut itself of its own accord. Many more trees fell and also began to cut themselves, making planks of wood, which then assembled and formed a boat. I went onto the boat and it rowed itself across the river, after which I disembarked and came on way here, on foot. This is why i was late'.

The atheist looked at him incredulously and said 'You expect me to believe a forest that was never there before somehow appeared out of nowehere, that trees fell and formed a boat and rowed you all the way across all by themselves? Are you crazy?'

Imam Abu Hanifah (RA) 'You expect me to believe that this universe, this world, our bodies all appeared out of nowhere without a Creator? Are you crazy?'
