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 God, the barber said: "I don't
believe that God exists."
"Why do you say that?" asked the customer.
"Well, you just have to go out in the street to realize that God
doesn't exist. Tell me, if God exists, would there be so many sick
people? Would there be abandoned children? If God existed, there would
be neither suffering nor pain. I can't imagine a loving God 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! " answered the barber. "What happens, is,
people do not come to me."
"Exactly!"- affirmed the customer. "That's the point! God, too, 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."
So Glorified is He and Exalted above all that they associate with Him, and in Whose Hands is the dominion of all things, and to Him you shall be returned.
(Sura Ya-Seen 36:83)

<Already posted before>
Wait thats one story stop being lazy brothers and sisters and bear with me on the second story P.s. ill try to shorten this one
An interested student of religions had 3 questions whom he figured religious scholars would figure out , his 3 questions were
If God exist , show me where he is?
What is Fate(Takdir)?
If the devil exist and is made from fire how can Allah swt make him suffer in fire?
So the young man asked the christian scholars they couldnt answer his questions properly so he asked a jewish scholar he couldnt answer his question properly, so his father suggested he ask a Muslim scholar. So the boy goes to a muslim scholar and ask him can you answer my 3 questions? The Scholar said Inshallah i will answer all 3 questions. So the boy said Yah arright lets go at it so he asked the 3 questions to the scholar and the scholar smiled. Then THE SCHOLAR SLAPPED HIM RIGHT ACROSS THE FACE . And the young man said why did you do that for? the scholar told him what did you feel , the young man said pain, The scholar said show me what pain looks like!!! then the scholar said did you know 10 mins ago that i was going to slap you? Did you have a dream that i was going to slap you? the young man said no ,,, the scholar replied thats fate! then the scholar said you see what my hand is made of Skin, your face is made of Skin. If Allah swt wanted to make the devil suffer by fire whom whats he made from , Then inshallah he will definately feel the punishment
