The seduction of the devil

 While a dervishes was performing ablutions, a great dervishes came there.  "What are you doing?" He asked.  The first elder said, "I am performing ablution."  "Why are you doing ablution?"  "To pray."  "Whose prayer?"


 He said, "By Allah."  "Where is Allah?" He says.


 Then this dervishes said, "I have come to your village for the first time. Show me where Allah is."  He says, "I have not seen Allah. Where is Allah?"


 Darwish said, "Then how did you believe in Allah?"  Says the Holy Prophet.  The dervishes said, "Who is Allah?"  "


 He says that Allah is the Creator of everything, and He knows everything.  And everything is subject to it.



 Darwish said that Satan is not subject to him.  "Yes, some things are not subordinate," he says.


 The dervishes who came in this way created great malice and doubt in the heart of this man.  Then Darwish said that in fact there is no God but all this business is going on automatically.



 At last the man turned to his sheikh, and a splash of water came to him, and at the same time a voice came, saying to him, "I have believed in God without argument."



 So the dervishes began to say, your sheikh is perfect, so you have survived today, my name is Iblis and I have been misleading the philosopher.



 So the point is that you, without argument, believe in God and, don't ask for any proof, and don't ask for an explanation ...



 You say that He is Allah, He is the Mighty and we believe in Him, even if He gives us things, then we are accepted, and even if we take things, we are still accepted, whether He laughs or weeps.  We believe in it in all circumstances ...
