In verse No.

In verse No.22, God says: “ He it is Who enabled you to traverse through land and sea; so that ye even board ships;- they sail with them with a favorable wind, and they rejoice thereat; then comes a stormy wind and the waves come to them from all sides, and they think they are being overwhelmed: they cry unto Allah, sincerely offering (their) duty unto Him saying, “If thou dost deliver us from this, we shall truly show our gratitude!

” F In the dictionary of Quran you find all verses that talk about traveling by sea on the same page. Most of them talk about monotheism in one way or another. S I will come back to the subject of the Quran index at another time, but now I have some inquiries. F Go ahead. Ask about everything you like, because the key to knowledge is inquiry. S Now, I have two questions; First: Has the Quran presented any evidence other than the innate reasoning to proof the existence of God?

Second: How does the Quran argue with the disbelievers? And a third question has just jumped into my mind, no... no, two questions are enough for me now. F No, No, son. Don’t leave any queries about religion hidden in your mind without seeking answers. Let it out. S But, Dad, there are so many questions, some I have heard from my friends, and some from my teachers in school, those who don’t believe in God.

I also read some of them here and there in different books and magazines, or I heard them in the media, and much more which raise suspicions about different aspects of the religion and, frankly, can shake the faith. F That’s why I encourage you to ask questions and keep those queries outspoken without any hesitation, shame or fear. S But, Dad, I heard that the habit of asking many questions is not recommended, and God had prohibited this habit in the Quran.

Haven’t you heard of this verse: “ O ye who believe! Ask not questions about things which, if made plain to you, may cause you trouble .” Moreover, there was the story of the Cow and the people of Israel and how they were put to the test and stricken because they were importunate with queries. F Listen to me, son. This is a completely different subject.

Queries are forbidden if they cause harm; queries which are not about the ideology of the religion, but are details that would be of no help to anyone, if not damaging. An example of that is the story of the cow in Surah of al- Baqarah. God asked the people of Israel to sacrifice a cow.
