Eva did a dramatic clap then relaxed on her seat. "You girls are really something but today I have decided to clear all my doubts so I need to still ask something, hope you don't mind?"

"We don't" Nadira replied.

"Eva are you crazy? You're not even tackling them! I called you here to help out but it turns out you're flowing with them! How would we win now?"

"KayKay grow up, its not about winning, its about knowing and I realized I have little knowledge so I want to get all that before leaving here today."

"But Eva!"

"KayKay just be quiet."

Katie frowned then folded her arms. "Let's hear your stupid question then."

"My question is you have said a lot about the Quran, how was it revealed?"

"By inspiration, the verses follow an event and they were revealed by an angel who gives the prophet the message of God, after this inspiration occurs, he knows the words of Allah, the angel is angel Gabriel, Jibreel in the Quran."

"That's cool, another question is how do I believe that God truly is the One who sent the message, its hard, all these used to be like some sort of old traditional made up story to me...but you girls are driving me nuts with all your information that seems totally real."

"Okay, I'll answer that." Umaiza smiled. " Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, says
(interpretation of the meaning):
"Blessed is He in Whose Hand is the
dominion, and He is Able to do all things.
Who has created death and life, that He may
test you which of you is best in deed. And
He is the All-Mighty, the Oft-Forgiving;
Who has created the seven heavens one
above another, you can see no fault in the
creations of the Most Beneficent. Then look
again: 'Can you see any rifts?'"
[al-Mulk 67:1-3]"

"Thanks for asking Eva, if you read the Quran, you yourself will know that Allah is speaking to you! He mentioned His attributes in it, so there will be no doubt...but early youth is
the age at which a person is more vulnerable to intellectual confusion and uncertainty
about belief. It seems that this matter may
be due to some physiological causes; probably one day scientific studies will be able to research this issue, but until then we may attribute this phenomenon to human
nature, as it mostly results from curiosity and attraction to anything that is strange or
new."

"Hello! My parents are atheists, what did you expect from me? That I would be the black sheep."

"Atheism is a new idea for humanity, or
it is an individual inclination and a stage that
a person may go through; it appears
somewhat glamorous because it is
something that makes a person stand out
and be different from other people. It is as if
the one who embraces it is saying, "I am the
only one who broke through the chains to
which you are accustomed, and that you
grew up believing and affirming." But
regardless of its origin, regardless of how
this new idea may sound, and regardless of
the uniqueness of his new stance by which
he wants to stand out, he is like the man
who urinated in the mosque and was asked
about that, and he said: "I wanted to be
known, even if it is for something bad"

"Hmmmm!" Eva looked dazed.

" It seems that this poor man does not know
or does not realize that animals are more
rational than he is, because we find that it is
as if they believe in cause and effect and
they know that any deed must inevitably
have a doer. Allah, may He be glorified and
exalted, says (interpretation of the meaning):
"Have they not travelled through the land,
and have they hearts wherewith to
understand and ears wherewith to hear?
Verily, it is not the eyes that grow blind, but
it is the hearts which are in the chests that
grow blind"
[al-Hajj 22:46] ."
