Insight of a Muslim Judge

Recommended Posts

A man came to Iyas Ibn Mu'awiyah, a Muslim judge famous for his wisdom and the following conversation took place between them:

 

Man: What is the Islamic ruling regarding wine?

 

Judge: It is Haram (Forbidden).

 

Man: How about water?

 

Judge: It is Halal (Permissible).

 

Man: How about dates and grapes?

 

Judge: They are Halal.

 

Man: Why is it that all these ingredients are halal, and yet when you combine them, they become haram?

 

The judge looked at the man and said: If I hit you with this handful of dirt, do you think it would hurt you?

 

Man: It would not.

 

Judge: How about if I hit you with this handful of straw?

 

Man: It would not hurt me.

 

Judge: How about a handful of water?

 

Man: It surely would not hurt me.

 

Judge: How about if I MIX them, and let them DRY to become a BRICK, and then hit you with it, would it hurt you?

 

Man: It would hurt me and might even kill me!

 

Judge: The same reasoning applies to what you asked me!!

We can get over being poor, but it takes longer to get over being ignorant.
