The Shaykh himself was baffled by the question, it proved to be a silly one! Amidst the confusion, the second Muslim scholar who was an African, a young man in his early thirties moved toward the podium, patted the back of the elder Shaykh and said to him: Ma shaa Allah, Ya Akhi….You have done well. He quickly rescued the other Shaykh, and told the judge, the atheists and the audience that he wants to remind every one in the hall the theme of the debate ( which is no group must remain silent). We have not remained silent, he claimed. With his face full of perpetual smiles, he said, my dear audience and co-debaters, If I told you that every ball that you find in this room is mine, thereafter one of you saw a yellow ball, then he asked who owns the ball, would that question be sensible or logical? The audience shared some phrases that were incomprehensible. Then one among the atheism die-hards replied, no, it wouldn’t be a logical question. The Shaykh then asked the Professor, could you tell me why it would be an illogical question? ….hem..hem… because of the fact that it has previously been said that every ball belongs to you, and of course, the yellow ball Is also a ball. so automatically it also belongs to you. Thank you for the answer.And I am sorry for the digression but it was an important one because of the explanations I am about to make.
