What is not eternal, must perish

This section sees some arguments that assume God to be not powerful. This is a false assumption and any other assumption that does not keep this assumption in mind is totally false.

The above is a small rule and sufficient to throw away all the arguments in this section. However, some light will be shed on them for the sake of Hindu readers.

The writer argues that if the heaven and hell are created, then they must perish. I wonder where this rule has been brought by the writer. Has he spoken to God or does he have some rule-book which no one else has ever seen? The writer lived in a time when it was believed by the scientists that the earth would stay forever. This theory has been recently challenged by American scientists. The writer obviously does not know about these matters and during his time, he would also have believed in what everyone else believed unless he had some additional secret book from God other than Vedas. This is unlikely! His statement for his time and for today is completely baseless without supported by any scientific fact.

The writer has asked the question about the women in paradise as to where they came from. They are not worldly women and have been created by God for heaven.

The writer makes a silly statement that where there are women, there cannot be perpetual happiness. This is a very sexist statement!

The women of this world are not to be compared to the women of paradise!

The writer then makes fun of the idea that God created Adam with His own two hands. the writer hasn't provided the reference for that but it will be explained. 112th chapter of the Quran has laid down the criteria and every description of God should be judged by that criteria. There is none like God means that if He has hands, they cannot be pictured or imagined by any human being. Any such statement must be judged by the 112th chapter of the Quran. It is the touchstone of theology.

The writer says that Satan was correct to say that he was better than Adam. This is a wierd comment but it explains the purpose behind this book of his. It is perhaps, an attempt to please his god, Satan whom he considers greater than himself.

The writer blames God for tempting Satan. This further shows his love for Satan that he goes and abuses God for the sake of Satan. Satan had a free will which he followed and acted upon his own will. He was not forced to do anything by anyone. Infact, God even listened to his prayers and granted him time till the day of judgment.
