100%

My brother Amir was playing video games, and I told, "You can play video games and learn some Qur'an right?" He replied, "Yea, I can do that." So I decided that I would go over what Surah al-Ikhlas "means" it's one thing to teach the children to memorize the Qur'an in `arabi, it's a whole nother thing to let them know what in the world it is that they are saying.

So.. to make a long story short, I got to the 2nd verse, and Amir didn't understand what I meant by Allah is absolute, so then I said, "Hmm, that He's complete." My older brother was sitting with us, and he was listening to me talk to Amir. I looked at him and I said, "How do I explain to a 7 year old that Allah is absolute?" Then my older brother told him, "Amir! Allah is 100%!!!" -WIDE SMILES- Then he continues, "Amir! Allah is a puzzle that is missing NO pieces!" -ANOTHER WIDE SMILE- I loved it, and I believe Amir understood it, it was awesome.

Then he continued, "What would the trinity be then?...Jesus is the third of the puzzle, the father made the puzzle, and the holy ghost, uh?" It's true! subHan Allah, it really makes absolutely no sense even when put into practical terms. Praise Allah, for Islam, Allah is complete, and there is only 1 God, like 100%, like a completed puzzle. -smiles- Praise Allah always.
