Columbus & the Egg

Columbus & the Egg






One day Columbus was at a dinner which
a Spanish gentleman had given in his honor,
and several persons were present who were
jealous of the great admiral's success.
They were proud, conceited fellows,
and they very soon began to try
to make Columbus uncomfortable.







"You have discovered strange lands beyond the seas,"
they said, "but what of that? We do not see why there
should be so much said about it.
Anybody can sail across the ocean - and anybody
can coast along the islands on the other side,
just as you have done. It is the simplest thing in the world."


Columbus made no answer - but after a while he took an egg
from a dish and said to the company:

"Who among you, gentlemen, can make this egg stand on end?"



One by one those at the table tried the experiment.
When the egg had gone entirely around
and none had succeeded, all said that it could not be done.


Then Columbus took the egg and struck its small
end gently upon the table so as to break the shell a little.
After that there was no trouble in making it stand upright.

"Gentlemen," said he, "what is easier than to do
this which you said was impossible? It is the simplest
thing in the world. Anybody can do it - AFTER he has been shown how!''

I hope you like it

Correct

Columbus was correct in all he said to his company

and that draw my attention to an example most better than the comparison being made by our friend columpus

look dear sister Ameera to what Allmighty Allah said in the holy Quran

Say : Is there of your partners ( whom ye ascribe unto Allah ) one that produceth

Creation and then reproduceth it? Say : Allah produceth creation , then reproduceth it . How then , are ye misled!


{قُلْ هَلْ مِن شُرَكَآئِكُم مَّن يَبْدَأُ الْخَلْقَ ثُمَّ يُعِيدُهُ قُلِ اللّهُ يَبْدَأُ الْخَلْقَ ثُمَّ يُعِيدُهُ فَأَنَّى تُؤْفَكُونَ }يونس34


who can start creation after Allah

who

Nobody at all

Subhan Allah the most wise the most Knower

They said : Be glorified! We have no knowledge saving that which

Thou hast taught us . Lo! Thou , only Thou , art the Knower , the Wise .
