A building on Fire....What to save?
-
I saw this funny what if on a different forum...
You are in a burning building upstairs. There are 4 objects on a table.
1st object on the table Is the Bible;
2nd object Is Holy Quran;
3rd object is Torah;
4th object is a map to way out of building.
The amount to time given to choose is 5 minutes, however the rules are that you can only pick ONE (and only ONE) object. So of the 4 objects which one would you choose?

Greetings and Peace, all group
From a brain teaser perspective, I'd say pick the table. !

Yup, the map.
I can always find another Bible, Torah, and Qu'ran when I find my way out of the building.

lol
pick one and get 4 for free (y)LOL! Oh my goodness...what insight! Kind of the like the "Candle Problem."

I saw this on another forum and was shocked to see how many chose to save the holy books, But what took the cake is when a brother told me Allah would protect the Quran from burning. rotfl
wow

lol..
i read the candle problem on wiki..
couldn't get what they were doing..
i think they had too much time with candles when electricity weren't around back thenI had never seen it until a week ago when my office had a leadership class. Of course, I was one of the ones who didn't think to use the box, because initially the tacks were in the box which meant the box had a purpose. I found that odd because I am quick to "jimmy rig" something at home when I need to make a quick repair (duct tape, anyone?).
Anyhow, I found the problem very interesting as it provided insight as to how I think as a person...and I can apply it to my current situation of "re-evaluating" Islam.
With Peace,
Amina

Not going to answer because it is an obvious one for me, anyway.
But I will wonder why one will pick the Torah over the Bible. Should not the Bible contain Tanakh/Old Testament which then includes the Torah? Unless we're talking about Hebrew Torah here S
