INTRODUCTION

You may have read so many books before this one reached your hand, and you may claim that you have a lot of respectable knowledge that qualified you to possess your current personality. However, as you get older, you will be faced by many strange questions that occupy your mind importunately and you will find yourself mystified as long as you are unable to find the curative answers. If you yearn to know these puzzling questions, you have to ask an aged person, and if he wanted you to answer them, then you have to read this book.

In this world, we meet many different ideologies in different localities, and even in the same locality; which necessitates performing dialogues in civilized ways. The aim of these dialogues is to discuss all the misconceptions and hence to narrow the gap of conflict especially when every party confirms to be the right, which means, on the other hand, that all other parties are wrong. In absence of such dialogues, as a civilized means of rapprochement, many disputes will flare up, and many innocent people will fall victims to it. Unfortunately, some parties refuse the solution of performing dialogues with others, but this should not hinder the way of those who search for the truth.

To claim that you are right is good, but to refuse to debate with others is really a confusing puzzle. Moreover, to claim that you are right is nice, but to be stingy or lazy to enlighten others is something shameful. In other words, all parties should accept any invitation directed towards them, and they have the right to refute any criticism against their beliefs by introducing the persuasive proofs they have. But those who refuse to listen and hate others to discuss anything with them, may be due to previous unfruitful attempts, should be invited once and more again as long as there are followers of existent conflicting faiths. Such people who usually turn away from any dialogue are better to be likened to a group of frightened zebras fleeing from a lion. Absolute refusal to debate or to be advised has only one meaning, that is fear of collapse of their fragile faith in front of the power of cogency. Such people usually put their fingers into their ears whenever they are invited to be talked with; and they will lose so much as long as they are headstrong.

This book is basically directed towards all people who are aware of the importance of reasoning and respect the prestige of rationalism, knowing that being affected by personal passions and influenced by any misguiding emotions or relying on the sense of doubt will lead to an inevitable loss. In this book we will explore the most troublemaking subjects and deal with them rationally.

Before you begin to read, you should know an important note in order to gain the utmost benefit from this book, that is you have to be neutral in front of the analysis you will face. Therefore, I invite the readers, who may feel opposition between the ideology in this book and theirs, to put their personal emotions and beliefs aside till they finish reading, then they can rebound to them, do their own analysis and finally decide which one to embrace henceforward. Many other readers will not find any difficulty to follow reading in succession. This note is well known for us in our practical life, for example, a fishmonger, during his work, is usually malodorous, nevertheless he never thinks of putting perfume except after finishing his workday, taking off his clothes and washing. He knows well that the two cannot coexist simultaneously, and that he must give up one of them to have the other. A few drops of perfume will make him a nice fragrant man if he already took his clothes off, however, a bottle of perfume sprayed over his malodorous clothes will be useless.

My second request is to read the book successively, as many subjects are based on other preceding ones. The last section of the book is alphabetically designed from A - to - Z, and it should be read after you assimilate the preceding sections. Finally, I offer my sincere wishes for all the readers to find something useful in this book which was written for nothing but to expose some hidden facts and to correct many worldwide misconceptions.
