A Muslim dies and goes to heaven.
He’s stopped at the Pearly Gates by St Peter who says, “Sorry, but we don’t allow Muslims into Heaven.”
“What?” Replies the Muslim, “and Why Not?”
“Well, we just don’t.”
The Muslim carries on until St Peter gets fed up and says, “have you ever done anything good in your life?”
“Yeah, the other day a lady stopped me on the street collecting for a children’s charity so I gave her £10. Last week I donated £10 to the Cancer Society and two weeks ago a tramp asked me if I could spare any money, I gave him £10 also”.
“Alright then” says St Peter, “let me go and have a word with God”.
Five minutes later St Peter returns and says to the Muslim.
“Listen, I’ve spoken with God and he agrees with me. Here’s your £30 back, now f**k off”.
You’re bad but I like it!
Shocking! 🙂
I read this this morning, and I’ve read it again now that the cricket has finished. Sorry, Sipu, but I just can’t see the joke. Perhaps someone can tell me why it’s funny? 🙄
Sure, no problem. It is funny because it is ironical. God is supposed to be all loving and all forgiving. St Peter, his servant in the eyes of Christian believers, is supposed to do his bidding. Christ of course is the son of God, but is also God himself as defined by the Holy Trinity. Now, muslims, do not believe in this Christian version of the deity. So it is odd that a muslim would end up at the Pearly Gates to be confronted by St Peter. By definition it would mean that the Muslim had got it wrong, since if the Islamic version was correct, St Peter would not be there at all. That means that the Muslim is a sinner in the eyes of Christ. However, according to Christ’s teachings, God welcomes back into his fold the prodigal who seeks forgiveness. But, as a reflection of the majority of mankind’s attitudes towards Islam and Muslims, not even God can face having a Muslim in heaven. Simple really, when you apply yourself.
