According to superstitious Buddhist
         beliefs, the existence of the universe,
         human beings, death and rebirth are
         all uncontrolled processes. Those
         who believe in this irrational claim are
         spiritually unbalanced. They live in
         tension and discomfort that comes
         from the frightening idea that every-
         thing in the world is arbitrary. But
         Islam teaches that God controls every-
         thing that happens in the universe.
         Those who understand this trust God
         at every moment, living in the joyous
         comfort of His support and protection.
