Exemplary Dialogue to Change the Stance

How Did the Human Race Appear?
God made Adam and Eve and they had children, and so was all mankind made OR from monkeys. It's choice, not (imposition) imposing.

Changing Habit Needs a Firm and Decisive Will
It has been reported that al‐Ma'moun [the Abbasid Caliph] was suffering from the habit of devouring (eating) dust. Conventional remedies were doomed to failure. In a gathering, people were talking about al‐Ma'moun's habit and how he could not give it up. Among those present was a dervish who shouted that he had the remedy for al‐Ma'moun's habit. The people turned their eyes in his direction and asked him as to what could this magic potion be. He answered, "A firm will of the sort kings are capable of." When the story of the dervish reached al‐Ma'moun, he said that the man was right and took a decision to give the habit up completely and forthwith.

Bahlool Mosque

Fazl bin Rabi' had a mosque constructed in Baghdad. It was decided to place a plaque on its door. The people asked Fazl what should be written on it. Bahlool also happened to be present. He asked Fazl, “Who did you make the mosque for?”

Fazl replied, “For Allah.”

Bahlool said, “If you made it for Allah, then don't inscribe your name on the plaque.”

Fazl angrily said, “Why shouldn't I have my name inscribed on the tablet? People have to know who the maker of the mosque is!”

“Then have it inscribed that the maker of this mosque is Bahlool.”

“I certainly will not have that written!”
“If you made this mosque for fame and self-show then you have lost your reward.”
Fazl became speechless at Bahlool's words. He said, “Whatever Bahlool says, have that inscribed.”
This time Bahlool said, “Have a verse from the Sacred Qur'an inscribed on the door of the mosque.”
