Arguments For The Existence Of God
First Question came to our mind when we start studying about Islam is that WHO is God.? Or any God be existent in this universe .? God is creator of whole Universe. According to the Islamic statement of witness, or shahada, “There is no god but Allah”. Muslims believe he created the world in six days. And it is He who created the heavens and the Earth in six days - and His Throne had been upon water (Hood, 11: 7 of the Holy Quran).“God sent prophets such as Noah, Abraham, Moses, David, Jesus, and lastly Muhammad(SAW), who called people to worship only him, rejecting idolatry and polytheism.Arguments for existence of God come in many different forms; some draw on history, some on science, some on personal experience, and some on philosophy.Some arguments are given below for the existence of God:
Instinctive evidence
Al-Sheikh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen said: “The instinctive evidence that God exists is the strongest of all evidence for those who are not led astray by the devils”. Everybody feel deep inside that there is a creator of him which he needs all the time .when person face hard time he turns himself toward supreme power to seek help, guidance from God. When we look at the things around us, creator of that thing came in our mind …..in same way when we look towards the Sun, the Earth, the Moon, the innumerable Stars, the Air, the Water, the Plants and Trees and all animals----creator of all these things came in our mind who is Allah (lord of world).we (Muslim) believe on existence of god by fitrah. Our nature is much like a clear mirror which reflects everything in front of it.
QURAN
Quran is the biggest prove of existence of God because Quran is book of God and everything in Quran about universe is truth so it mean author of that book is creator of universe who know everything about universe that’s how it prove that God exists.(Their Messengers said: “What! Can there be a doubt about Allah, the Creator of the heavens and the earth? He calls you (to Monotheism and to be obedient to Allah) that He may forgive you of your sins and give you respite for a term appointed.” They said: “You are no more than human beings like us! You wish to turn us away from what our fathers used to worship. Then bring us a clear authority i.e. a clear proof of what you say).)[Surat Ibrahim, ayah 10]Here are some Ayat on Quran which prove that God exist :“I have created the jinn and humankind only for My worship.” Quran is full of evidence of existence of God. Quran have two parts. First part involve the scientific evidence of existence of God. And second part involve which we have to follow for happy life. Story of life of planet and human being told in Quran had opened the eye of many scientist.
Tangible evidence
This refer to the things that exist in universe. There are many things In universe which exist like Trees, Rocks, Animals, River, Mountain etc. If it is asked: who created them? is taking care of them? The answer is that if it came into being by accident with no cause that is first possibility. There is a second possibility which is that they created themselves and taking care themselves. There is also third possibility that someone created them and taking care of them. If we look at these possibilities, we find that first two possibilities are impossible then third possibility is correct. Which is that there is creator who created them and taking care of them and that creator is Allah. God said in Quran “Were they created by nothing? Or were they themselves the creators? Or did they create the heavens and the earth? Nay, but they have no firm Belief.”
