Proof of the Existence of God the Creator (Glorious & Exalted)
Proof of the Existence of God the Creator (Glorious & Exalted)
Faith in the Existence of Allah (Mighty & Majestic) is indicated by all evidence: rational, intuitive, observational, scriptural, and otherwise, from all the proof and testimony of modern scientific discoveries, which confirm the Existence of this Creator God, without leaving room for the mind to deny His Existence (Glorious & Sublime).
Thus, no one can continue to deny the Existence of Allah (Mighty & Majestic), except out of arrogance and blind following of vain desires. No reasonable person could claim that this universe was created or came about by accident or that it came into being without someone to create it, for that is illogical by the consensus of all rational beings.[1]
A Summary of Proof for the Existence of God the Creator
Logical Proof
We see this universe in existence, and within it things happen that no one in creation has the power to cause, such as the existence of the universe, the heavens and the earth, the stars therein, the mountains, the rivers, the trees, sentient beings (humans) and animals, and more…
We wonder: Where did all of this come from?
Did it occur spontaneously?
Did it happen without anyone to cause it?
Did the universe make itself?
These are three possibilities, but all of them are wrong, so we are only left with the fourth—which we have not yet mentioned—which is the truth.
As for occurring spontaneously, this option is rejected by reality, because the likes of such great creatures could not have been made spontaneously, for every effect must leave a trace of its owner.
The existence of these great creatures with this magnificent, regular order, which is not in conflict or disarray, could not be haphazard, because the reality—what actually happens spontaneously—is that random changes are not ordered; they are subject to chance.
As for this universe making itself, the impossibility of such an option is obvious and self-evident, because this existence was nothing before it was anything; in fact, it was a void, and a void cannot produce something nonexistent.
As for the universe coming into existence without anything to cause it, that would be like saying that it came into being spontaneously, which as noted previously is impossible.
All that is left to say is the truth—the fourth option: This existence came into being by a Creator, Allah (Mighty & Majestic), as in the Saying of Allah Most High,
{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.}
[Al-Toor 52: 35-36]
Therefore, this universe is a rational indication of the Existence of Allah (Glorious & Exalted).[2]
