A CRITIQUE OF PROOFS OF DIVINITY IN THE SYSTEM OF IBN AR RUSHD 5
UND-LUSI: 6
Ibn Ar Rushd{Averroaes} has made several arguments to shew that the PROOFS for the 7
Divine Existence presented by a number of Orthodox and Unorthodox sects in Islam are incorrect 8
and wrong. 9
How ever in this article , the arguments or proofs presented by Ibn Ar Rushd himself are examined 10
a, analysed, refuted as according to the INCONSISTENT philosophical system of the so called 11
Philosopher namely Ibn Ar Rushd Al Undulusi. 12
It may be noted that Ibn Ar Rushd follows the principles of Atheism , though he claims to be a 13
believer in Deity. Either he is ignorant of the consequences of his system and arguments or he 14
deliberately do not mention them, but deliberately conceal them so that those who agree with him 15
in these may reach to the result i.e denial of the Existence Of Deity. In this work it is not tried to 16
refute Ibn Ar Rushds argument against proofs Asharites and Maturidites in Supprt of Divine 17
Existence. But it is attempted to prove that Arguments for Divine Existence presented by Ibn Ar 18
Rushd {Averroes} is in correct according to his own principles of his system of philosophy. 19
It may be noted that Deity is impossible to be proved in his system, that is why he did not analyzed 20
his own arguments/proofs critically. This provided a chance to others to analyze his provided 21
proofs. 22
First Argument Of Ibn Ar Rushd about The Existence Of Deity [Divine Existence=DE] 23
The first argument is similar to the argument of Design. This argument is somewhat analogous to 24
the Intelligent Design Theory proposed to combat Evolution Theories in The science of biology. 25
Evolutionist are afraid that that if it is accepted then the Intelligent Designist shall argue that A 26
DESIGN implieth a Designer , by using Ibn Ar Rushs argument of Induciveness. Designist like Ibn Ar 27
Rushd do not believe in the possibility of Co-incidence .On the other hand Evolutionists believe in 28
some what controlled Co-incidence. Whether this Theory of Rational Design or Intelligent Design is 29
correct or not , and whether it can give tough time to the theories of Evolutions or not, is not the 30
issue. The issue is that whether a Design whether Rational (Intelligent) or Not implies a Designer or 31
not. The problem may be simplified as follow:- Where a Design implies a Designer or not. 32
In Ibn Ar Rushds system it not only does not but it cannot imply. 33
Returning back to CONDUCIVENESS proposed by Ibn Ar Rushd , Ibn Ar Rushd argues that 34
Conduciveness implies an Intending Agent, which is the Deity. But the system which he is using 35
does not and cannot accept this Implication. 36
The Argument 37
All Existing Things Exist for a Purpose. 38
All Existing Things are conducive to human beings. 39
Page | 3
3
This CONDUCIVENESS is related to a Rational Intending Existing Suppositum which is the Agent 40
Of this CONDUCIVENESS i.e The Conduciveness of All Thing to Human Beings. 41
This CONDUCIVENESS is not a COINCIDENCE since Coincidence is Impossible. 42
Any corruption in the Conduciveness implies the destruction of human beings. 43
This argument is not according to the System Of Ibn Ar Rushd, as it shall be seen below:- 44
EXAMPLE:- 45
If a person sees a stone on earth and finds it conducive to be sat on , he realizes that this stone is 46
made in this form by some one who is an intelligent / rational Intending Agent. But if the person 47
does not see it conducive to any thing he shall not ascribe it to any Intending rational Agent. 48
ANALYSIS. 49
It appears that this Purpose is this Conduciveness stated above. 50
If a thing is conducive to any other thing then Conduciveness (to the second thing ) is the 51
Attribute of the first . 52
In other words A THING IS CONDUCIVE TO ANOTHER THING IF AND ONLY IF 53
CONDUCIVENESS TO THE LATTER THING IS THE ATTRIBUTE OF THE 54
FIRST THING . 55
This proves that if any one of the two cease to exist this conduciveness stated above also ceases 56
exist. 57
Ibn Ar Rushd thinks that a minimum change in the prime Conduciveness implies the perfect 58
destruction of the latter thing. 59
REMARKS: 60
Ibn Ar Rushd did not criticize this argument as he did in regard to the arguments of Orthodox and 61
Unorthodox systems of Islam. 62
If he had done so he would have found that his own system of arguments makes this argument 63
invalid and incorrect. 64
He cannot defend this argument with out damaging his own system. 65
He cannot use the system of other sects to refute these objections since he does not believe in 66
them. 67
COMMENT: 68

In this article it is attempted to prove that this ALLEGED and SO CALLED proof is inconsistent to his 69
system as well as incorrect and invalid. 70
A)REFUTATION OF FIRST ATTEMTED PROOF OF RUSHDIAN DEITY : 71
A,1) FIRST DISCUSSION ON FIRST ARGUMENT. 72
According to the dogmas of Ibn Ar Rushd the otherwise of any event is IMPOSSIBLE. For example if 73
a Body B is moving from point A to point C in nature SAY EVENT E1 then it is Immpossible in 74
Rushdian system that it moves from C to A say event E. The reason for the 75
ABSURDITY/IMPOSSIBILITY of the event is as follow:- 76
If Event E2 occurs then it implies the Annihilation of Divine Wisdom. Annihilation Of Divine 77
Wisdom is Impossible. One that implies an Impossible is itself Impossible. Therefore event E2 is 78
Impossible. 79
Now if event two is Impossible it is impossible to be in Divine Power since Divine Power is Over 80
Possibilities ONLY 81
IF a thing is Not in Divine Power and is IMPOSSIBLE to be In Divine Power then It is also 82
Impossible to be Intended[Willed]by Divine Intention[Will]. On similar reasoning it can be proved 83
that in the Rushdian system the Non Occurance of Event E1 is also imposible. Suppose that the 84
Event E1 did occur at time .At time its Non Occurrence was Impossible There fore it was 85
Impossible to be in Divine Power and Impossible to be Intended by Deity at time . . 86
SINCE the Non Occurance of Event E1 implies the Annihilation of the Divine Wisdom 87
, and Annhilation of Divine Wisdom is impossible in Rushdian System. 88
So it is not in Divine Power , not to occur event E1, and not possible to 89
Not to do E1 by Divine Intention (Will). 90
Now if Deity has no alternative to choose , and the Deity cannot NOT DO an act 91
then there is no Divine Intention and no Divine Will.(Deity CEASETH to be a Free 92
Agent, which implieth that Deity Ceaseth to be the Absolute Free Agent with an 93
Absolute Free Intention /Will. Also Deity Ceaseth to be an Omnipotent Agent.) The act of doing E1 is 94
therefore certainly not a Voluntary act of Deity. If not a voluntary act then an 95
unvoluntary act. If an unvaluntary act then an Immanent Unvoluntary act. 96
If so then this argument of Ibn Ar Rushd fails to hold. 97
This shews that this attempted proof of Ibn Ar Rushd is not only inconsistent in his Philosophical system 98
but it is incorrect since Ibn Ar Rushd is unable to explain or to define the meaning of Divine 99
Intention/Will. What sort of will/intention is in the mind of Ibn Ar Rushd if the Per se Subsistent 100
Suppositum to which the Intention/Will is ascribed has no alternative to choose , not even the Suppositum 101
is sufficiently free for not to do . This Implies that Deity is an Intention-less[Will-less] Existing 102
Suppositum, and the event E1 is occurred with out being intended and with out being willed.This implies 103

5
That it is an unintentional and unvoluntary act. 104
It is invalid to attempt to prove a Rational Intending Per se Subsistent Suppositum as an agent of an Act 105
which is Involuntary and Unintentional. 106
It does appear that Ibn Ar Rush is not ignorant of these flaws in his system and in his this particular 107
argument , yet he conceals them supposing that these flaw shall never be detected by any one. 108
In his zeal to refute Imam Al
, Ibn Ar Rushd made such arguments which could even destroy 109
his own arguments. Analyzation and refutation of Arguments coined by Ibn Ar Rushd against the proofs 110
of Imam Al
is beyond the scope of present discussion.It may amuse a number of Atheists that 111
alleged arguments made by Ibn Ar Rushd against Imam Al
R.
at any 418
Non Eternal Time , there is an infinite endless time since Eternity is 419
lapsed. A lapse of infinite Eternal time is impossible and Absurd. 420
,2)It does requires a Non Eternal Intention of the Eternal Agent at each 421
time, and this makes things worse in Rushdian system , where a single Not 422
Eternal Intention of an Eternal Agent is an unsolvable problem, An Infinite 423
series of distinct Non Eternal Intentions of the Eternal Agent is an infinitely 424
greater unsolvable problem of Impossibility. 425
Ibn Ar Rushds Fallacy. 426
Page | 15
15
Although Ibn Ar Rushd admitted that his given proofs are neither Logically 427
Certain Nor Logically Necessary, Yet he claimed that they are based 428
upon{like }:- 429
B,2,1) The knowledge of human beings {about them selves}as rational 430
beings. 431
But he made a fallacy by ignoring the differences between Natural Cases and 432
Divine Case . Since the Divine Case does Implicate problems in his 433
philosophical system but the former do not. Ibn Ar Rushd did admit that the 434
Existence Of Deity is neither provable as a necessity of Deductive Logic nor 435
as a certainty of the Deductive Logic. 436
But the proofs/arguments in support of Deity are Not like The knowledge of human 437
beings {about them selves}as rational beings. 438
439
B,2,2)The Principle Of Induction is also not applicable in the Divine Case, 440
since in Natural case this principle does not imply problems in his system. 441
But the proofs/arguments in support of Deity are Not like the Induction of natural cases. 442
It may be once more stated as follow:- 443
Natural casesare not like Divine Case 444
Since they DO NOT MAKE SUCH PROBLEMS IN HIS SYSTEM BUT THE 445
ARGUMENTS/PROOFS OF DEITY do make such problems in his system. Thus if he says so 446
this means that the invalidity of his system is directly implied by the very claims like the 447
proofs/arguments are based on the Knowledge of human beings as rational beings or on the 448
principle of induction etc. 449

Ibn Ar Rushds system maketh it impossible and absurd that Any Non Eternal Thing is an Effect or an 534
Action/Act OF Any Eternal (whether the eternal is Per Se subsistent or not), and Any Eternal is a Cause or 535
Agent of any Non Eternal, (whether the Eternal is Perse susbsistent or not). 536
In delatil whether the Eternal is an 537
Act(action/work),Attribute(Quality),Ousia(Essence/Substance/Persesubsistent one),Suppositum, Nature 538
etc. 539
Thus An Eternal cannot(what so ever) be cause of any Non Eternal (what so ever). 540
Thus the system is Atheistic in its nature, and one who does accept this system 541
Soon concludes that Atheism is the only conclusion of this system. 542
How ever it is shewn in this work that his own arguments cannot by correct if his system is correct. 543
And if his system his incorrect the then a number of arguments /proofs of Divine Existence may be 544
correct, which Ibn Ar Rushd tried to refute in his Philosophical system. 545
