 Existence Of God
To prove the existence of God, first of all we should
know the resources for the evidences.
Resources:-
All the resources for giving the proofs on the
existence of God can be categorized into two types of
arguments which are explained below:-
1. Fitrah Arguments
2. Scientific Arguments
1. Fitrah Arguments:-
1.1 What is fitrah?
Fitrah is the internal nature of humans which guides
them about wrong and right deeds.But the choice to do
right or to go to the wrong side is in the court of human
being.
1.2 How Holy Quran Describes Fitrah?
This guidance of the straight way is first inserted in
the man’s nature by Allah Almighty and then He sent his
Prophets to human beings for the the detailed guidance
of the religion which He selected and liked for all the
man kind, that is religion Islam.The first guidance which
was inserted in the nature of man by Allah Almighty is
explained in the Holy Quran in Surah As-Shams.
(Verse No. 7 to 8)
And
the soul and He who proportioned it.
(Verse No. 7)
And
inspired it (with discernment of) its wickedness
and its righteousness.
(Verse No. 8) The Holy Quran
describes it in Surah Al-Insan.
(Verse No. 3)
Indeed, we
showed him the way, whether he be grateful or
ungrateful.
It is also
described in Surah As-Saaffat.
And we
guided them to the Straight Way.
(Verse No. 118)
1.3 What
are the arguments of Fitrah which explains
the existence of God? (1) If there is a fitrah
(the feelings of bad and good) present in the soul of
every human, then there is a Creator of man and also the
Creator of the fitrah.
(2) If there is a fitrah exists
in man kind, there is some reason which is responsible
for the existence of the fitrah in man.The only reason is
that the Creator will take account of all the man kind the
of the judgment.Therefore, there is a Creator that exists
and that Creator is God.

(3) The Creator like justice and he has set the

moral values in the soul of every human, Therefore,
everybody is conscious about the moral values, though
they differ culturally but the basic values are
same.Murder, theft, kidnapping, injustice and dishonesty
etc are disliked by everybody, in every nation and every
religion.

(4) Man knows his limits and his

fitrah.He knows that he has no control over the place of
his birth where he has to born and who are going to be
his parents.He does not know which qualities and
characteristics he will be given with his birth.These
limits tell him that he has limited kingdom and a Creator
exists Who has limitless kingdom and the Creator of him
and the entire universe.
2. Scientific
Arguments:- The Holy Quran
explains the evidences for the existence of God by Fitrah
arguments and on the other hand it also explains the
answers of scientific and logical questions which raises
in the mind of man for assuring him about the existence
of God. The Holy Quran uses the Arabic word ‘‘Ayah’’
for these proofs as it is explained in Surah Fussilat.

(Verse No. 53)

We
will show them Our signs in the horizons and within
themselves until it becomes clear to them that it is
the truth.
The
modern science is revealing the truth that there is some
Creator of man kind Who created man for a specific
purpose.Science and religion has a relation of heart and
mind.Religion is the satisfaction for heart and science is
the satisfaction for mind.There are more than 6000
verses in the Holy Quran, in which more than 1000
verses explains scientific facts.Most of the scientific
theories are agreed with the teachings of the religion
which tells that the religion exists, thus God exists
These are
scientific arguments explained by the religion (Islam)
which justify the existence of God:-
2.1
Astronomy 2.1.1
Creation of the universe The
Big Bang Theory
According to the Big Bang theory, the whole universe
was initially one big mass (primary Nebula).Then there
was a explosion in it called ‘Big Bang’ (Secondary
Separation) which resulted in the formation of galaxies.
These then divided to form stars, planets, the sun, the
moon, etc.The origin of the universe was unique and the
probability of its occurring by chance is zero.

There are two questions arising in this theory:-

(1) Who did the explosion?

(2) Who creates the big mass (primary Nebula)? .

The Holy Quran contains the following verse,

regarding the origin of the universe:-
Do not the unbelievers see that the heavens and the
earth were joined together (as one unit of creation),
and We separated them and made from water every
living thing? (Surah Al-Anbiya - Verse No. 30)

Argument:-
The striking congruence between the Quranic verse
and the ‘Big Bang’ is inescapable.How could a book,
which first appeared in the deserts of Arabia 1400 years
ago, contain this profound scientific truth? Only the
personality Who is God, having all the knowledge of the
universe.

2.1.2 The light of the moon is

reflected light.
It was believed by earlier civilizations that the moon
emanates its own light.Science now tells us that the light
of the moon is reflected light.
However this fact was mentioned in the Holy Quran
1,400 years ago in the following verses:-

(1) Blessed is He Who made constellations in the

skies, and placed there in a lamp and a moon giving
light.
(Surah Shuraa - Verse No. 61)

(2) He Who made the sun to be a shining glory

and the moon to be a light.
(Surah Younus - Verse No. 5)

(3) See you not how Allah has created the seven
heavens one above another, and made the moon a
light in their mid, and made the sun as a (glorious)
lamp?
(Surah Nooh - Verse No. 15 to 16)
2.1.3
The sun rotates For a
long time European philosophers and scientists believed
that the earth stood still in the centre of the universe and
every other body including the sun moved around it. In
the West, this geocentric concept of the universe was
prevalent right from the time of Ptolemy in the second
century B.C.
In 1512,
Nicholas Copernicus put forward his Heliocentric Theory
of Planetary Motion, which asserted that the sun is
motionless at the centre of the solar system with the
planets revolving around it.
In 1609,
the German scientist Yohannus Keppler published the
‘Astronomia Nova’. In this he concluded that not only do
the planets move in elliptical orbits around the sun, they
also rotate upon their axes at irregular speeds.

With this knowledge it became possible for European

scientists to explain correctly many of the mechanisms of
the solar system including the sequence of night and day.

The Quran Explains this fact in the following verses:-

(1) It is He Who created the night and the day,

and the sun and the moon, all swim along, each in its
rounded course.
(Surah Al-Maidah - Verse No. 33)

(2) It is not permitted to the sun to catch up the

moon, nor can the night outstrip the day, Each swims
along in its own orbit.

(Surah Yaseen - Verse No. 36)

2.2 Finger Prints

 Unbelievers argue regarding resurrection taking place
after bones of dead people have disintegrated in the earth
and how each individual would be identified on the day
of judgement.Allah answers that He can not only
assemble our bones but can also reconstruct perfectly our
very fingertips.
In the Holy Quran it is described in these words in
Surah Al-Qeyamah (Verse No. 3,4)

Does man think that We cannot assemble his bones?

No, We are able to put together in perfect order the
very tips of his fingers.

In 1880, fingerprinting became the scientific method

of identification, after research done by Sir Francis Golt.
No two persons in the world can ever have exactly the
same fingerprint pattern.That is the reason why police
forces worldwide use fingerprints to identify the criminal.

Argument:-
1400 years ago, who could have known uniqueness of
each human’s fingerprint? Surely it could have been
none other than the Creator Himself.

The Strongest Argument In My Opinion

The strongest arguments in my opinion are those
which are related to scientific arguments in the field of
astronomy.These arguments astonish us because there is
a huge distance between the progress in astronomy and
the revelation of Holy Quran which states that the Holy
Quran is the word of God and thus God Exists.
