Can you prove to me that Allah exists?

[RedSea]

Why do we pray? Why do we fast? why do we do all the things that are Islmic?

 

Do we do it, cuz we have been told to do so, or do we do it for other reasons?

 

Al jawaabu cindakum.

[winnie]

Allah wont change your heart, until you change yr heart--- there is an ayat in the quran that says something to that effect.

meaning, if you dont want to believe, than you wont.

for a believer, proof is found everywhere he she looks, and to a certain degree it (belief) is subjective.

the scientific argument/ demands proof from those arguing the existence of something, however, for us (believers), it is difficult to prove His non-existence.

any scientific calculation you come up with, it will simply make us marvel at our Lords infinite wisdom, and mercy.

Proof of Allah's existence can be found in the night, the stars, the moon, and the perfect harmony... if the moon were placed just a mile further than it is, we would be suffering all kinds of harsh climate changes, like floods, hurricanes, etc... subhan Allah, proof is in the perfection of this universe (despite how much we abuse our planet), and really, you have to believe first to even recognize it...

you have to be willing to recognize the truth, and not cover it up with your own fancies or egotism.

 

we pray, we fast, etc because this is what our prophet muhammad (pbuh) ordered us to do, and he was ordered to tell us by Allah swt.

every nation of the world has been sent a prophet and or a messenger, and they all came with the same message, which is to worship the one true God, and to do good actions. Muhammad,pbuh, is the seal of the prophets and the last of a long line of messengers, and he was a man/human like any of us, except he had the best of characters, and because of that, we muslims try to emulate him as best we can.

[Che -Guevara]

Are these trick questions?

[RedSea]

Che,

 

imagine if I were non Muslim and I asked those questions asking you to prove to me that Allah/GOD exists. They are not that tricky really.

 

Shaken and detered,

 

You have amazed walal. that is wonderful. Great.

 

This sort of proof is call al caqiida which is a believe.

 

The process of a believe is:

 

#1. Thinking: We think about it, self evaluate all the elements involved. Make reasonable judgement.

 

Believe: (Al caqiida) we start to either like that judgment and believe in it or reject it.

 

Action: After we believe in our hearts what we have discovered in our mindset, we start to act upon that and feed off of it. This could be good or bad.

 

Every single action on this planet follows through this patern. Whether it's theives stealing, players playing all, or prayers praying.

 

We pray because we love Allah, we know HE is in charge of the heavens(this is after we've seen all the signs of the universe, examples before thee)and started to believe. then we start to acct uppon our believes which points us to love Allah. So when we do pray, fast, fight, out of love for Allah then we know we are true believers.

 

If we pray, because we have been told so or expected to do so, then we are not there quite yet.

 

A true believer loves the Prophet peace be upon him more than him/herself, his ideals, principles, parents etc until then we are not complete believers.

 

 

This sort of things is called al caqiida.

waryaa dusamareeb diinta xagee kubaratay?

[Abaay Heylay]

Ceyow Jr, why did you ask if you already know the answer?

[RedSea]

dhulqarnay,

 

dhuusomareeb waa meesha diintu uga timid somalida iyo waaliduba, ma ogidoo?

 

blessedMuslimah,

 

educational purpose.....

[dhulQarnayn]

Waryaa dusamareeb!

 

For starters, I protest the premise of your question, hadaad tahay nin Muslim ah.

 

However, if you must insist I will do my best to answer it...

 

Allah's existence is too evident to need any arguments. Of late, the dubious influences of non-believers such as Richard Dawkins on science and humanity makes it necessary to discuss such arguments.

 

If a few people who never tell the truth come and tell us at various times the same thing, we may believe them in the absence of any alternative. But when dozens of Prophets who never lied, and countless believers who adopted truthfulness as a most essential pillar of belief, all agree that Allah exists, how can we reject their testimony for that of a few liars?

hence, regardless of what atheists and non-believers say, it is worth reflecting upon the fact that, since the very beginning of life, an overwhelming majority of people have believed in Allah's existence and upto this date, still do. IMHO, this alone should suffice to establish Allah's existence.

 

But if you still need further prove, then I strongly urge you to study the Al-ASMA-UL-HUSNA - The beautiful names of Allah .

 

• #96 Al-Baqi- The Everlasting One

No thing or person has any role in determining how, when, or where it comes into existence, or what character and features it will have. Some power has to choose. This power must be infinite, and have absolute will and all-comprehensive knowledge. This power is Allah (S.W.T)

 

• #63 Al-Qayyum- The Self-Existing One

Things are finite. Everything is changeable. Given this, everything is contained by time and space and therefore must have a beginning and an end. That which has a beginning needs a beginningless one to bring it into existence. Reason demands the existence of one who is infinitely self-existent and self-subsistent, who does not change. This is Allah(s.w.t).

 

• #11 Al-Khaliq- The Creator

Life is a riddle that scientists cannot explain with material causes, and transparent because it shows or reflects a creative power. Through both of these characteristics, life declares: "Allah created me."

 

• #55 Al-Wáli- The Governor

• #12 Al-Bari'- The Maker of Order

Everything in the universe, and the universe as a whole, displays a magnificent harmony and order. This is seen in every item and in their harmonious interrelationships. This is true to such an extent that one part's existence necessitates the whole's existence, just as the whole's existence requires all its parts' existence. A single deformed cell may lead to the whole body's death. Similarly a single tree requires for its existence; air, water, soil, and the sun, as well as their well-balanced mutual collaboration. Such harmony and cooperativeness point to a creator of order, one who knows everything in all its relations and characteristics, one who can put everything in order. The creator of that order is Allah(s.w.t)

 

• #13 Al-Musawwir-The Shaper of Beauty

• #85 Dhul-Jalali Wal-Ikram- The Lord of Majesty and Bounty

All creation exhibits an overwhelming artistry of dazzling beauty. Yet it is created, as we see it, easily and quickly. Furthermore, creation is divided into countless families, genera, species, and even smaller groups, each of which has so many members. Despite this variety and abundance, we see only orderliness, art, and ease. This shows the existence of one with an absolute power and knowledge: Allah(s.w.t).

 

• #75 Az-Zahir- The Manifest One

• #45 Al-Wasi'- The All-Comprehending

Nothing in the universe is pointless. As ecology shows in particular, everything in creation, no matter how apparently insignificant, has a significant role in existence and serves a certain purpose. The chain of creation up to humanity, the last link in creation, is evidently directed toward a final purpose. Since this requires a wise one who pursues certain purposes in creation, and since only humanity has the consciousness to pursue those purposes, the wisdom and purposiveness in creation points to Allah(s.w.t).

 

• #42 Al-Karim- The Generous

• #17 Ar-Razzaq- The Sustainer

• #1 Ar-Rahman- The All-Compassionate

• #2Ar-Rahim- The All-Merciful

• #83Ar-Ra'uf- The Clement

All living and non-living beings are in continuous need of many things, even a small portion of which they cannot supply by themselves. For example, the universe's operation and maintenance demand the existence of such universal laws as growth, reproduction, gravitation, and repulsion. However, these "natural" laws have no external, visible, or material existence; their existence is completely nominal. How can something that exists only nominally, which has no knowledge and consciousness, be responsible for a miraculous creation requiring absolute knowledge and wisdom? How can it have the power of choice and preference? So, one who has all these attributes has established these natural laws and uses them to veil His operations for a certain purpose.

 

Plants require air, water, heat, and light. But they can obtain none of these on their own. Our needs are infinite. Fortunately, all of our essential needs, from the very beginning of our earthly existence to our death, are met by someone beyond our own capacity and intervention. We enter this world and find everything prepared to meet our all sense, intellectual, and spiritual needs. This clearly shows that one who is infinitely merciful and knowledgeable provides for all created beings in the most extraordinary way, and causes all things to collaborate to that end.

 

• #41 Al-Jalil- The Glorious

• #17 Ar-Razzaq - The Sustainer

• #16 Al-Wahhab- The Giver of All

As I have mentioned above, everything in the universe helps everything else. This mutual helping is so comprehensive that, for example, just as almost all other creations help us in the most extraordinarily prearranged manner, so do bodily cells and biological systems cooperate to keep us alive. Soil, air, water, heat, and bacteria cooperate to keep plants alive. This cooperation and mutual helping, observed among unconscious beings but requiring knowledge and deliberate purpose, show the existence of one who arranges them in that miraculous way.

 

• #7 Al-Muhaymin- The Guardian

• #38 Al-Hafiz- The Preserver

• #39 Al-Muqit- The Nourisher

Have you ever wondered why nature is so clean, why forests are so clean although many animals die there every day? Have you ever noticed that nothing is wasted in nature?

 

The cycle of death and revival is one reason for the universe's continual cleanliness and purity. This purity points to one who is all-holy, whose attributes include cleanliness and purity.

 

Countless human beings have lived since Adam's creation. Despite their common origin;a sperm and ovum, which are formed from the same sort of foods consumed by one's parents;and although they are composed of the same structures, elements, organisms, every person has a unique countenance. This shows one with an absolutely free choice and all-encompassing knowledge, and He is Allah(s.w.t).

 

Despite enormous scientific advances, we cannot explain life. Life is the gift of the Ever-Living One, Who "breathes" a spirit into each embryo. Our ignorance of the spirit's nature and its relation with the body does not negate its existance. The spirit is sent to the world to be perfected and acquire a state appropriate for the other life in the hereafter. Our conscience is the center of our inclinations toward right and wrong. Everybody feels this conscience on some occasions. So, the spirit and conscience are strong arguments for the existence of One Allah(s.w.t).

 

We are innately disposed to good and beauty, and adverse to evil and ugliness. We also are inclined to virtues and moral values. Unless corrupted by external factors and conditions, we seek the good and moral values, which are universal. These values we seek naturally are the same virtues and morality promulgated by our Holy Prophet Muhammad(pbuh), which have left indelible marks on human history. Many Prophets came and guided humanity to truth. All of them were justly renowned for their truthfulness and other praiseworthy virtues. All gave priority to preaching the existence and Oneness of God.This is another irrefutable proof for the existence of the One Allah(s.w.t).

 

And finally, The Holy Qur'an(I almost forgot ) proves Allah's existence. The Qur'an teaches with great emphasis and force the existence of One God.

 

بِسۡمِ ٱللهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

 

قُلۡ هُوَ ٱللَّهُ أَحَدٌ (١) ٱللَّهُ ٱلصَّمَدُ (٢) لَمۡ يَلِدۡ وَلَمۡ يُولَدۡ (٣) وَلَمۡ يَكُن لَّهُ ۥ ڪُفُوًا أَحَدُۢ (٤)

 

 

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful

 

Say: He is Allah, the One! (1) Allah, the eternally Besought of all! (2) He begetteth not nor was begotten. (3) And there is none comparable unto Him. (4)
