Existence of God and Oneness of Allah (SWT)

Study Notes

Existence of God and Oneness of Allah (SWT)

The question of God's existence is a fundamental one, and there are many arguments and evidences that support the idea of Allah's existence.
Fitrah, or the intrinsic nature in humans, guides people about right and wrong deeds, and everybody is conscious of moral values despite cultural differences.

Fitrah Argument

Fitrah is the innate nature in humans that makes them seek help, guidance, and hope from a Supreme Lord, especially in times of calamity.
Moral values such as disliking murder, theft, and mischievous behavior are universally accepted across cultures and religions.
Throughout history, societies have placed people or figures in a higher position to seek help and sanctify their feelings.

Quranic Perspective on Fitrah

According to the Quran (Ar-Room 30:30), the right religion is described as fitrah of Allah, and Islam is the religion of fitrah.
The established pattern of Allah upon which He has created mankind is the only right religion.

Hadith Perspective on Fitrah

Hazrat Abu Huraira (R.A) reported that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "No child is born but that he is upon natural instinct."
Abu Huraira (R.A) recited the verse, "The nature of Allah upon which he has set people," (30:30) to emphasize the innate nature of humans.

Design and Designer Argument

Everything in the universe did not come into being by chance, and the placement of things reflects the designer and his design.
Every object and living thing has a specific design that indicates its designer.
The remarkable harmony of nature, observable even with the naked eye, suggests the existence of a founder and protector of order.

Analogy of the Book and Sculpture

Just as a reader of a book is aware that the author has written it for a reason, and a viewer of a sculpture is convinced that it was created by a sculptor, so too does the order in the universe suggest the existence of a designer.
The balance in the world could not have come about by chance, and the harmony of nature points to the existence of a designer.

The Possibility of Multiple Designers

If there were two or more designers of the world, they would be independent in their domain and each would want to show and prove their existence.
The attributes of multiple designers would differ, which is not observed in the harmony of nature.
