Rational Arguments for the Existence of Allah Almighty
Initial Explanation
الحمد للہ، والصلاة والسلام على رسول الله، أما بعد!
Denial of the existence of Allah Almighty has been done by very few people in every era of history. Most people have indeed believed in the existence of Allah but have associated partners with Him. The Holy Quran states:
﴿وَمَا يُؤْمِنُ أَكْثَرُهُم بِٱللَّهِ إِلَّا وَهُم مُّشْرِكُونَ﴾
“Most people, while believing in Allah, associate partners with Him.”
The Reality of Atheism
Denial of the existence of Allah Almighty is the height of ignorance. Except for someone who is completely deprived of reason, no sensible person can deny the Creator of the universe. For this reason, the nations mentioned in the Holy Quran were all polytheists, not atheists or disbelievers. These nations had no justification to deny the existence of Allah. It is stated in Surah Ibrahim:
﴿قَالَتْ رُسُلُهُمْ أَفِى ٱللَّهِ شَكٌّ فَاطِرِ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ﴾
“The messengers said: Can there be any doubt about Allah, the Creator of the earth and the heavens?”
In the Light of Reason
When a person sees a simple object, he immediately understands that it is made by a craftsman. Then how is it possible that such a great universe—earth and sky, sun and moon, stars, mountains, rivers, seas, and gardens—came into existence on their own without any Creator? Thinking otherwise is against reason.
The Incident of Imam Abu Hanifaؒ and the Dahris
During the Abbasid era, a Dahrī came who denied the existence of Allah. The Caliph summoned Imam Abu Hanifa, may Allah have mercy on him. Imam Sahib arrived late, and when asked the reason, he said that there were scattered pieces of wood by the banks of the Tigris River, which suddenly joined together on their own and formed a boat, and he came here riding in it. The Dahrī immediately said: This is just foolishness! Wood can never form a boat on its own. Imam Abu Hanifaؒ said: O fool! When a small boat cannot come into existence without a maker, then how can this great universe be created without a Creator? The Dahrī was left speechless by this answer.
Summary
Every particle of the universe bears witness to the existence of Allah Almighty. Only a person who is an enemy of reason can deny this. Even great scientists, after their research and observations, have accepted that Allah exists. A book titled “God is” has been written on this subject, and its Urdu translation is available under the name “Khuda Hai.”
Denial by Agnostics and Their Reality
Stubbornness and Obstinacy
Although the signs of Allah Almighty’s existence are spread throughout the entire universe, some people deny this reality by following their stubbornness and desires. The Holy Quran says about Pharaoh and his companions:
﴿وَجَحَدُوا۟ بِهَا وَٱسْتَيْقَنَتْهَآ أَنفُسُهُمْ ظُلْمًا وَعُلُوًّا﴾ (النمل: 14)
“Their hearts had indeed believed in the truth of Moses (peace be upon him), but because of oppression and arrogance, they denied it.”
Similarly, today’s agnostics also know the truth in their hearts, but due to pride and desires, they deny it with their tongues.
Need for Scientific Evidence and Arguments
For such people, mere fabricated arguments are not sufficient; rather, it becomes necessary to provide examples in a scientific manner so that those with intellect can understand better. For this purpose, some arguments based on scientific foundations are presented.
Argument Number 1: The Water System
The Holy Quran states:
﴿وَأَنزَلْنَا مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مَآءًۢ بِقَدَرٍۢ فَأَسْكَنَّـٰهُ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ ۖ وَإِنَّا عَلَىٰ ذَهَابٍۭ بِهِۦ لَقَـٰدِرُونَ﴾ (المؤمنون: 18)
“We sent down water from the sky in a measured amount and settled it in the earth, and if We wished, We could have caused it to disappear.”
Explanation
In the beginning, Allah Almighty sent down so much water that it is sufficient for humans and living beings until the Day of Judgment.
This same water accumulated in seas, rivers, and underground reservoirs.
Through mountains, springs, canals, and rains, this water keeps circulating.
The astonishing fact is that from the beginning of creation until today, neither has this water decreased nor has there been a need for an increase.
Scientific Aspect
Science tells us that water is formed by the combination of hydrogen and oxygen. In the past, the mixing of these gases led to the formation of seas and vast reservoirs of water on Earth. Even today, these two gases are present in the atmosphere, but they do not combine on such a large scale repeatedly to cause countless rains on Earth.
So who is it that combines these gases at a specific time and prevents them from combining in large quantities today?
How do oxygen and hydrogen separate from water vapor?
All this is not within the capacity of blind and unconscious matter. Behind this, there is an omnipotent being who controls this system, and that is Allah, Glorified and Exalted be He.
Conclusion
These atheists have no reasonable answer to this. Ultimately, they end the discussion by saying, “We do not know how all this happens.” But the truth is that this statement is an admission of their defeat and helplessness.
Argument Number 2: The Creation of the Human Body
Respected Dr. Nabi Bakhsh Baloch writes in his book Insan, Kainat aur Qanoon-e-Fitrat
:
Sperm and Germs
Approximately twenty-five million germs (sperms) are found in one cubic centimeter of a man’s sperm.
Usually, about five hundred million germs are present in one ejaculation.
Each one of these has the potential to become a complete human being.
But the reality is that out of all these, only one germ enters the woman’s egg and initiates creation.
Woman’s Egg
Every adult woman has approximately four hundred thousand immature eggs inside her.
However, at any given time, only one egg matures and becomes ready to accept the sperm.
When there are millions of sperms from the man, why does only one enter the egg? Why can’t the others enter?
Out of the millions of eggs in a woman, why does only one egg mature? Why don’t all mature?
The question here is, what is the power that stops the other germs? And causes only one of the woman’s eggs to appear at the appointed time?
Reality
Neither is there any consciousness in the sperm germs,
Nor is there any intellect in the woman’s eggs.
Then how is this perfect and organized system established?
There is only one answer:
All this happens by the command and control of Allah Almighty. He alone decides which germ will succeed and which egg will be prepared.
Conclusion
This reality shows that modern science, through its observations and experiments, is ultimately testifying to the existence of Allah Almighty.
Argument No. 3: The System of Celestial Bodies
The Holy Quran says:
﴿كُلٌّ فِى فَلَكٍ يَسْبَحُونَ﴾
“All these celestial bodies are moving in their respective orbits.”
Scientific Reality
The sun is revolving in its orbit.
The moon is revolving around the earth.
The earth also moves daily around the sun and simultaneously on its own axis.
Similarly, countless planets and stars are continuously moving in their respective circles.
This entire system has been established for thousands of years, yet till today no planet has collided with its orbit, nor has there been the slightest change in their movement.
A Point to Ponder
How can such large and magnificent celestial bodies exist without any Creator?
If they had come into existence on their own, there would necessarily be collisions, disorder, and accidents among them.
The reality is that they were created by an Omnipotent Being who, by His power, set their orbits.
Examples
Scientists have made artificial satellites and rockets and sent them into space, which orbit the Earth. All these were made and controlled by humans. Did they come into existence on their own? Certainly not!
Similarly, missiles are operated through remote control and hit specific targets. They neither form by themselves nor operate by themselves.
When small human creations cannot come into existence on their own, how can such magnificent planets and galaxies exist without a Creator?
Testimony of the Quran
Allah Almighty says:
﴿إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يُمْسِكُ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ أَن تَزُولَا ۚ وَلَئِن زَالَتَآ إِنْ أَمْسَكَهُمَا مِنْ أَحَدٍ مِّنۢ بَعْدِهِۦٓ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ حَلِيمًا غَفُورًا﴾ (الفاطر: 41)
“Allah is the One who holds the heavens and the earth so that they do not slip away from their place. If they were to slip away, then there is none after Allah who could hold them.”
Conclusion
For thousands of years, the rising and setting of the sun, moon, and stars have been occurring at a fixed time.
Not even a moment’s difference occurs in their system.
If all this happened automatically, it would have broken down long ago.
This entire system is under the control of one Creator, and that is Allah, Glorified and Exalted be He.
The Clear Reality of Allah’s Existence
The Testimony of the Universe
The proofs of Allah’s existence are scattered throughout the entire universe. The earth and sky, mountains and rivers, sun and moon, stars and galaxies—all testify that all of these are created by one Creator.
Sheikh Saadi, may Allah have mercy on him, said:
If the eye is blind during the day
What fault is there in the sun?
Meaning, if the eye is blind during the day and cannot see the sun, it is not the sun’s fault but the fault of the blind eye.
Those Who Deny the Truth
If a person does not accept all these arguments, it is a sign of his stubbornness, illness, and blindness.
As it is said:
What benefit is there in bringing the storm of Noah?
Even two tears are enough if they have an effect
Meaning, even great arguments remain ineffective before a stubborn and blind person.
Summary of the Discourse
The proofs of the existence of Allah Almighty are clear in reason, knowledge, and observation.
Atheists and materialists are actually attached to their own selves.
A wise person, upon seeing the reality of the universe, immediately acknowledges that it has a Creator.
ھذا ما عندی واللہ اعلم بالصواب
