Believe in God is the most important thing in faith.
If someone does not believe that God exists then he is
in deep astray.
Does God exist? We have never seen God. We have never
talked with God. That is why the Atheists believe God
does not exist. It is just a fantasy or a made up
thing!
The Story of a Scholar and an Atheist
There is one story of a Scholar and an Atheist. Long
ago an Atheist did not believe the existence of God.
He asked a scholar for a debate about the existence of
God. Among the questions are: "Does God exist?"
and "If God exists then where is God?"
Then they decided when and where the debate takes
place.
The Atheist and the villagers were waiting for the
scholar, but the scholar did not come right on time.
When the Atheist and the villagers thought that the
scholar will not come for the debate, then the scholar
showed up.
"I am sorry to keep you waiting for so long. But the
rain is so heavy so the river floods. The bridge
drifted away so I could not cross it. Thank God
suddenly there was a big tree fell down. Then the
branches cut out by themselves so the trunk was
branchless. After that the trunk was cut and a hole
was created so it became a boat. So I used the boat
and crossed the river," said the scholar.
The Atheist and the villagers were laughing. The
Atheist said to the villagers, "This scholar is mad.
How can a tree became a boat by itself with no one
made it? How can a boat exist with no maker who made
it?"
The villagers were laughing out loud.
After the people calmed down, the scholar said, "If
you believe that the boat could not exist without its
maker, then how could you believe the earth, sky, and
its contents exist without its creator? Which is the
most difficult to make? Making a boat or creating the
earth, sky, and its contents?
Hearing that, they realized that they trapped with
their own statement.
"Then answer my second question," said the
Atheist. "If God exists, why can't He be seen?
Where is God?" The Atheist thought since he cannot
see God then God does not exist.
The scholar slapped the Atheist's cheek hardly so
the Atheist felt so much pain.
"Why did you slap me? It's very painful"
The scholar asked, "There is no pain. I cannot see
pain. Where is pain?"
"The pain is here," the Atheist pointed his cheek.
"No, I cannot see pain. Do you see the pain?"
asked the scholar to the villagers.
The villagers said, "No!"
"So, though we cannot see the pain does not mean
that the pain does not exist. So is the God. Just
because we cannot see the God does not mean that God
does not exist. Though we cannot see Him, but we can
see His creations." Said the scholar.
The argument of the scholar is very simple. Yet, the
argument that God does not exist just because
human's sense could not sense the existence of God
is very wrong.
How many things that could not be seen or heard by
people but exist?
We cannot see the Wind but the Wind exists. We cannot
see electricity (what you can see is wire) but
electricity exist.
How many things in the sky that billions light years
away, even trillions light years away that could not
be seen by people yet the things exist?
How many molecular things even nucleus (hair divided
in millions) that cannot be seen by people yet exist?
People could only see those things by using a very
powerful microscope.
How many waves (radio, electromagnetic, electricity,
etc) that cannot be seen yet exist?
Those things exist, yet the human sense is very
limited so it cannot sense their existence.
The human ability to see colors limited to certain
frequencies. People only could hear limited
frequencies. Sometimes the light not only very
dazzling but also could make people blind. So is the
sound. Certain sound could not be heard by human sense
while other sound which is very loud could destroy
human's hearing.
If to sense the creatures of God, sometimes people
could not do it, even more to sense the Creator: God!
The Universe, Who is its Creator?
It is hard to proof that God exists. But if we take a
look to the planes, cars, TVs, etc, it would be
irrational if we say that all exist by themselves.
There must be people who make them!
If the simple thing such as the match has its makers,
then the universe that far more complex than that must
be has its creator.
The Earth where 8 billion people live has
circumference 40,000 km. The circumference of the Sun
is 4.3 million km. The Sun and its 8 planets along
with 100 billion stars are in the Milky Way galaxy
whose length is 100,000 light years away.
Milky Way is only a galaxy among thousands galaxies
that form a Cluster. This cluster with thousands
clusters form 1 Super Cluster. And thousands of Super
Clusters form the Universe whose length is 30 billion
light years away! Remember, the number 30 billion
light years away only current estimation since the
strongest telescope today only could reach 15 billion
light years away.
Imagine if the distance between Earth and the Sun is
150 million km and passed by the light in just 8
minute, then the whole Universe passed by the light in
30 billion years. That is equal to 285 billion
trillion km away. If a man could run 40 km/hour
without stopping, he would pass the distance in
810,000 trillion years!
That is the greatness of Allah's creation! If we
believe in the magnificence of Allah's creation,
then we should believe in the magnificence of Allah.
In the Quran Allah explains that He is the creator of
Heaven, Star, Sun, Moon, and others:
"Blessed be He Who hath placed in the heaven
mansions of the stars, and hath placed therein a
great lamp and a moon giving light!" [Quran 25:6]
Is there a Controller of the Universe?
There are millions of people controlling the traffic
on road, sea, and air. Beacons are built. People also
build traffic light and radar. Air Traffic Control is
built to prevent accident. All vehicles have drivers.
Even on airplane there are pilot and co-pilot to make
the flight safer. On the ships there are Captain,
navigator, and engineers. Yet thousands of accidents
happen every year on land, sea, and air. Even though
there are many controllers, the accidents still
happen.
On the contrary, the Earth, Sun, Moon, Stars, and
others always revolve for billions of years without
single crash. Most scientists believe that the Earth,
Sun, and all of the other planets and moons in the
solar system formed about 4.6 billion years ago. For
billions of years until now the Earth never bump into
the Sun, and the Sun never collides with the Moon.
There is no mark, police, nor pilots to drive them.
Without God, the Controller of the Universe, none of
these would happen. Everything is in order because
there is God who controls everything. Allah has put
orbit for each of those things. If we really think
about it then we will know that God exist.
"He it is who appointed the sun a splendor and the
moon stages, that ye might know the number of the
years, and the reckoning. Allah created not (all) that
save in truth. He detaileth the revelations for people
who have knowledge" [Quran 10:5]
"It is not for the sun to overtake the moon, nor
doth the night outstrip the day. They float each in an
orbit" [Quran:40]
..
People who think a lot about universe insha Allah will
believe that there is a God!
"Allah it is who raised up the heavens without
visible supports, then mounted the Throne, and
compelled the sun and the moon to be of service, each
runneth unto an appointed term; He ordereth the
course; He detaileth the revelations, that haply ye
may be certain of the meeting with your Lord."
[Quran 13:2]
"Such as remember Allah, standing, sitting, and
reclining, and consider the creation of the heavens
and the earth, (and say): Our Lord! Thou createdst
not this in vain. Glory be to Thee! Preserve us from
the doom of Fire" [Quran 3:191]
Who is the Creator of People and Plants?
To those arrogant people who deny the existence of
God, Allah questions them about His creatures. Who is
the creator of sperm and plant? People or God the All
Wise Creator?
"Have ye seen that which ye emit?
Do ye create it or are We the creator?" [Quran
56:58-59]
"Have ye seen that which ye cultivate?
Is it ye who foster it, or are We the Fosterer?"
[Quran 56:63-64]
"Was it ye who made the tree thereof to grow, or
were We the grower?" [Quran 56:72]
Can Men Create a Fly?
In another verse, Allah challenges others to create a
fly if they could do it. Men may be could make robots
from things that created by Allah. Yet, none could
make a fly from nothing nor thing that could reproduce
except Allah:
"…Lo! Those on whom ye call beside Allah will
never create a fly though they combine together for
the purpose. And if the fly took something from them,
they could not rescue it from him. So weak are (both)
the seeker and the sought!" [Quran 22:73]
There are many other Quran verses that describe the
existence of God and God is the All Wise Creator.
