In the name of Allah, the most Merciful, the most Gracious.
I can’t believe that till now there are such a huge number of non-believers, even though everything around us is clear evidence on God’s existence. Unfortunately, the knowledge God granted mankind to use for our benefit, to cure diseases, to invent so many modernized things for our luxury...etc , instead of being a reason or proof to see how Almighty HE and obey his orders, arrogance filled their soul and mind thinking they have it all and lost faith in God.
If we wanted to start talking about the material evidence on God’s existence we should start with the Universe itself. This Universe was found or created before us human beings; no one can deny this fact. We can’t say that mankind was created without earth to live on, sun to shine and give warmth, air to breathe…
This universe with its mountains, sun, rain, seas, and oceans is far beyond our capabilities, and moving in its syndrome to serve us. Can the sun shine one day and the other no, can the rain stop falling to grow plants …. All these are reasons for life and all these are working and moving by the power of the Creator. We can’t control all these.
Surat Al bakara v.29 and 30
“He it is Who created for you all that is on earth. Then He rose ove (Istawâ) towards the heaven and made them seven heavens and He is the All-Knower of everything.” (29)
" And (remember) when your Lord said to the angels: "Verily, I am going to place (mankind) generations after generations on earth." They said: "Will You place therein those who will make mischief therein and shed blood, - while we glorify You with praises and thanks and sanctify You." He (Allâh) said: "I know that which you do not know." (30)
Some scientists go saying that all this is the result of some static atoms that got active and unified forming the universe. Ok but, who in the first place created these atoms? Who activated it? And those who say that all this were created accidently; we will tell them that accidents don’t make such an organized and accurate system working with a stable mechanism for million years.
HE did create everything on earth; if we tried to trace the first tree, first apple or orange, or palm. We will found that God has created all these and then they continued to grow with the reasons HE made in this universe. Same goes with the animals, birds and insects, all started with a pair of each a male and a female that He created. God (SWT) said in the holy Qur’an I created all these, and no one can say no I did then who did… we go saying I invented this or that and that. All what we can do is invent, invent form substances that already exist.
Allah says in Al Qur’an that all those people who deny his presence if all gathered to create a fly they won’t.
Surat Al haj v. 73
“O mankind! A similitude has been coined, so listen to it (carefully): Verily! those on whom you call besides Allâh, cannot create (even) a fly, even though they combine together for the purpose. And if the fly snatches away a thing from them, they will have no power to release it from the fly. So weak are (both) the seeker and the sought.” (73)
HIS Unlimited Power:
If we looked quickly around us we will see his unlimited power everywhere inourselves and in the Universe.
In the Universe; if we took the rain we will see regions with a lot of rain and others totally dry. Those dry regions were before full of rain and maybe had rivers too. As an example the River Nile, the source of the river is a region full of rain then years come with no tain at all and plants, animals and people die of thirst.
HE made reasons or mechanism to control the movement of the rain, and granted us the knowledge to understand these reasons, follow it, and put maps and so on. Yet it is not only these reasons it is his unlimited power that control everything. If it were for these reasons only the dry regions would have never seen a drop of rain ever.
In us human beings; he created mankind from male and female, and they get together to have children, this is the reason or the rule. Yet it is his power only that stops this reason, we find a couple living together for years and they didn’t have any child, even though the reason exist it is still his power that dominates everything.
We see his ultimate power in creating Adam from nothing without a male or a female, and Eve from male only, from Adam’s rib. Then Jesus came from female without male.
It is in us, think how does we move, how does we breathe while sleeping, how many muscles move in less than a second as per our will if we wanted to stand up for example. Also our stomach and the food cycle in your intestines, and the enzymes that works to digest the food, absorb what we need and get rid of the rest.
We are billions of human beings, God has created all of us with the same physical outlines, yet each one differs from the other, you will find races, colors and different figures. Doesn’t each one has his own smell, his own fingerprint, and a special print for his voice and his jawbone and teeth.
