If we start saying Allah exists based on a feeling then what is the difference between us and the mushriks. They also have a feeling that the idol is their creator or what the difference between a person worshipping a lemon basing it on a feeling.
This is a logical step by step approach to prove Allah exists.
Matter is limited and Dependent.
Anything limited and dependent cannot exist for eternity.
What set the universe into motion? In the current state of the universe it is expanding uniformly so it could not have always existed in its current state.
Anything limited and dependent cannot exist for eternity hence it has a starting point.
Nothingness cannot produce something.
So how did the universe come into existence? It didnt pop up out of nothing, it didnt always exist but it does exist. Something caused the universe to come into existence.
So what could bring the universe into existence? It can’t be limited because all limited things have a start point and an end point. it has to be unlimited and independent.
The characteristic of an unlimited and independent creator only exists in Islam. He is Allah.
In his lecture "The Purpose of Life", Shaykh Khalid Yaseen gave a very simple example concerning the Big Bang Theory. Atheists argue that the universe came about from the Big Bang. Ok, we accept that. But what caused the Big Bang and how did it create this marvellous order of things. Order does not come disorder. Think of it this way. If you take an empty glass, take it to a pavement and drop it, is there even the most remote chance that the glass will break into several smaller glasses? I don't think so.
Similarly, to say that this wonderfully planned universe came about due to a random action is foolishness.
the entropy of the universe is always increasing. To be spontaneous it is required that the entropy increases..of course under condition that the heat and temp remain a constant.
The heat is a constant as the universe is an isolated system. So there is no net heat absorbed or heat given out.
Now coming to Big bang. Well there are many forces that could lead to such an explosion. The energy build up in the system would be too much for it to sustain. And it just exploded. Now u know that the sun eminate energy from nuclear fusion.
I can go on.. but i dont want to make it a science class. No religion in the world has any scientific basis. If u want to worship god.. then worship knowledge. Truth is God. And knowledge is truth.Ignorence cannot be termed as God.
We are only partially understanding that truth.. once the complete truth is known i would presume that there wont be any God existing on Earth.
You’re absolutely right in saying that the knowledge and truth of everything can be attributed to God. We, however, can never attain a state of complete knowledge or truth. You just need to compare our beliefs from a decade ago and now to see man’s limitations. Scientific theories change, faith doesn’t.
Try to understand the purpose of the thread and not what you want it to be. Purpose of creation (apart from worship which can be proven through the qur'an) is a futile topic as there is nothing in the tangible reality which can prove any argument and it is only guesswork.
Instead of wasting your life away think about what was before life, what is life and what will happen after death. The way you answer these questions will affect every aspect of your life.
btw, you can discuss this in a separate thread as this is not what we are discussing here.
you are absolutely right. whatever is beyond knoledge, how long you ponder over it…result will end only in fantasy. no religion can be the supreme truth. it is your fake beleif makes it supreme.
U have a point here Raihan. Now forgive me for my bad english, but if i break up ur sentence, then i assume that the imperfect singularity that u r refering to is universe. This kept me thinking.With my present knowledge i have no convincing answer. But not having an answer does not mean that one can except the existance of God, without proof. Science have been striving for an answer to ur question. Religion gives an easy answer to that..God!!!
It depends on an individual, unbaised by their upbringing, to believe in the religion or to believe in science and keep the option open. .
To me.. well its my personal opinion..
If everything were to be dictated by God then u can as well dont need to live. U cannot also explain why there is so much inequality among human race.So much disorder. So much veriety.
And whatever science we know about evolution and mutation all does not support the existance of God or atleast a devine creator.
As i told u the limitation of our knowledge cannot be taken as a proof for the existance of God.

"If we start saying Allah exists based on a feeling then what is the difference between us and the mushriks"
yes there is no diffrence the only differance is mushriks worship those things which they can understand or those things which they think are powerfull eg. like Idols of people of there past whom they think thhey have some super natural powers or SUN STARS FIRE etc.
and for muslim worship that power which unthinkable unlimited, why he creat this word why he creat us ..... all these things are unthinkable.
