đ§ How Can I Be Sure That God Exists?
đ§ 1. Use Your Mind: Nothing Comes From Nothing
Letâs start simple:
Look at the world around you. Your phone, your car, your houseâall of it had a creator, right? Someone designed it. Someone built it. It didnât just happen.
Now zoom out:
The human body. The galaxy. The entire universe. Are we really gonna say that all of thisâlaws of physics, DNA, galaxies, consciousnessâjust popped into existence by chance?
Islam literally asks this question in the Qurâan:
“Were they created out of nothing? Or were they the creators [of themselves]?” (Qurâan 52:35)
Science backs this up too. The Big Bang shows the universe had a beginning. Anything with a beginning needs a cause. That cause has to be outside of time, space, and matterâsomething timeless, powerful, and intentional. Islam calls that Allah.
đ 2. Look Around You: Nature Doesnât Lie
There are signs everywhereâlike little spiritual breadcrumbs.
- The Earth is exactly the right distance from the sun. Any closer or further, and life wouldnât exist.
- Your body is a miracleâyour heart beats automatically, your brain processes billions of signals.
- Every snowflake, fingerprint, and tree leaf is unique. Thatâs not chaos. Thatâs design.
The Qurâan says:
âIndeed, in the creation of the heavens and the earth⌠are signs for people who reflect.â (Qurâan 3:190)
So think about itâif the signs are there, what are they pointing to?
đŚ 3. The Inner Compass: You Already Feel It
Even if someone grows up without religion, they usually feel:
- That there’s something bigger out there.
- That some things are just wrong.
- That thereâs a kind of emptiness when life feels meaningless.
Islam calls this the fitrahâyour natural inner self. Itâs like a compass pointing toward God. You can cover it up, ignore it, or try to fill it with distractionsâbut itâs still there.
Thatâs why even people who say they donât believe still pray in moments of fear. Why? Because deep down, the soul remembers its Creator.
âď¸ 4. Morality: Where Do âRightâ and âWrongâ Come From?
Think about this:
- Why do we feel guilty when we hurt someone?
- Why is kindness respected everywhere?
- Why does injustice bother us?
If we were just highly evolved animals, morality would be whatever we wanted it to be. But we do believe some things are right and wrongâno matter the culture.
Islam explains this by saying Allah planted that sense of right and wrong in us:
âAnd [God] inspired the soul with its sense of right and wrong.â (Qurâan 91:8)
Without God, morals become opinions. But with God, they have weight.
𤲠5. Spiritual Experience: Faith Feels Real
Letâs be realâsome things just hit different:
- Standing in prayer when you’re broken.
- That peace you feel after a sincere duâa (supplication).
- The tears that fall when you hear the Qurâan in a moment of need.
Itâs not about hype. Itâs not emotion for the sake of emotion. Itâs your soul recognizing its source. You donât always need scientific proof for love, purpose, or inner peaceâbut you know when itâs real.
đ§ 6. Even Prophets Asked Questions
Donât feel guilty for asking. Even Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) asked Allah:
âMy Lord, show me how You give life to the dead.â
Allah said, âDo you not believe?â
He said, âI do! But just to make my heart feel at ease.ââ (Qurâan 2:260)
Islam never tells you to stop thinking. It tells you to think deeper.
â So… How Can You Be Sure?
- Because everything around you points to something greater.
- Because your mind, your heart, and your soul all feel it.
- Because Islam isnât built on fairy talesâitâs built on signs, reason, and truth.
Believing in God doesnât mean having every answer. But it means youâve seen enough to trust the One behind it all.
