This section covers all issues related to the existence of God, how we should know Him, how to feel His existence, etc.
God is the Living who confers life upon others. He creates and sustains all living things in their mortal lives in this world. Then, in the Hereafter, He confers eternal life upon the denizens of Paradise. It is one of the signs of God’s creative power that He imbues inert matter with life.
This is the first E-book produced by the Electronic Da`wah Committee (EDC) and Truth Seeker Website. The E-book is titled, A Conversation with an Atheist.

That space shuttle, with its parts and machines, did not assemble spontaneously; and engines did not run haphazardly, flying the vehicle in prolonged space travel, without there being an efficiently accurate system designed and conducted by smart scientists. Science and logic refute this.
A religious man, with firm belief in Allah, and of His munificence, does not find himself in utter desperation even in the worst moments of his life, because he knows well hat e is under the protection of a Being who is Almighty. With faith in the fact that every problem can be solved and every deadlock can be resolved with His help, he can overcome every disappointment and hopelessness.
Dr. Durant, after a comparatively detailed discussion of atheism of certain people writes that despite all that he has mentioned, these are exceptional cases, and the old notion that “religion” is a phenomenon that generally extends to all human beings, is true. The question of religion in the view of a philosopher is one of the basic questions of history and psychology.
The straight path is a kind of way and God has given man the ability to make his own choices; and whosoever desires guidance; God guides him to a way that leads to the abode of peace for which man has been created. For that he has been given the ability to make his own choices. If he chooses the abode of peace (paradise) God guides him to the way that leads him to it.

The achievements of modern science seem to contradict religion and undermine faith. But for a growing number of scientists, the same discoveries offer support for spirituality and hints of the very nature of God. The more deeply scientists see into the secrets of the universe, you’d expect, the more God would fade away from their hearts and minds.
Being Al-Razzaq (The All-Provider), there is a kind of justice and balance in what God the All-Provider gives to all of His human slaves. Materialistically calculated, all the things that Allah gives to His human slaves reflect His infinite divine justice. If we give one mark for everything human beings are given, the final result will be one and the same for each one of them. If we give one mark for each of the following: wife, house, income, job, health, beauty …etc., we find out that most people get equal marks despite certain individual differences.
There is nothing like Him, and it is impossible to imagine or conceive Him. He is not qualified by the laws of His creation. He is not encompassed by direction or distance. Allah existed as He has always been before the creation of time and space. He not only created time and space, but He is transcendentally beyond them.
