Man’s Existence is Proof of God’s Existence

English book, p. 163

By Maulana Wahiduddin Khan

FROM DENIAL TO BELIEF IN GOD abstract thing. People deny God because they think that the concept of God appears to be something abstract. Moreover, the existence of an abstract concept is not understandable to them, that is, to believe in something with no material existence. However, every man is a thinking creature. Therefore, based on one’s experience, everyone believes in the existence of thinking despite thinking being an abstract concept with no material existence. If man believes in the abstract concept of man’s existence, he must also accept the abstract idea of another existence. This is, without doubt, proof of God’s existence. Every person undergoes this experience and believes in it without any disagreement. If the existence of thinking is denied, then one’s existence will have to be rejected. No one can deny one’s existence; it is not, therefore, logically possible for anyone to deny the existence of God. Another reason why people deny the existence of God is that He is invisible; he cannot be seen. God’s being invisible is not a sufficient reason to deny His existence. The truth is that denying God’s existence because He is invisible is an anachronistic argument in this age of modern science. In the post-Einstein era, when the atom was split, and the river of knowledge reached the micro-world, which was in the unseen, it was learned that everything was invisible. Things previously regarded as visible—atoms—all became invisible—sub-atomic particles that cannot be seen. In such a situation, denying the existence of God based on invisibility has become an unscientific stand. For details on this subject, studying these two books is recommended:
