God: A Source of Conviction

English book, p. 231

By Maulana Wahiduddin Khan

In this vast universe, God is our support. He is the one who supports us in the journey across the river of life and brings us to the other shore. Faith in God is everything for man. Without this conviction, man is nothing. All of us experience in our daily lives something of the utter helplessness that one experiences on seeing the enormous cosmos through a powerful telescope. Every person repeatedly faces experiences that force him or her to become a victim of limitations. For instance, we do not always get what we want. We often find ourselves in situations where we feel totally helpless. We all experience fear of loss, sickness, injury, old age and death. All of these give us a feeling that we are dependent on some superior force, and that without the help of this superior power we cannot succeed in any way. This feeling can be said to be a psychological proof of God’s existence. Every person definitely experiences this feeling. Every one of us finds within our own selves indisputable evidence for God’s existence. The inner being or nature of every person tells him or her, “You need God. Without God, your life cannot be complete. Without God, you cannot succeed.” God: A Source of Conviction
