Proof of the Existence of God
English book, p. 111
By Maulana Wahiduddin Khan
GOD AND THE LIFE HEREAFTER The present world is an exceptional phenomenon. The universe is an exception that rebuts the view of the deniers of God. If the universe were only the result of an accident, it would be repeatable through another such ‘accident’. However, when it is not repeatable, seeking to explain it due to a supposed accident is entirely baseless. Therefore, this sort of explanation is not intellectually acceptable. The fact is that for a person, the existence of God is as certain as his own existence. Every person accepts his existence. Through the same evidence and proof, he will also have to accept the existence of God. To accept one’s existence and not to accept God’s existence is an intellectual contradiction. No serious person can accept this. The famous 17th century French philosopher Rene Descartes (1596-1650) said, “I think, therefore I exist.” This principle is undoubtedly a firm one. According to this principle, a person who is aware of himself reaches the stage of realizing God. According to this principle, it would be right to say, “I exist, therefore God exists.” The universe is not repeatable; it proves that a conscious Being made this universe according to His will and decision. God is a proven Being. To know that God is a reality is to accept something proven, while to deny God is to deny something proven.
