Introduction
When man grows and starts understanding things, many questions come to his mind, like: Where am I from? What will be my end? Who created me and the universe around me? Who owns and controls this universe?
However, he is unable to provide himself with answers to these questions. Even modern science is not capable of giving answers to them because these issues fall within religious domains. That is why there Are numerous narrations and different superstitions and tales about them that only add to man’s confusion and distress.
Man can't get a satisfying answer to these questions unless Allah guides him to the true religion that can provide a final decision on these and similar issues; for these issues are among the divine secrets that only the true religion can give correct and accurate answers to and that is the only religion that Allah Almighty revealed to His Prophets and Messengers.
It is then incumbent upon man to learn the true religion and have belief in it to have his confusion and doubts removed and to be guided to the Straight Path. I invite you to follow the Straight Path of Allah, and I present to you some evidences and proofs that you may carefully and patiently reflect on.
Existence of Allah and His Lordship Over All Creation
Many people worship man-made deities like trees, stones, and even human beings; that is why the Jews and idolaters asked the Messenger of Allah (OBUH) about the characteristics of his Lord. In reply to this question, Allah revealed: “Say (O Muhammad): He is Allah, (the) One, Allah, the Self-Sufficient Master (whom all creatures need, He neither eats nor drinks). He begets not nor is He begotten. And there is none co-equal or comparable unto Him.” (Holy Quran 112:1-4)
Allah Almighty further says: “Indeed your Lord is Allah who created the heavens and the earth in Six Days and then He rose over the Throne (in a manner that suits His Majesty). He brings the night as a cover over the day, seeking it rapidly, and HE created the sun, the moon, and the stars subjected to His Command. Blessed be Allah, The Lord of all the worlds.” (Holy Quran 7:54)
God Almighty also says: “Allah is He, who raised the heavens without pillars that you can see. Then He rose above the Throne (in a manner that suits His Majesty). He has subjected the sun and the moon to continue going around, each running course for a term appointed. He regulates all affairs, explaining the Ayaat (proofs, evidence, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) in detail, so that you may believe with certainty in the meeting with your Lord. And it is He who spread out the earth and placed firm mountains and rivers and of every kind of fruits He made in pairs. He brings the night as a cover over the day…” until He says: “Allah knows what every female bears and how much the womb falls short (of their time or number) or exceed. Everything with Him is in due proportion. All-Knower of the unseen and the seen, the Most Great, the Most High.” (Holy Quran 13:2,3,8,9)
The Lord also comments: “Say (O Muhammad): Who is the Lord of the heavens and the earth? Say: (It is) Allah. Say: Have you then taken (for worship) protectors other than Him, such as have no power either for benefit or for harm to themselves? Say: Is the blind equal to the one who sees? Or is darkness equal to light? Or do they assign Allah partners who created the like of His creation, so that the creation (which they made and His creation) seemed alike to them? Say: Allah is the Creator of all things. He is the One, the Irresistible.” (Holy Quran 13:16)
While establishing for mankind His signs as pieces of evidence and proof, Allah Almighty gives the following remarks:
“And from among His signs are the night and the day, and the sun and the moon. Prostrate not to the sun nor the moon, but prostrate to Allah who created them, if you worship Him. But if they are too proud (to do so), then those who are with your Lord (angels) glorify Him night and day, and never are they tired. And among His signs (in this), that you see the earth barren, but when We send down water (rain) to it, it is stirred to life and growth of vegetation. Verily, He Who gives it life surely can give life to the dead (on the Day of Resurrection). Indeed, He can do all things.” (Holy Quran 41:37-39)
“And among His signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the differences of your languages and colors. Verily, in that are indeed signs for men of sound knowledge. And among his signs are the sleep that you take by night and by day.” (Holy Quran 30:22-23)
“Allah! None has the right to be worshipped but He. The Ever-Living, the One Who sustains and protects all that exists. Neither slumber nor sleep overtakes Him. To Him belongs whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever is in the earth. Who is he that can intercede with Him except with His permission? He knows what happens to them (His creatures) in this world and what will happen to them in the Hereafter. And they will never encompass anything of his knowledge.” (Holy Quran 2:255)
The Lord-may His Praise be exalted also says the following:
“The Forgiver of sins, the Acceptor of repentance, the Stern in punishment, the Bestower of favors. None has the right to be worshipped but He. To Him is the final return.” (Holy Quran 2:255)
“He is Allah, besides Whom none has the right to be worshipped, the King, the Holy, the One free from all defects, the Giver of security, the Watcher over His creatures, the All-mighty, the Compeller, the Supreme. Glory be to Allah! (High is He) above all that they associate as Partners with Him. (Holy Quran 59:23)
The following are proofs of existence and the Lordship of Allah Azzawajal:
Creation of this universe and its wonderful design
Nature
Consensus of all people
The reason
Conclusion
The wise and Omnipotent Lord who made Himself known to his slaves and established for them His signs and proofs and described Himself with attributes of perfection had prophetic ordainments, human wisdom, and nature testify to His existence, to His Lordship and being the only one having the right to be worshipped. I will, God Willing, show that to you in the following blogs by examining every proof of existence and the Lordship of Allah Almighty. Stay tuned and stay blessed. Assalamalikum!
