Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books A Journey To The Fact Accident…Again The son prepared a few questions for his father that night. Some of the questions were collected from some books he had previously read and the rest were the result of discussions with his friends and teachers at school. His father was late, so he began writing down his questions on a piece of paper so that he won’t forget them.

When his father came later on, he was carrying a sack made of cloth, but the son could not figure out what was inside it. When the time came for his lesson, the son asked the following question: S Dad, I feel astonished: How do some people deny the existence of the Creator while the entire world is filled with proofs of His existence? F I’d like you to be more precise in presenting your question.

Does your question concern their denial of the Creator or it is about their disbelief in Him, glory and praise be to Him? S What is the difference? F The difference between denying God’s existence and not having faith in God is that the denier has a reason about non-existence of God. But the one who doesn’t believe in God doesn’t have proof of God’s existence. S Which group is the majority? Those who deny God or those who don’t believe in His existence? F Those who deny God do not exist.

Denial requires a reason, and how can they get one? Of course, there are people who deny His existence but when you discuss it with them, you’ll find out that in fact they do not deny the facts but they just don’t believe. S But there are many people who deny God’s existence because they are not convinced with the evidences of His existence. F These are not called deniers. A denier is a person who has convincing and solid reasons for the non-existence of God.

And you see that this is different from the one who doesn’t believe in Him (Glory and praise be to Him). So, son, distinguishing between these two groups is necessary. S What about the group that doesn’t believe in God? F Those are creeds and trends...Why are you looking at this sack son? What are you thinking of? S I’m listening to you. I was looking at the sack because I don’t know why you’ve brought it here?

F You’ll see that this sack has a close link to one of the creeds that doesn’t believe in God. S I’m listening to you, Dad! F There are different types of those who don’t believe in God; they are usually named materialists because they solely believe in materials and deny anything immaterial.
