Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Does God Exist? Introduction We live in a world where millions doubt the existence of God: a world of science and technology in which people only accept what they can prove, see, measure, weigh or touch. Understandably, abstract concepts are accepted with caution.

Belief in the existence of God is, therefore, treated with suspicion, disdain and oftenwithamusement.Certainlythe sophisticated western mind calls for more than nebulous unproved theories upon which to base faith. Nevertheless, were you to visit any country in the world, you would find that the majority of people believe that a supernatural Being (we'll call Him God) does exist. In other words, believers in a God of some sort outnumber unbelievers.

Many people believe that there are thousands of gods, not just one: though they will readily agree that over and above the lesser gods is One Almighty God (Allah). Allah is the standard Arabic name for "God." The term is best known in the west for its use by Muslims as a reference to God. Arabic speakers of all faiths, including Christians and Jews, use the word Allah to mean "God." The Muslim and Christian Arabs of today have no other word for "God" than Allah.

In Islam, Allah (SWT) is the only deity, transcendent creator of the universe, and the judge of humankind. Some Islamic scholars feel that "Allah (SWT)" should not be translated, because they perceive the Arabic word to express the uniqueness of "Allah (SWT)"more accurately than the word "god" for two reasons: 1.The word "god" can take a plural form "gods", whereas the word "Allah (SWT)" has no plural form.

📌The word "god" can have gender as male god or female god (called goddess) whereas the word "Allah (SWT)" does not have gender. (Note: Subhanahu wa Ta'ala is an Islamic Arabic phrase meaning, "glorious and exalted is He (Allah)." This phrase often abbreviated to "SWT.") In this booklet we will try to prove the existence of God with simple logic and small stories.

One important point we need to understand in the first place is that the existence of God can not be proved in the same way, as you prove the existence of a physical object. This is simply because God is not a physical object. Any physical object is subject to your five senses. In simple terms, you can see, hear, smell, touch or taste a physical object. This is not possible in the case of God, as He is a Transcendental Being [existing on a level beyond our sensual perception].
