About God

 God Almighty is distinct from His creation; nothing of Him resides in it,[1] nor is there any of His creation in Him. This motif has been reiterated by all Muslims theologians to confirm that there is no place in Islam for belief in God being inherent in His own creation,  a concept known as God’s omnipresence, […]

Our Innate Nature (fitrah) This whole idea of basic beliefs, of self-evident truths concerning God’s existence, is in line with the Islamic theological tradition concerning the fitrah.  The fitrah is an Arabic word that essentially means the natural state, the innate nature, or the innate disposition of the human being.  This innate nature acknowledges God

Objection #2: Wasn’t the belief in a flat earth once self evidently true? Another objection is the belief that the earth was flat.  This was once a self-evident truth, it was a basic belief.  As science has progressed we have found that this is not the case.  We now know that the world is round. 

Does God exist? This is the question I’ve constantly discussed with Atheist academics.  The discussion is often put forward in different guises but the premise is always the same; does God exist and what evidence is there to support this belief?

Abba of the Bible Christians refer to God as Father in their creeds, prayers, and liturgy.  God, the Father, is seen as one of the three persons of Trinity.  They believe that the Father has a Son, Jesus.  Christians think they alone have a personal relationship, both with the Father and the Son.  Abba is said to be

Revelation A simpler way of providing evidence for God’s oneness is by referring to revelation.  The argument here is that if God has announced himself to humanity and this revelation can be proven to be from Him, then what He mentions about himself is obviously true.  The daring assumptions, from an agnostic perspective at least,

Logical Argument Logic necessitates that if there were more than one God who created the universe it would be in chaos and there would not be the level of order we find in the cosmos.  However you may point out that your car was made by more than one creator, one person fitted the wheels,

One of the many common questions that were asked during the Islamic Awareness Tour was “If God does exist what reasons do we have to believe He is one?” This question is important as it addresses a fundamental concept in Islamic theology, the concept of God’s oneness.  The oneness of God, in Arabic Tawhid, is a
