The evidence of Allah’s
existence and his oneness:

The Proof of The Fitrah-

Every creature has been created in a state of belief in his
Creator without anyone forcing them to believe in anything. No
one discourages from what is told by this Fitrah ( the belief in
Allah), except the one who has been influenced to not believe in
the Fitrah.

As the Prophet explained when he said:

ُعن ابي هريرة : قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم(كُلُّ مَوْلُودٍ يُولَدُ عَلَى الْفِطْرَةِ فَأَبَوَاهُ يُهَوِّدَانِهِ أَوْ يُنَصِّرَانِهِ أَوْ يُمَجِّسَانِهِ

“Each child is born in a state of “Fitrah,” but
his parents make him a Jew, Christian or Magian.”

When a child is born, it has with it a natural belief
in God. This natural belief is called in Arabic the
“Fitrah”.[1] If the child were left alone, it would
grow up aware of God in His oneness

The Proof of Reasoning

when you consider the universe it will lead you to
believe that it came from a creator. When you ask
a sensible person do you believe that cars, machines
, and planes created themselves? They would say no.
What about the universe, including the heavens,
oceans, trees and lands, and the solar system, none
of these things were created by accident. They all
came from a creator, Allah

A Bedouin was asked how did you recognised ALLAH?
He said dung is an indication of an animal in the area;
the footprints are an indication of somebody having
walked there; so, aren't the heavens full of stars and
the earth full of mountains, signs of the One
All-Knower, All-Aware?

Multiple Choice

This natural belief is called in Arabic the “Fitrah”

• True

• False

All the prophets and the holy books spread and
contained information that guided people to rules which
if they follow will benefit them in this life and the life
after. And the evidence of this information shows it
came from an all wise creator Allah.

The proof from the Quran and Holy books-
