[b]Allah's Existence and Attributes[/b]
Properscientific reasoning can be agreed upon as the only way to reach thetruth of Allah's existence and attributes by all people (including thebelievers and the atheists). Since every one agrees that every actionhas a doer and every thing happens for a reason, nothing can be anexception to that rule; nothing comes out of nowhere and nothinghappens for no reason. Examples of that are countless and evident. Theentire universe including the living or the inanimate, the static andthe mobile have been created from nothing. Common sense and scienceconfirm that if there was some one who had created the universe whetherHis name is Allah, the Creator, or the Originator, it would not changethe fact that the whole universe gives enough evidence to the existenceof the Creator.
Studyingand following up the Creator's work and products (creatures) is the wayto get to know His attributes. For instance, a book signifies theknowledge, experience, culture, style, mentality and the ability toachievement and analysis of its writer. The manufactures give a vividimage and a comprehensive idea of its manufacturer's attributes. Ifpeople used this scientific reasoning in their approach to the universeand its creatures, they would be able to see the attributes of theCreator, the beauty of seas, the balance of the universe and the systemof its movement, all the knowledge man has reached, nature, theaccuracy of cells and the wise reasons behind its details made by theCreator. All of them demonstrate the Creator's greatness, knowledge andwisdom.
Whetherpeople agreed or not upon the wise reasons behind the existence of theuniverse or the pains and hardships in life, that would not change theresult, concluded by the scientific reasoning which confirms theexistence of the Great Creator, the Almighty, the All-Knowing and the Wise who believers agree to call Allah, the Almighty.
