Do you beleive in GOD?

Question

is you do why do you?

and if you dont why don't you?

Answer 1

Praise be to Allaah.

Yes I do believe in One God and Only One.

Why do I do?? Because of prooves ...

With regard to proof of the existence of Allaah, it is obvious to anyone who ponders the matter, and there is no need for a lengthy discussion. When we ponder the matter, we find out that it is divided into three categories: instinctive evidence, tangible evidence and shar’i evidence. We will explain that to you further, in sha Allaah.

1 – Instinctive evidence:

Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen said:

The instinctive evidence that God exists is the strongest of all evidence for those who are not led astray by the devils. Hence Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“So set you (O Muhammad) your face towards the religion (of pure Islamic Monotheism) Haneef (worship none but Allaah Alone). Allaah’s Fitrah (i.e. Allaah’s Islamic Monotheism) with which He has created mankind”
[al-Room 30:30]

Man’s sound nature (fitrah) testifies to the existence of God and man cannot turn away from that unless the devils mislead him; whoever is misled by the devils may not recognize this evidence.”

(From Sharh al-Safaareeniyyah)

Every person feels inside himself that he has a Lord and Creator, and he feels that he is in need of Him; if some major calamity befalls him he turns his hands, eyes and heart towards the heavens, seeking help from his Lord.

2 – Tangible evidence:

This refers to the things that exist in this universe; we see around us things that exist, such as trees, rocks, mankind, the earth, the heavens, seas, rivers…

If it is asked: these things are so many – who created them and is taking care of them?

The answer is that if these things came into being by accident, spontaneously and with no cause, then there is no one who knows how they were created, and that is one possibility. But there is another possibility, which is that these things created themselves and are taking care of themselves. And there is a third possibility, which is that there is Someone Who created them. When we look at these three possibilities, we find that the first and the second are impossible. If we reject the first and the second, then the third must be the one which is correct, which is that these things have a Creator who created them, and that Creator is Allaah. This is what is stated in the Qur’aan, where Allaah says:

“Were they created by nothing? Or were they themselves the creators?

Or did they create the heavens and the earth? Nay, but they have no firm Belief”
[al-Toor 52:35]

Moreover, when were these mighty things created? For all these years, who is it that has decreed that they should remain in this world and has granted them the means of abiding?

The answer is, it is Allaah who has given to each thing that which is suited to it and will guarantee its survival. Do you not see the beautiful green plants; when Allaah cuts off their water supply, can they live? No, rather they become dry stalks. If you ponder all things you will find that they are dependent upon Allaah. Were it not for Allaah, nothing would remain.

And Allaah has created everything to do that for which it is suited. So camels, for example, are for riding. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“Do they not see that We have created for them of what Our Hands have created, the cattle, so that they are their owners.

And We have subdued them unto them so that some of them they have for riding and some they eat”
[Yaa-Seen 36:71-72]

Look at the camel and how Allaah has created it strong, with a strong back, so that it can be used for riding and it is able to endure harsh conditions which other animals cannot bear.

If you look at other creatures you will find that they are suited to the purposes for which they were created. Glory be to Allaah.

Examples of tangible evidence include the following:

When calamities befall people this points to the existence of the Creator, for example, when they call upon Allaah and Allaah responds to their prayer; this points to the existence of Allaah. Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen said: “When the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) prayed for rain, he said, ‘Allaahumma aghithnaa, Allaahumma aghithnaa (O Allaah, send us rain, O Allaah, send us rain).’ Then a cloud came and it started to rain before he had even come down from the minbar. This points to the existence of the Creator.” (Sharh al-Safaareeniyyah).

3 – Shar’i evidence:

All divinely-revealed laws point to existence of Allaah. Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen said:

“All the divinely-revealed laws point to the existence of the Creator and to the perfect nature of His knowledge, wisdom and mercy, because these laws must have been prescribed by someone, and that Lawgiver is Allaah.” (From Sharh al-Safaareeniyyah).

Answer 2

Yep!!!

We don't "prove" it because its beyond all reason. Problem with us is that we tend to rationalize or reason out things to make them logically sensible. Well, why don't they disprove it?

I believe in a single God. The God who made the entire universe and the One who breathed life to us. I just didn't believe in Him because I grew up people telling me He exists, it took time.
There was some point that I doubted Him but it always turned out I knew deep inside that He is there because I have asked Him to show Himself.

A lot of people don't believe. I dunno. But based on my experiences, God exists. There some kind of a mysterious force that touches our hearts beyond the reasoning brain. It's fascinating, wonderful and magical.

Well, the whole cosmos just didn't exist on its own, isn't it?
Even science teaches that if there has to be an effect, there has to be a cause.

Answer 3

Yawn.

What? is you is why you what? Oh, "if".

Yeah. I believe in God because God is.

Get it? God is. and the meaning of "is".... means that God exists. Therefore, I believe.

Try reading the Bible. Like the entire book. Then, as you go, realize that 98% of all the prophecies in the bible were literally fulfilled already. and.... those that haven't been fulfilled are definitely "coming soon to a planet near you".

So, yeah. I believe because the evidence for God is OVERWHELMING. That's a rich theological word that means you'd have to be blind or determined to ignore it, to miss that God is.

Personally have seen and know of many documented miracles. A kid who sat in front of me in church was healed of scoliosis during the service while the pastor was preaching on the manifest "presence" of God. Kid's back was documented as profound scoliosis.

Bam! Healed.

I've seen many things like that. But, not one healing is as miraculous or significant as God's word, the Holy Bible.

Answer 4

What God are you talking about? There are about a thousand different Gods and possible meanings for him. I don't believe in any religious Gods, but something beyond my understanding may possibly exist.

Answer 5

i believe in God off course.why shouldn't i?
here is why i believe in Him;
as a humankind,i knew that something great created me in a good shape of human's body made of sand.i feel feeble/weak,and need something super powerful not only for me but also for all mankind that's also weak.that is God.He made me born and meet my fate.He is the beginning and end of my life i.e.i came from(was created by) Him before i'd been born and will come back to Him after my death.
so i believe in God (God in islam as al khaliq i.e.Allah)

Answer 6

No, I don't believe in any god. To me, I don't understand how a god could claim to be loving and forgiving, and then love me and obey me or you will burn in the pits of hell, allow so much suffering in the world like children starving, wars, needless deaths from a mad man,

Answer 7

I believe in God, The Son, and The Holy Spirit. My belief comes from studying and from personal experience.

Answer 8

Yes, do you?

1.All Biblical prophecy that has been fulfilled to date has been 100% accurate.

2. His Creation testifies about Him

3.Answered prayer etc...

Answer 9

No.



Nobody can prove any gods, much less a specific god, exist. People believe in specific gods because of indoctrination from an early age, tradition, hallucinations, fear of torture (for gods sadistic enough to threaten it) and other similarly illogical reasons. But no gods exist in reality; these are all stories, created for people who were scared of the world long before we understood it. Now we have no more reason for these superstitions.
