The Proof of God

Many are the people who ask this question. 

Many are the people who conclude there is none. 

But it is their approach that is fundamentally wrong. For GOD is not the ONE to be questioned. 

Rather HE is the greatest, most supreme and most wondrous of assumptions. 

To assume HIM is to believe, and proof comes only afterwards in our thoughts and actions. And it is that assumption and belief that changes man in wondrous ways that no other thing can. 

In the words of Al-Qur'an (S. Maun, neighbourly kindness) "See you not he who denies the religion? Does he not shun the orphan-child, and does he not disregard the poor?". 

To believe in GOD is to leave off the narrowness of this World, and enter the vastness of the World to come. 

For such a person that does not mean that they feel no pain, and that they do not grieve. But only that their pain and grief is tempered by a certainty of it's limitedness. 

And more importantly that they are able to give far more than any other man ever could. 

For man, in essence, is a self-interested being. And how can he truly give selflessly, without even a regard for reward or acclaim, unless he believes in God. How great is GOD, how magnanimous and generous is HE and how abundantly good HE is! 

And to God, most gracious, is the final return of all. 

For a true Muslim this certainty is not a cause of bigotry, for he is all to aware of the supremacy of GOD and the frailties of himself. 

He is fully aware that pride, arrogance and hypocrisy can be the downfall of even the best of us. And that GOD, most gracious, loves best those who do good to the people. This he continually reads in the Qur'an. 

And this the believer knows is without exception, or qualification, for all men except those who wantonly do wrong. 

Precisely because he remembers the words of GOD, most gracious, kept in the famous ahadith qudsi... "Was I not thirsty, and you did not water me. Was I not hungry and you did not feed me. Was I not in need of shelter and you did not house me!" (*1) 

To end, God, most gracious, is the greatest assumption a man can ever make. 

To believe is to change your life in ways no other thing can. 

To believe is to live and die happy, even that is when other people might consider your circumstances strained. 

To believe is to free yourself from worry, to believe enables you to give happily. 

 Your brother, Shafees.
