Dear Readers,
The
human beings live in an "order"
that we call the universe. This organization
has a unique and perfect structure. Everything is created in its proper place,
given a creation purpose, equipped in accordance with the creation purpose, and
correlated in the best way within the order.
This "order" is a physical structure that
can be seen and felt so; there are not any problems in the understanding of
the order. The real problem is understanding the creator and organizer of the order, because the Creator, organizer and
ruler of the order does not resemble the order. He
cannot be seen or touched. Therefore,
understanding of Allah (Swt) can only be possible by mind.
Faith
and Unbelief is in fact the problem of comprehending "the owner of the order". The hadith ordered that:
"A person without mind doesn't
have faith." (Tirmizi)
"The mind is a part of
faith." (Bayhaqi)
# The prettiest thing for Allah
(Swt): Faith
On the other hand,
everything in the order is mortal. Their existences depend on their Creator's
will.
The
changeless reality is the One who creates, manages, and enables its continuity;
briefly, the "owner of the
order". The main and absolute reality is He.
Faith and Unbelief, which can only be comprehended by
mind, is the meaning of comprehending this ultimate reality in religion
terminology. Faith means
accepting this reality, believing, and trusting, while Unbelief means not
accepting and ignoring this reality.
Allah
(swt), who is the creator and owner of the order, has not left everything to
the perception of the weak human, but informed the humankind of His existence
with His Messengers. Allah
(swt) both informed the human about the creatures that cannot be perceived by
five senses, about the orders and prohibitions, and conveyed the provisions that will carry the human to the best level of maturity and make him happy in the world and
hereafter. If a person does not accept the existence of
his Creator and ignore Allah (swt), it is certainly not forgivable.
Therefore,
"Unbelief" is the most
unpleasant behavior and "faith"
is the most pleasant behavior for Allah (swt). It is ordered in the verses from the Qur'an that:
"As
to those who reject faith,
I will punish them with severe agony in this world and
in the Hereafter, nor will they have anyone to help." (Imran, 56)
"As
to those who believe and work righteousness, Allah will pay them (in full)
their reward; but Allah loveth not those who do wrong." (Imran, 57)
May Allah (swt) make us
amongst the ones who can comprehend His existence, not the cruel people who
ignore the truth.
# How should we believe in a god?
Dear Readers,
If
there is a "production", it is a logical necessity that there is an
"operative" who created the production. If there is an "organization", there must be an
"organizer" that enables the organization. If
there are rules, there must be a "rule maker". As
regards to the universe we live in, it is a perfect production and a unique order that
works with perfect rules. While the simplest productions must have producers, is it possible to
think that a perfect order can be without an organizer?
Therefore,
there is a logical and mental necessity to accept the existence of Allah (swt).
Throughout
history, with a few exceptions almost the entire human believed in a Creator
because of this logical necessity. However, the imagination of the Creator is different
for all people and everybody imagined a "God" in accordance to their
understanding. Some people idolized, some
consider as having daughters and sons, while some people thought that the Sun
or the Moon is God.
We must
know Allah (Swt) as He introduces Himself. The most trustable resources are Qur'an and authentic
Hadiths, on this subject.
Several
companions of Muhammad served as scribes and
were responsible for writing down the revelations. Qur'an was memorized by hundreds
of hafizs. Gabriel alayhissalaam and
Rasulullah verified by reading face to face in every Ramadan month, every
year. The control continues yet during Ramadan
within reciprocations at mosques by all of the Muslims. Also
Qur'an was recited in every prayers of all Muslims in every place and every time. Therefore, any fault or
mistake cannot be included in Qur'an. Even a small
mistake will become evident immediately.
Qur'an is the last divine book. Qur'an is the most
accurate and securest divine resource.
Allah (swt) ordered for Qur'an that:
"We have, without doubt, sent down the
Message; and We will assuredly guard it (from corruption)." (Hijr, 9)
"Say: He is Allah, the
One." (Ikhlas, 1)
"He
begetteth not, nor is He begotten." (Ikhlas, 3)
"And
there is none like unto Him." (Ikhlas, 4)
"No son did Allah beget, nor is
there any god along with Him: (if there were many gods), behold, each god would
have taken away what he had
created, and some would have lorded it over others! Glory
to Allah. (He is free) from the (sort of) things they attribute to Him." (Muminun, 91)
"They say:
"(Allah) hath begotten a son" :Glory be to Him.-Nay, to Him belongs
all that is in the heavens and on earth: everything renders worship to Him." (Baqarah, 116)
"They
disbelieved who say: Allah is one of three (in a Trinity): for
there is no god except One God. If they desist not from their word (of
blasphemy), verily a grievous chastisement will befall the disbelievers among
them." (Maída, 73)
"The
Jews call Uzair a son
of Allah, and the Christians call Christ the son of
Allah. That is a saying from their mouth; (in this) they but imitate what the
unbelievers of old used to say. Allah's curse be on them: how they are deluded
away from the Truth!" (Tauba,
30)
