Summary
The existence of Allah is explained through the human instinct of needing God, especially in times of hardship such as a storm at sea. The universe, the heavens and the earth also point to a powerful Creator, since creation cannot exist without a beginning. Allah's existence is established by many textual and rational proofs, and readers are encouraged to consult books of tawhid and creed for further discussion.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Merasakan kewujudan Allah adalah fitrah manusia sebagai contoh bilamana manusia berada di lautan dalam keadaan ujian dengan ombak dan badai yang mengganas akan terus ia ingatkan kepada Allah untuk memohon pertolongan.
