 الحمد لله رب العالمين له الحمد الحسن والثناء الجميل وأشهد أن لا إله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له يقول الحق وهو يهدي السبيل وأشهد أن سيدنا ونبينا محمد صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وأصحابه والتابعين لهم بإحسان إلى يوم الدين أما بعد عقيدة means what the creed and the belief of a Muslim and today's class insha'Allah وإتعالى we're going to start with the evidence for Allah's existence does Allah exist many of you guys have asked me this question we spoke about it الأدلة على وجود الله the evidence the proofs that Allah سبحانه وإتعالى He exists to me generally I don't like this concept where you have to prove Allah's existence because Allah's existence is self-evident it doesn't need no evidence but it's out of formality insha'Allah وإتعالى that we will go through this insha'Allah وإتعالى الأدلة على وجود رب the way that we're going to go through it is we're going to be using classical text قرآن سنة the Quran and the سنة سنة is the what the hadiths of the Prophet ﷺ leave the questions to the end we leave the questions to what to the end insha'Allah وإتعالى وقد دل على وجود ربي Allah's existence the evidence for it is four things that I mentioned here one, two, three and four these four are what we're going to prove Allah exists number one is الفطرة what does the fitrah mean it means the natural the natural disposition فطرة is the natural disposition the second one is Allah's existence the evidence for it is the intellect any rational individual who uses his mind will see Allah's existence number three الشرع the Islamic legislation proves Allah's existence and the fourth one is empirical evidence الحس empirical evidence and we will bring each one to evidence insha'Allah وإتعالى we're going to bring proofs for it أما دلالة الفطرة as for the fitrah the natural disposition we're going to mention two verses and one hadith the first verse is الله سبحانه وتعالى he said فطرة الله التي فطرة الناس عليها لا تبدين لخلق الله ذلك الدين القيم ولكن أكثر الناس لا يعلمون فطرة الله he placed in every one of us a natural disposition التي فطرة الناس عليها which Allah placed in the people لا تبدين لن تبدين nothing can change لخلق الله's creation ذلك الدين القيم that is the upright religion ولكن أكثر الناس but the overwhelming majority of the people لا يعلمون they don't know also Allah said in another آية وإذا أخذ ربك when your Lord took from you من بني آدمة from the children of Adam من ظهورهم from their backs الله took us out of the back of Nabilah Adam من ظهورهم ذريتهم Nabilah Adam Allah took everyone out of Adam and he brought us out and then Allah said to us all من ظريتهم وأشهدهم على أنفسهم ألا ستب ربكم الله said am I not your Lord to everyone all of us ألا ستب ربكم قالوا بلا everyone said yes of course بلا means what of course شهيدنا أن تقول يوم القيامة إننا كنا عن هذا غافلين أو تقول إنما أشرك آباءنا من قبل وكننا به ذرية من بعدهم فتولكن بما فعل المرطلون وكذلك نفصل ولا عليهم يرجعون so what did we all say what did we all say when Allah asked us this question ألا ستب ربكم am I not your Lord what did we say we all said of course we all said بلا the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم the messenger said مام المولود there is no buried he is born there is no individual who is born إلا يولد على الفطرة except that he is born upon the natural disposition فأبواه his two parents you have with Danny they make him a Jew أو يُنصرانه or they make him a Christian أو يُمجسانه or they make him a fire worshiper but the hadith did not say أو يُسلمانه they make him a Muslim because every child is born upon Islam every child is a Muslim because that is the natural disposition that is the what? that is the natural disposition if an atheism is a parasite upon upon Islam upon theism we have the Haq okay بخاري and Muslim both narrated that so the default is that theism believing in Allah's existence is what was already there and atheism came after الله الله doesn't need to be proven he is self evident anyone who claims otherwise needs to bring proofs and evidence أما دلالة العقل على وجود الله تبارك وتعالى now we are going to use rational evidence that prove Allah's existence عقل الله said in the Quran so here I said والاستدلال بها على طرق كثير بحسب تنوع الآيات الله's existence rationally there are many ways we could prove that but the two most famous the two most well known approaches is دلالة العفوص and دلالة العفاق دلالة العفوص and دلالة العفاق what does دلالة العفوص mean? you are an evidence that Allah exists you are an evidence that Allah exists and that's what Allah said in the ayah وفي أنفسكم أفلاة تبصيرون وفي أنفسكم in yourselves أفلاة تبصيرون do you not see you are an evidence that Allah exists that's called دلالة العفوص every individual is an evidence that Allah exists the second way is دلالة العفوص the second way is دلالة العفاق the universal signs are what what are they they are evidence that Allah exists that's why Allah said سنرهم آياتنا في الأفاق وفي أنفسهم حتى يتبين لهم yeah أنفسكم جزاك الله خيرا الله says سنرهم آياتنا في الأفاق وفي أنفسكم حتى يتبين لهم أنه الحق حتى يتبين له حتى يتبين لهم أنه الحق الله said سنرهم we will show them آياتنا our universal signs في الأفاق yeah what did I say it's anphysium صح I was I wrote anphysicum so I was wrote originally yeah سنرهم we will show them آياتنا our signs في الأفاق in the universal signs وفي أنفسهم and in them we will show them the universal signs the universal signs حتى يتبين until it becomes clear to them أنه الحق that Allah is the truth that He does exist there was two men that sat down two men sat down and they started to talk to one another everyone listen to the story two men sat down and they started to talk to one another one said to the other if only it was written in the sky لا إله إلا الله محمد الرسول الله if it was written in the sky then everyone would believe and it would be easy to prove Allah exists because it's written on the sky that's what one of the men said the other man replied and he said to him that's a very good idea it's a very good idea لا إله إلا الله محمد الرسول الله and write it on the sky so everyone can see it that is a good idea he said but he said what language do you want it to be written in what language do you want it to be written in the man went quiet because even if we say in English English itself has standards what type of language within the English do you want the eloquent form of English what type of English do you want and then in the subcontinent there's so many languages that are spoke and then in Arabic there is many different dialects that are used so what language would you want when the man couldn't respond he said how about if I tell you that Allah has written already in every one of us لا إله إلا الله محمد الرسول الله that he's already carved in us and that's when he used the ayah سنريهم آياتنا في الأفاق وفي أنفسهم حتى يتبين لهم حتى يتبين لهم أنه الحق it's already written inside us it's already there and that is the concept of the fitrah I didn't read that part yet أنه الحق أو لم يكفي بربك أنه على كل شيء شهيد now we're gonna go we've done the fitrah and we've done the العقل now we're gonna do الشرع عن الحس أما دلالة الشرع على وجود على وجود الله تبارك وتعالم now we're gonna look at the evidences in the sharia to prove Allah's existence سبحانه سبحانه وتعالم الله says ألاله الخلق والأمر تبارك الله رب العالمين الله تبارك وتعالى says ألاله الخلق is it not for Allah الخلق creating والأمر and the commanding is it not for him تبارك اقزالت is your تبارك اقزالت is what الله is exalted رب العالمين the Lord of the universe here we wanna ponder ألاله الخلق is the creating نقف الله is it not the one who creates the answer is what بلا of course أو الله you are the only one who creates you're the only one who creates الله سبحانه وتعالى here اليمام أحمد رحمه الله he took from this ayah that the Quran is not created that the Quran is not is not created because the Quran is the speech of Allah and the speech of Allah is not created وإناحد من المشيكين استجارك فأجيره حتى يسمع حتى يسمع كلام الله ثم أبلغه ثم أبلغه مأمنة إمام أحمد said الله distinguish between الخلق والأمر الخلق is what us أن الأمر is the Quran two different things والواو في أصل اللغة تقطض المغايرة and the wow in the original in the original usage of the Arabic language it shows that these two are two separate entities two separate things الخلق is one thing and الأمر is another thing so the Quran is not created that's a side benefit but what we initially wanted from the verse is what الله is the one who created and then even in the Shari'a we see that وقال تعالى الله also said يا أيها الناس oh people عبدو واشب ربكم يولود الذي دوان خلقكم that created you والذين and the ones من قبلكم that came before you he created them لعلكم لكيت التقوى so you can come with تقوى لعلكم يدوى لكيت التقوى so you can come with تقوى and then the evidence that we want to take from the ayah is يا أيها الناس عبدو ربكم الذي خلقكم the one who created you واشب الله alone why are you going to worship him alone for because he created you he's the only one who created you and so you're going to go and you're going to worship one that didn't create you it doesn't make sense it's a logical absurdity the last of the evidence to prove Allah's existence is دلالة الحس دلالة الحس is what empirical evidence what does empirical evidence mean that which we can see that which we can touch على وجود الله تبارك وتعالى in the existence of Allah تبارك وتعالى فمن وجهيني it's from two the his is two ways the empirical evidence is from two ways the first one is نانا نسمع ونشاهد من إجابة الداعين وغوث المقروبين ما يدلوا دلالة تنقاطع على وجوده we hear and we what what do we hear about we hear about and we even see Allah accepting the dua of people do we not see people's dua be accepted yeah Allah accept say dua does people make dua or Allah bring back my eyesight and Allah brings it back for them there are people promise Allah oh Allah if you do this for me I promise you oh Allah I will do this and Allah does it for them this is a sign that there is a creator and these are empirical evidence we can see it how we are going to ignore it and that's what Allah said اذا تستغيثون ربكم فستجاب لكم when you called on to your Lord in need what did he do فستجاب لكم he accepted your supplication he accepted your dua and he gave you what you wanted this was in the battle of that's the battle of better the second way the second form of the empirical evidence is نعيات الانبياء التي تسمى المعجزات ويشاهدها الناس يسمعون بها براهين قاطع على وجودين the signs the miracles that the prophets came with نبي اللهي محمد didn't he come with a miracle he came with many miracles the miracles in which the prophets come with not just نبي اللهي محمد but all of the previous prophets the miracles that they came with is an indication that this is from what that there is a creator because prophets they came with معجزات they didn't come with magic what did they come with miracles معجزات the معجزات is from Allah the magic is from shaitan is from shaitan and that's what Allah said in the ayah فأوحينا إلى موسى أن يضرب عصاك البحرة فانفلق فكان كل فرق كالطوط العظيم الله said فأوحينا إلى موسى we sent down a revelation on نبي الله موسى what did we say to him أن يضرب عصاك hit your stick on the side of the on the sea أن يضرب عصاك البحرة فانفلق and then it split into two the ocean فانفلق فكان كل فرق كالطوط العظيم each one of those water this side and that side what did it become like a big huge mountain big this was a what معجزة it was a معجزة من اندلها عزوة جلأ it came from Allah all of those are evidences to prove Allah's existence that Allah does exist سبحانه وتعالى does everyone understand is what I said crystal clear was my class understood very well anything which I said that was wrong or incorrect it from me a shaitan and Allah and his messenger are free from it سبحانك اللهم بحمدك أشهد الله إلا الله أستغفرك وأتوب إلي
