There are really four pieces of evidence. In common language: “Proofs”

  • Cosmological Argument – or Cause and Effect.
  • Teleological Argument – or Intelligent Design
  • The Lives & Actions of Certain Human Beings.
  • Miracles given to The Prophets by Almighty God – Today’s Miracle = The Qur’an

COSMOLOGICAL ARGUMENT - OR CAUSE AND EFFECT

Causality, The Principle of Cause and Effect Put simply:

  • Everything that begins to exist must have a cause.
  • The Universe began to exist.
  • Therefore, The Universe had a cause.

If the Universe did not have a cause it can only mean:

  1. It Created Itself
  2. It Always Existed

Is that possible?

  1. Things cannot exist and not exist at the same time. Therefore it cannot create itself.

2.  Everything must have a beginning because things cannot go back forever; it’s just illogical. Now we have The Big Bang Theory which gives a start to EVERYTHING!

 BUT…“If The Universe needs a cause, then why doesn’t God need a cause?”

The answer is that if God needs a Creator, and then that Creator needs another Creator, and so on. Which means you will never come to a starting point (this is called Infinite Regress). Therefore there has to be a Creator who is NOT created!

 Who Made God?

Space and Time are linked together in this Universe. This is called a Space-Time -Continuum. Scientists/Physicists agree that with the beginning of the Universe it wasn’t just matter that came to being, but time itself started! Therefore if something is outside this Universe, it would be outside our Time-Frame and it may be outside Time altogether. – This doesn’t prove the existence of a Creator but it gives rise to the possibility of a Creator who is outside Time and therefore does not have a beginning and therefore does not need a Creator!

TELEOLOGICAL ARGUMENT - OR INTELLIGENT DESIGN

The Design Argument is saying that the Universe is so finely balanced and so finely tuned that somebody must have designed it that way!

The Key words are ‘Fine-Tuning’

The Fine-Tuning of The Universe has to be either due to:

  • Physical Necessity
  • Chance
  • Design.

Physical Necessity :  It is not Physically Necessary. In other words the Universe does not have to be the way it is. It could be lots of other ways and it would still be A Universe but not the one we know.

Chance :  It is (almost) impossible for the Universe to be like it is by chance as Professor Roger Penrose has calculated. (Professor of Mathematics at Oxford University, U.K., and a Nobel Prize Laureate in Physics.)

Our Universe is a ‘Low Entropy’ Universe. (Entropy is a measure of the degree of disorder of The Universe.) The probability of a Low Entropy Universe like this, says Professor Penrose, is:

‘10 to the power of 10 and all of this to the power 123: To One!’ (10 ­10 )  123   :   1

Professor Penrose is The Professor of Mathematics at Oxford University. See his book ‘The Emperor’s New Mind’- 1989.

Design : Therefore, it appears probable that the Universe has been designed.

THE LIVES & ACTIONS OF CERTAIN HUMAN BEINGS

Throughout history there have been some incredibly good people. These people led very good, honest and decent lives. At some point in their life they said that ‘God’ had communicated with them in some way. They went out and gave this message. As a consequence of giving this message, they were persecuted and their followers were also persecuted and sometimes they were killed. They gained no material or worldly benefit from this message. They usually lived very simple, modest lives and were not interested in material wealth.  They all gave the same identical message. The question is why did they do this?

The possibilities are:

Altruism – They were being altruistic – i.e. they wanted to help people and society

Delusion – They were deluded – i.e. they had some psychological problems

True Prophet hood –  They were indeed Prophets of Almighty God

  1. Altruism : Altruism would mean that they were just lying, to help others. If they were lying then this would go against their character and their teachings. People would have seen their dishonesty.
  1. Delusion : If they had some psychological problems such as delusion, Megalomania, Schizophrenia, then again their characters would have shown this. However we see that their characters were impeccable and beyond criticism.
  1. True Prophet Hood : Therefore the only option is that they were indeed Prophets or Messengers of Almighty God. These were people like The Prophets: Abraham, Noah, Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad (PBUT) – to name just a few.

MIRACLES GIVEN TO THE PROPHETS BY ALMIGHTY GOD

Today’s Miracle = The Qur’an

Almighty God sent ‘The Prophets’ with miracles, by which people could recognize that these people were true Prophets.

The Miracle that can be seen today is the miracle of The Qur’an.  (A book revealed to Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)).

How can a book be a miracle, after all we have: Shakespeare, Dickens, and Harry Potter?

Evidence that The Qur’an is a Miracle & therefore from God – therefore there is a God.

There are many reasons why The Qur’an is a miracle. Only fifteen are listed below:   

  • The Qur’an is over 1400 years old – yet has remained unchanged; this fact is accepted by all (almost all) Scholars.

This is something promised in the Qur’an itself.

  • Contains many ‘Scientific Statements’ [Scientifically accurate statements] even though the book is 1400 hundred years old. All of these statements are 100% correct (That is when it comes to ‘Established science’).

For example, The Qur’an:

  • Describes embryology (See. Qur’an 23:13-14.) – This is explained by Professor Keith Moore, from Toronto University.

See Professor Keith Moore on ‘YouTube’. He is Professor of Anatomy, specializing in embryology at The University of Toronto – Canada. He is highly acclaimed and has won many International Prizes for his work on embryology.           

  • Explains How The Universe Started with an initial mass [lump] which then separated to form the Universe. Today we call this ‘The Big Bang Theory’ (Qur’an translated -Surah 21 Verse 30)
  • The Expanding Universe (Qur’an translated Surah 51 Verse 47). The Quran correctly mentions that the Universe is Expanding. Until very recently ‘The Steady State model’ was accepted, that describes a Universe which is constant and has always been like that.
  • How Gravity (or Mass) Works. The Qur’an mentions that The Sun and The Moon are swimming in their orbits.(Qur’an translated Surah 36, Verse 40)

Therefore two things are mentioned:

  • Circular or elliptical movements.

To swim would require a medium or substance to swim in. We NOW know that ‘empty’ space is filled with dark-energy and dark-matter Higgs-Boson particles form part of this. Just as bodies with clothes in a swimming–pool would have water sticking to them and adding mass. Similarly, matter in space has mass because of the Higgs-Boson. Also the movement of The Sun (around the Milky-Way) and the planets is indeed circular/elliptical.

  • Construction of Mountains. The Qur’an correctly describes two characteristics of mountains.
    • They have deep roots.
    • They have the effect of reducing the shaking of the surface of the Earth. (Qur’an translated, Surah 6 Verse 7, surah 21 Verse 31).

Geologists agree with the above statements.

Effect of Mountains on the Earth [Indicates the presence of Plates, Plate-Tectonics] See Qur’an 78:6-7, 16:15

  • The Water Cycle (Qur’an translated Surah 7 Verse 57). This is obvious to us now, but was not known at the time of The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).
  • Just as miraculous is the fact that even though The Qur’an mentions many diverse subjects and is 1400 years old (on Earth), it contains NO errors. This is mentioned by Professor Jeffrey Lang, – Prof of Mathematics at a University in the USA.
  • Is Easy to Memorise Completely – At least 10 Million people have memorised the complete Qur’an; even though most of these people can’t even speak Arabic!

In The Qur’an it says:   “…made easy to remember” (Qur’an 44:58)

  • Given to an Unlettered Prophet The Book was given to a man (The Prophet Muhammad PBUH) who could neither read nor write as was God’s Plan. This is mentioned in the Qur’an and his enemies did not accuse him of lying. No one ever saw him read or write! see Qur’an 7:157
  • The Words have the effect of positively changing peoples’ lives. Many studies have shown that people who believe in ‘God’ are a lot happier and less likely to suffer from anxiety stress and depression. This is especially true of ‘The Qur’an’. 
  • Contains no Contradictions. There is not a single contradiction in the Qur’an even though it was revealed over a 23 year period a little bit at a time. It is also important to remember that the Quran was revealed according to situation, circumstance and sometimes in answer to questions that were asked. Therefore it would make it difficult to make it consistent and co-ordinated.
  • Linguistic Miracle – The way that the Arabic Language is used is Powerful and Inimitable. It’s the way words have been constructed and used. The construction of the sentences, paragraphs and Chapters [Surahs].
  • Contains a Challenge from God. Challenges mankind to produce one Surah Like it.

    The Qur’an says that this can NEVER be done :


A challenge like this from a human being would be a very arrogant and impossible to uphold. Only Almighty God  who is outside our ‘Space- Time’ continuum could say such a statement and it would remain true.

  • The effect of The Book has been to produce-‘The Largest Practiced Religion‘– 1.9 Billion followers 
  • It has also produced ‘The Fastest Growing Religion’ (According to The Pew Institute in The USA)
  • Many Historical events that happened before Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) are mentioned – all of these have been shown to be completely accurate, even though the Qur’an may sometimes differ from The Bible.
  • Events that happened after The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) left The Earth i.e. Prophecies – have all come true. 
  • Qur’an Explains How Religions started – again it is 100% accurate.
  • The Qur’an contains: An Economic, Social & Welfare system. All of these are still applicable & needed today. 

Further more:

  • The Muslims believe The Qur’an to be Almighty God’s words, given to The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) via The Holy Spirit (Angel Gabriel).
  • The Qur’an says it is from Allah (S.W.T): “The revelation of the Book (Qur’an) is from The Lord of the Alamin” (Qur’an 21:2)
  • There is only ONE version of The Quran!
  • By any measurement The Qur’an sets the highest of moral standards and it contains nothing which could be regarded as bad. “An Arabic Qur’an without any crookedness” (Qur’an 39:28)
