The Idols of Our Time
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful Throughout history, although people have acknowledged the existence of Allah, they have often fallen into the grave mistake of associating partners with Him. From the people of Noah, ‘Ād and Thamūd, to the society of Nimrod in the time of Prophet Abraham (peace be upon him), many nations have worshipped idols and taken them as deities. The Qur’an describes this situation as follows: “They worship besides Allah thin

The Attribute of Pre-Eternity (Qidam) of Allah, the Exalted
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful One of the fundamental principles of Islamic creed (‘Aqīdah) is that Allah, the Exalted, is eternal and everlasting.

The Manifestations of Allah’s Names in the Universe
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful The universe is a gallery of divine art where Allah’s attributes of power, wisdom, and mercy are manifested. Every being reflects the names and attributes of Allah for those who have the eyes to see. The Holy Qur’an repeatedly calls upon humankind to observe the universe and recognize therein the divine signs: إِنَّ فِي خَلْقِ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَاخْتِلَافِ اللَّيْلِ وَالنَّهَارِ لَآيَاتٍ لِأُولِي الْأَلْبَ

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful Allah the Exalted declares in the Qur’an that He created jinn and humankind only to worship Him. وَمَا خَلَقْتُ الْجِنَّ وَالْاِنْسَ اِلَّا لِيَعْبُدُونِ “I did not create the jinn and humankind except to worship Me.” [ Surah Adh-Dhāriyāt 51:56 ] In this verse, the word “worship” (ʿibādah) is also interpreted as knowing Allah , that is, attaining Maʿrifatullāh (knowledge of Allah). The use of the word “only” (

Proofs of God's Existence in the Universe
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful Everything that exists apart from Allah (Glorious is He) is called the ‘ālam (the universe). The universe is a sign ( ‘alamah ) of the existence of the Creator. The term ‘ālam means mā siwā Allāh — everything other than Allah. What we perceive with our senses belongs to this domain. For something to be visible to our eyes, it must have limits; that is, our vision must be able to encompass it. However, Allah cann

What Does Qur’an Say About Mountains?
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful In order for the earth to be suitable for habitation, the layers of the earth first shifted toward each other and stacked on top of one another. The stronger parts formed the mountains, while the weaker parts extended downward, forming the subterranean roots of the mountains.[1] This situation resembles a stake driven into the ground. وَالْجِبَالَ أَوْتَادًا "Have We not made the mountains as pegs?"

Why couldn't they find God?
In the name of Allah, the beneficent, the merciful As with everything, when people do not know how to use their possessions properly, very surprising and disastrous results may occur. For example, our digestive system exists for food. You can eat apples, you can eat meat. But you can't eat glass, for example. You can't eat construction nails. If thinking and contemplation are used for direction, they will reach useful and correct results. These systems are also lin
