Islam and Evidence

Information is a key concept in understanding the universe, science, and life itself. Scientists today are realizing that the universe is formed by "matter, energy and information", replacing the materialistic philosophy of the 19th century. DNA is the most comprehensive example of this, as the information it contains is so vast that it would take up 900 volumes of encyclopedias if written down. This discovery has sent materialism and its theories, such as Darwinism, into a dead end, as it cannot explain how information could be produced by chance. Materialists attempt to reduce information to matter, but this has been proven erroneous as information and matter are two separate domains.

This reveals the importance of an intelligent being as the source of information. Information is a fundamental entity of science that cannot be reduced to matter, and its origin is best explained by an intelligent source. Biology, astronomy, and physics all point to this conclusion, showing the existence of a Mind that existed before matter and created the universe. Modern science has revealed that the universe and life as we know it are created using a blueprint of magnificent information that existed before.

This conclusion aligns with the teachings of divine religions, such as Judaism, Christianity and Islam, which state that God existed before matter and that matter is created and ruled by God's infinite knowledge. The Lawh Mahfuz, mentioned in the Qur'an, is the source of this endless knowledge, containing all the information of the universe and the destinies of all life on earth. The findings of science have proven the truth of divine religion, that God is truly the "All-Knowing".

This episode speaks of how we are all going through a trial, as God tests us with both good and evil. He tests us with fear, hunger, loss of wealth and life, and even our own wealth and children. He does this to test our faith and actions, and He rewards those who are steadfast. God is swift in retribution and ever-forgiving. This reminds us to be aware that we are all going through a trial.

Satan strives to lead believers away from Allah, His religion, and the Quran. He is a sly enemy, capable of seeing believers from where they cannot see him, and employs a variety of methods to ensnare them. He is completely under Allah's control, but can tempt all who are not sincerely devoted to Allah. However, Allah's mercy is greater than Satan's deceit, and He will protect those who trust in Him and repent of their sins. Satan is a constant enemy of man, whose main goal is to lead people astray and make them forget about Allah.

He strives to make people forget their responsibilities to Allah by engaging them in trivial and idle matters, making their wrongdoings seem attractive, and making the life of this world seem alluring. To protect themselves from Satan's whispers and provocations, believers must seek refuge in Allah and remember that He is All-Hearing, All-Seeing. Meanwhile, Allah promises forgiveness and abundance to those who turn towards Him, and His mercy and tranquillity envelopes those who faithfully remember Him. Satan is an enemy of Allah and His believers, as he seeks to deceive people by making them forget their faith and the existence of the hereafter. He is powerless to influence true believers, instead their faith is only reinforced by his actions.

Allah has revealed to us that Satan has no power over the disbelievers, and that if an evil urge from Satan eggs them on, they should seek refuge in Allah. His ultimate goal is to mislead people and guide them to the punishment of the Searing Blaze, and believers should treat him as an enemy.

By reflecting on the Quran and by understanding the verses, one can discover the truth and the actual purpose of his existence. Allah created the world with a purpose and truth, and He has given people the capacity to think and reflect in order to uncover the secrets of His creation. Deep thinking can help people become aware of how quickly life passes and how they will soon depart from the world; it can also help them understand their purpose of existence and the destination they will reach on the Day of Judgment. Therefore, people should strive to think deeply and earnestly in order to grasp the truth and gain in the hereafter. Allah is the source of true understanding and peace. Thinking deeply about His attributes, and living in accordance with His commands, can lead to a deeper appreciation of beauty and a rejection of worldly greed.

The rewards for those who search for the truth and remember Allah in all that they do, are infinite: His love, approval, mercy, and paradise. These blessings are more valuable than any worldly gain, and are reminders to all to reflect on the marvels of Allah's creation.

This episode discusses the Prophet Muhammad's (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) teachings that Allah is the one true God, and that none of the other things people ascribe to him can do any good or harm. He challenges people to produce divine knowledge or a book that predates the Qur'an, or to show him which of their partner gods have created a part of the Earth or have a share in the heavens. Ultimately, Prophet Muhammad (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) teaches that Allah is the Almighty and All-Wise, and that any promises made by wrongdoers are just delusions. In conclusion, the episode emphasizes Allah's power and authority over all things, both in the heavens and on Earth.

The Prophet Muhammad (saas), who reminded his people that Allah was one God, also conveyed in various ways that none of the things which they ascribed as partners to Allah, would harm anyone or do any good. Some of the relevant verses are as follows:

Say: “Pray if you will to those whom you deify besides Him. They cannot relieve your distress nor can they change it.” (Surat al-Isra’, 56)

Say: “Have you pondered on those you invoke besides Allah? Show me what part of the Earth they have created. Or do they have a share in the heavens? Produce a Book for me revealed before this one or some other shred of divine knowledge, if you are telling the truth.” (Surat al-Ahqaf, 4)

Say: “Call on those whom you deify besides Allah. They have no power over even the smallest particle, either in the heavens or on Earth. They have no share in them. Nor has He any helpers among them.” (Surah Saba’, 22)

Say: “Show me those you have appointed to Him as associates. No indeed! Allah alone is the Almighty, the All-Wise.” (Surah Saba’, 27)

Say: “Have you seen your partner gods, those you call upon besides Allah? Show me what part of the Earth they have created, or do they have a share in the heavens?" Have We given them a Book whose Clear Signs they follow? No indeed! The wrongdoers promise each other nothing but delusion. (Surah Fatir, 40)

Allah encompasses all knowledge and power. He created the universe with precise detail, allowing us to comprehend His greatness. His wisdom, knowledge, and might is infinite and encompasses all things, both known and unknown. Through His creation, we can see He has the power to create many different worlds, beings, and situations.

He has predetermined Paradise and Hell, the former being a place of eternal beauty and the latter being a place of unimaginable suffering. Ultimately, we must seek to understand Allah's power and greatness. Allah is infinite in knowledge and power and His might exceeds human understanding. We can only comprehend what He allows us to know. The Quran also reveals that Allah's knowledge is unlimited and His Footstool encompasses the heavens and the earth. We cannot fathom the depth of Allah's knowledge and power, but we can be sure that He is capable of anything.

There is nothing that does not glorify Allah with praise, but you do not understand their glorification. He is Clement, Forgiving. Conscience is a spiritual quality given to us by Allah to guide us towards good behaviour and thought. It is universal, and speaks to all of us in the same way when given the same conditions. Through conscience, Allah lets us know what pleases Him, and it helps us to distinguish right from wrong.

Though it is our own responsibility to follow our conscience, failure to do so will bring regret and punishment in the afterlife. We must listen to our conscience, follow the Quran and the Messenger, and never turn away from the truth in order to gain entry to Allah's heaven. Life, therefore, is about listening to Allah's voice through our conscience, and taking action accordingly. Conscience is an integral part of understanding our life purpose and relationship with Allah. We are all subject to wrong-doing, but Allah's forgiveness is always available to us if we ask for it with a sincere heart.

His mercy and forbearance are infinite, and He will always forgive us.

Believers know that they should use their time wisely and not waste it on worthless things. They use their conscience and reason to distinguish between useful and useless matters, and aim to gain Allah's approval in all of their deeds. Consequently, when they hear anything that is not relevant to the benefit of the religion and of Muslims, they turn away and refuse to engage in it.

Those who are safe-guarded from the avarice of their own selves, those are the ones who are successful. Fear of Allah is essential for believers, as it draws them closer to Him, helps them develop a deeper faith, and guides them to live according to the values of the Quran.

Fear of Allah differs from mundane fears as it is expressed by a different Arabic word that conveys overwhelming respect. Fearing Allah motivates people to avoid evil and increases their wisdom and understanding, bringing peace of mind and preventing the self from succumbing to selfishness. Additionally, fear of Allah enables believers to take heed of warnings and to recognize God's magnificence and power.

The ultimate goal is to cultivate a more profound fear of Allah, and to strive to earn His love. Evil is no match for the power of Allah. A person who truly believes in Allah and follows his teachings will be safeguarded from the avarice of their own selves and will be successful. Through following Allah's will, a person will find love for His creations, and ultimately the highest form of love, which is love for Allah. They will also have the fear of Allah, which is the best provision, and the knowledge that only Allah can protect them from evil.

Allah is the ultimate truth and Ruler of the universe. He created all physical laws and controls all the systems in the universe, whether we are aware of them or not. The intricate order of the earth and the universe is evidence of His power, such as the precision of the earth's orbit around the sun. Even our ability to take a step forward is thanks to countless predetermined details.

Living things are also a testament to Allah's power, such as the single kidney cell that can carry out tasks that normally require a lot of thought. Allah's infinite wisdom and knowledge are apparent in every aspect of the universe. Allah is the Creator of the entire universe and all its components. He is All-Powerful and All-Knowing, and has the ability to bring the dead to life.

The Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) knew this truth and acknowledged it daily by praising Allah for His might and power. Allah is the ultimate source of truth and has power over all things.
