Islam and Evidence

Muslims must always remember that they are under God's protection, and accept that whatever happens in their lives is part of their destiny.

It must not be forgotten that everything that happens to us, great or small, is in our destiny. Muslims must always be on their guard against satan’s whisperings saying ‘These things have nothing to do with destiny.’ Therefore, always remembering and never forgetting this is a great means for achieving spiritual profundity because one will then experience the love of God with greater intensity and thus look at everything that happens and all that is created by God with love and see the goodness in it. And that will make one more peaceful, tolerant, joyful and healthy.

The fact is that looking at every incident and everything that occurs through the eyes of wisdom, and knowing that everything is created for the best by God in destiny, is a crucial necessity for one's peace of mind in this world. Entrusting oneself to God and surrendering their whole souls to Him is a great blessing and a source of tranquility and happiness for believers.

Facts about scientific subjects, facts that no one could have known at the time of the Qur'an's revelation, are announced in its verses.

Muslims must turn to the Qur'an for guidance every day in order to live their lives according to its teachings and achieve a peaceful life. The Quran is the key to success, and by following its teachings, Muslims can lead a life of true happiness. The Qur’an not only shapes the personal lives of Muslims, but also their social lives, tastes and the quality of their lives. It provides guidance on how to wage a scientific struggle against disbelievers, how to handle double-dealing hypocrites, and how to treat those with weaker faiths, deviators, isolators and irreligious. It also teaches about the importance of morality, art, beauty, hygiene, quality and courtesy.

In order to remain good believers, Muslims must strive to practice the tenets of the Quran without fail. This book is a reminder of how to put the verses into practice in everyday life, to increase effort to become more pious, and to seek God's approval. May God help us to remember what is essential so we can make every minute of our lives count.

Even the faithful vary in their fear of Allah and the faith in Him which they hold in their hearts. These individuals may live with their faith, but at moments when their interests are challenged or when they are faced with problems, may also demonstrate the behavior of unbelievers instead of behaving in accordance with the Qur'an. 

The people concerned may conform to most provisions of the Qur'an and behave like believers throughout a large portion of their lives. On certain matters, however, they may not like to be aware that according to the Qur'an, they are in the wrong. 

For a person who suffers trouble and sorrow throughout his life, the solution is simple. Every person with faith in Allah and every believer who conforms to the Qur'an must approach the Book with greater sincerity and must be protected from any kind of act or thought that runs counter to the behavior of the faithful described in its verses. He should not regard the truths contained in the Qur'an as theoretical, but should apply them in practice in his life and feel and experience them at all times.

He must not forget that Allah encompasses everything and that He knows all the secret emotions inside a person, including concealed insincerity. A Muslim should not regard simply performing religious observances as sufficient and view the insincerity inside himself as insignificant. 

All living creatures bow to Allah and act according to His instructions. Muslims should live in submission to their destiny without forgetting these truths and knowing that in every event, there is a goodness and a blessing. When a person arrives at awareness of these truths, he will see a different, beautiful life begin for him. When we speak of «living a beautiful life,» you should not take this to mean that people will experience no difficulty, for this world is a place where everyone is tested, and a person will be tested by various events until the end of his life.

As Allah tells us in the verses of the Qur'an, everyone will suffer difficulties and problems. Thinking positively about events and submitting to the will of Allah, the Possessor of boundless knowledge, brings lasting and genuine happiness.

Allah has created everything with a purpose; just like His blessings. Each one of these blessings—our life, faith, sustenance, health, eyes, and ears—is an endowment for mankind to be grateful to Allah.

... put your trust in Allah. Allah suffices as a Guardian. (Quran, 4:81)

Allah is the Protector of those who believe... (Quran, 2:257)

Blessed be the name of your Lord, Master of Majesty and Generosity. (Quran, 55:78)

He is the First and the Last, the Outward and the Inward. He has knowledge of all things. (Quran, 57:3)

Allah has created billions of galaxies, stars, and cells in the universe, and is in control of them every moment. The Earth and its inhabitants occupy a tiny place in this vast universe, and yet Allah maintains the balance of countless processes on and within it. Every second, 50 million cells die and are replaced, 10 million bits of info are sent to the brain, and quadrillions of plants and animals live on land and in the seas. Every fly beats its wings 500 times a second and insect populations reach 10 quintillion.

All of these events are taking place in every second, and it is through the power of Almighty Allah that they are kept in balance. The power of Allah is astounding. From the 7 billion people living on Earth, to the trillions of cells in each person, to the millions of proteins and quintillions of amino acids produced each hour, to the billions of nerve cells and synapses in the brain, all these details are ordered and maintained by Allah. Furthermore, Allah has also created other wondrous systems in nature, such as the hummingbird's heart that beats 300-1200 times a minute, the 10 trillion processes performed each second by a honey bee, and the billions of snowflakes that fall from the sky each year. By His leave, these systems are all running perfectly, and humans can only attempt to understand a fraction of His infinite knowledge. Billion of cells exist in the universe, and Allah is the one responsible for their creation.

He is powerful enough to create them as He wishes at any time, and no one knows the keys of the Unseen but Him. Everything in the land and sea, from the smallest leaf to the most abundant seed, is known to Him and recorded in a Clear Book. We should reflect on His greatness and give thanks for His blessings, as we will be questioned on them in the Day of Reckoning. Allah has given us countless blessings, yet we are often ungrateful.
