Suhaib Webb – Discovering the Existence of Allah- Insights from Quran Science and Scholars

			So the first obligation we said is to
		

			know that Allah exists.
		

			How do we know that Allah exists?
		

			Number one, through Qur'an and Sunnah.
		

			Number two, through the natural world, the physical
		

			sciences.
		

			And number three, by learning from the ulama
		

			and the mashayikh and teachers who are qualified
		

			to teach us.
		

			It's very important.
		

			So he says, يَجِبُ عَلَى الْمُكَلَّفِ مَعْرِفَةُ مَا
		

			يَجِبُ لِلَّهِ The first thing he said, فَيَجِبُ
		

			لِلَّهِ الْوُجُودِ We say, وَاجِبَ الْوُجُودِ Allah's existence
		

			is fard.
		

			It's an obligation, shar'an and aqlan.
		

			It's an obligation based on text and also
		

			the intellect.
		

			The text, we said numerous texts, they tell
		

			us Allah exists.
		

			But number two, we know the law of
		

			thermodynamics, matter is constantly in the state of
		

			destruction.
		

			Matter did not create itself nor can it
		

			destroy itself.
		

			So if matter cannot create nor destroy, that
		

			means something created matter.
		

			And something, I memorized the book, sorry, I
		

			don't have the book with me, I memorized
		

			this book.
		

			Something is causing it to exist and something
		

			is causing it to be destroyed because matter
		

			cannot do it.
		

			So whatever, pay attention, created matter is not
		

			matter.
		

			And that's how we respond to Christianity.
		

			Jesus is matter.
		

			Jesus lived in a physical space.
		

			Jesus lived in a physical time.
		

			He walked like a human being.
		

			He talked like a human being.
		

			He ate, he slept.
