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.
