Introduction

This is a tremendous presentation containing that

which will clearly draw attention to the logical
evidences for the Oneness o f the Nurturing Lord and
His Perfection.

Know that this issue is the greatest, most

magnificent, most imperative, most beneficial and
absolutely clearest o f all issues. All o f the scriptures
revealed by Allah to His Messengers and all o f His
Messengers were in agreement to it.

It is the most important thing that the Messengers

invited their nations to, while each Messenger said to
his people:

"O my people! Worship Allah! You have no other Rah

(God) but Him. ” 1

They mentioned the names, qualities, blessings,

favors and subtle mercy o f the Lord for their nations
so that they may know their Lord, humbly submit to
Him and worship Him.

From its beginning to its end, the Noble Quran

explains this issue, mentions its various evidences
and sets forth its proofs. The same is the case with
the Prophetic Record (Sunnah).
It is not the intent o f this presentation to mention the
textual evidences about this, for certainly what the
Book (the Quran) and Prophetic Record contain of

i Al-‘A r a a f [7:59]
P eo ple h a ve t h r e e types o f c o n c l u s io ns
R E G A R D IN G T H E O R I G I N OF T H I N G S

evidences and proofs is innumerable and

immeasurable. It would not be possible to fully
cover even part o f it, and it is abundantly clear in
meaning. Both the select and the common folk know
it and ju st some o f that would be sufficient and
satisfactory for the purpose.

Rather, in this presentation we want to briefly show

the logical evidences that all intelligent people know
and submit to, that are not rejected by anyone
unless they are an obstinate and proud disavowing
reason and religion.
This issue is really clearer and more apparent than
requiring proof and be argued in favor of. However,
the more a believer knows o f its proof, the stronger
his faith becomes, the more his certainty increases
and the more he praises Allah for this favor which is
the greatest and grandest of all favors.
Accordingly, the Messengers said to their nations:

“Is there any doubt about A llah?” 2

And so they asked them this rhetorical question

because recognizing His Lordship and Oneness is
readily admitted in the hearts o f all rational people.

People have three types o f conclusions

regarding the origin o f things

Know, may Allah show you mercy, that upon viewing

and contemplating the upper and lower universe, all

2 I b r a h i m [14:10]
 T H E LO G IC A L PR O O FS FO R T H E O N E N E S S A N D
P E R F E C T IO N OF ALLAH

that it is endowed with o f widely varying creations,

and what is continuously occurring anew within it at
every moment, you will come to logically know that
all that is possible can be categorized within three
groups:

The First: That these activities and creations came

into existence by themselves without a maker or
creator. This is impossible and outright rejected.
Logic can clearly state necessarily that this is false
and it is known for certainty that whoever thinks
that is closer to insanity than sanity. This is
because every rational person knows that it is
impossible for anything to exist without a maker and
causer.

The Second: That these creations originated and

created their own selves. This is also impossible and
outright rejected. Anyone with the least intellect is
definite on the fact that something cannot originate
itself ju st as it cannot come into existence without an
originator. Once these two categories are logically
and instinctually invalidated then the other category
is clearly designated which is:

The Third: That these creations and happening have

a creator and originator that created and made them
and that it is Allah the magnificent Lord, the creator
o f everything, disposer o f everything and controller of
all affairs.

Accordingly, Allah alerted mankind to this logical

categorization that is clear to any logical person. He
said:
8 C o n t e m p l a t in g t h e c r e a t io n o f t h e h u m a n
B E IN G A N D T H E U N IV ER SE

“Were they created by nothing, or were they

themselves the creators? Or did they create the
heavens and the earth? Nay, but they have no firm
Belief.” 3

So a creation must have a creator, an effect must

have a cause, a happening must have a causer,
something existing must have an originator,
something made must have a maker and a doing
must have a doer.

These issues are logical and readily admitted. All

logical persons share in knowing it and it is from the
greatest o f logical issues. So whoever is uncertain
about it or doubts its proof has proven his
absentmindedness and misguidance.

From the Evidence is:

Contemplating the creation o f the

human being and the universe

May Allah show you mercy! Look within yourself.

Look at the beginning o f your creation, from sperm to
a morsel o f flesh until you became a perfect human
with complete parts internally and externally.
Doesn’t this compel and drive you to recognize the
Lord who is able to do all things, whose knowledge
encompasses everything, who is Wise regarding
everything He created and made?

3 A t-T u r [52:35-36]
 T H E LO G IC A L PR O O FS FO R T H E O N E N E S S A N D
PE R FE C T IO N OF ALLAH

If all o f creation were to assemble themselves over

this sperm that Allah made as the beginning o f your
creation, in order to transfer it to these various
stages, to safeguard it in that fortified habitat (the
womb) and then make limbs for it externally and
make inner abilities along with hearing, seeing and
intellect -If they gathered to develop it with such
amazing development, assemble it into such a well-
structured assembly, organizing the body parts
according to such precise arrangement, so that each
body part is in its appropriate place-
If they gathered to do that, would their collective
knowledge, power and capabilities allow them to
arrive at such a result?

Taking such a straightforward look would cause you

to arrive at the recognition o f Allah’s power,
magnificence and Oneness; it would lead you to
submitting to Him, believing in His scriptures and
Messengers, knowing Him and believing in the Final
Day.

Contemplate over Allah’s protection o f the celestial

heavens, the earth and the worlds they contain
whose full extent is unknown to any save He.
Contemplate over His causing it all to remain in
existence and His supplying it with everything it
needs o f various means and astonishing systems for
its survival. Doesn’t that prove for you the perfection
o f the Lord as well as His Lordship, Oneness, vast
knowledge and all inclusive wisdom?

Allah has drawn attention to this clear logical proof

saying:
10 C o n t e m p l a t in g t h e c r e a t io n o f t h e h u m a n

“And among His Signs is that the heaven and the

earth stand by His Command. ” 4

“Verily! Allah grasps the heavens and the earth lest

they move away from their places, and if they were to
move away from their places, there is not one that
could grasp them after Him. Truly, He is Ever Most
Forbearing, Oft-Forgiving. ” 5

Oh brother, reflect upon the orbiting celestial bodies

and what results o f the alternation o f night and day.
Reflect upon the organization o f time by the seasons
and its being perfectly structured for the greater good
and unlimited benefit for people.

Did this happen by chance, automatically without

being caused and done by something else? Or is it
the case that the one who created and controls that
with exact precision is the one who created
everything in the best way? This is logical evidence
that He has drawn attention to by saying:

 T H E LO G IC A L PR O O FS F O R T H E O N E N E S S A N D
P E R F E C T IO N OF ALLAH

“The Work o f Allah, Who perfected all things. ” 6

Look, may Allah guide you, to the fact that He gave

everything the created appearance appropriate for it
and then guided each creature to what is
advantageous, beneficial and necessarily imperative
for its survival. Even untamed animals, miniscule
and gigantic, have been inspired and instinctually
guided to what is for their benefit and survival, and
their sustenance and diets have been simplified and
made instinctual for them.

Whoever looks at this all inclusive guidance and

astonishing inspiration by which they are directed
towards all that benefits them and how it is
disseminated throughout creation, will come to know
the magnificent care o f the nurturing guardian Lord
and that He is the Lord, Creator and Provider o f all.
He knows His creatures and granted them minds to
appropriately conduct their selves and to repel away
harm. That is a clear, tremendous, logical evidence
for the Oneness and Perfection of Allah.

Allah has drawn attention to that by saying:

"Our Lord is He Who gave to each thing its fo rm and

nature, then guided it aright." 7

Isn’t this guidance and inspiration to acquiesce

benefit, deter harms, and to support and show

6 A n -N a m l [27:88]
7 T a h a [20:50]
A l l a h 's g e n e r a l m e r c y

compassion to their offspring until they develop and

can be independent, found within the nature o f all
variety o f animals?
Is this compassion and mercy instilled within
animals towards their children anything other than
one o f the greatest evidences for the vast mercy of
Allah as well as His all-inclusive knowledge and
wisdom?

Another evidence for Allah’s oneness and perfection:

A llah’s general mercy

Look even further, may Allah show you mercy, at

Allah’s vast mercy that fills the ends o f the universe
and encompasses every creature in every
circumstance and time.

He brought creation into existence by His mercy. By

His Mercy He allows their longevity and protects
them. By His Mercy He supplies them with all that
they need and showers upon them the internal and
external blessings that no creature can do without
for even the blinking of an eye and that are of diverse
types from every aspect:

S Blessings o f education in the issues o f religion

and the world,
S Blessings of overall bodily wellbeing and the
particular wellbeing o f each limb and organ,
■S Blessings o f children, family and supporters,
■S Blessings o f vast wealth and sustenance,
S Agricultural blessings o f sowing, harvesting
and yield, blessings o f livestock and assorted
possessions,
S Blessings o f habitations and spacious homes,
S And the blessings o f pleasure and celebration.
 T H E LO G IC A L PR O O FS FO R T H E O N E N E S S A N D
P E R F E C T IO N OF ALLAH

They are the blessings by which all benefit is

acquired and all harm is warded off.

All o f that demonstrates the Oneness o f He who

controls, provides and graciously bestows such
blessings with the greatest evidence, as well as
showing His vast generosity and the obligation of
thanking Him, submitting to Him and working
sincerely for His sake.

“Is then He, Who creates as one who creates not?” 8

Vi} ^ o-^r* ^

“And whatever o f blessings and good things you have,

it is from Allah. Then, when harm touches you, unto
Him you cry aloud f o r help. ” 9

Another evidence is:

Looking at the Situations o f those in

Dire Need

Furthermore, look at the circumstances o f those in

dire need who have fallen into peril, experiencing
danger, those suffering from miserable poverty or
agonizing illness. Look how their dire necessity and

9 A n -N a h l [16:53]
L O O K IN G AT T H E S IT U A T IO N S OF T H O S E IN D IR E
NEED

need has compelled and forced them to take recourse

to their Lord and God, invoking and asking Him in
an impoverished state requesting that He give
bestowals to them, whereupon, He answers their
prayers, alleviates their hardships and removes their
dire state o f affairs.

Doesn’t this contain the greatest evidence for His

Oneness, His vast knowledge and mercy, His
intricate subtle kindness and the fact that He alone
is the source o f recourse for all o f creation? Allah
has drawn attention to this logical evidence by
saying:

7s not He (better than your gods) Who responds to the

distressed one, when he calls Him, and Who removes
the evil, and makes you inheritors o f the earth,
generations after generations. Is there any ilah (god)
with A lla h ? "10

H igh Exalted be Allah above all that they associate

as partners to Him. ” 11

11 A n -N a m l [27:63]
 T H E LO G IC A L PR O O FS F O R T H E O N E N E S S A N D
PE R F E C T IO N OF ALLAH

I f You (Allah) deliver us fro m this, we shall truly be o f

the grateful.” 12

“But when He delivered them, behold! They rebel

(disobey Allah) in the earth wrongfully. ” 13

Creation has witnessed this type o f proof- the

deliverance o f those in dire need- with their very
eyes. They’ve observed countless occasions o f this.
This compels them to recognize Allah and His
Oneness.

Look at the circumstance o f those in dire straits

when distressed by calamities and dismayed by
tragedies. Look at how their hearts are connected to
Allah, how their tongues are adamant in asking, how
their hearts are expectant o f attaining, not being
distracted from Him by anything to their right or left.
This is due to their basic necessary knowledge that
He alone is the alleviator o f hardships and deliverer
from calamities. Creation has no source o f recourse
except towards Him and none that they can rely
upon save He.

Is there any other explanation for these matters

except that creation is made with the natural

12 Y u n u s [10:22]
13 Y u n u s [10:23]
A l l a h 's a n s w e r i n g P r a y e r s

inclination to recognize the Oneness o f their Lord,

that He is the causer o f benefit and harm and that
the dominion o f all is in His Hand? Can anyone
reject that except for a person whose nature has
been corrupted by false beliefs and evil ambitions?

Look at the creation’s need of their Lord in every

regard. They direly need Him regarding creation and
causing existence. They direly need Him regarding
survival, sustenance and supplement. They direly
need him as regards attaining anything of benefit.
They direly need him as regards warding off harms.

So they ask Him both with the physical tongue and

through their condition, whereupon He provides
them their pursuits, and aids them towards their
ends. When they want anything they only seek it
from Him and if harm touches them, they only turn
to Him.

How much hurt and calamity has He removed, how

many broken souls has He repaired and how many
goals has He simplified? How many lost has He
delivered and how many in peril has He saved? Their
impoverished condition o f needing Him in every
circumstance is apparent and observable, while His
freedom o f needing them could not be denied except
by the arrogant and obstinate.

Another evidence is:

A llah9s Answering Prayers

From the signs o f His Lordship and Oneness is His

answering prayers at all times. The creation could
not count what He has given to those who request
and His response to the invocations o f the praying
 T he l o g ic a l p r o o fs f o r t h e o n e n e s s a n d
PE R F E C T IO N OF ALLAH

whether they be righteous or sinful, Muslim or non-

Muslim.

People get much o f what they want while not

knowing any causes for it other than prayer,
expectation o f Allah’s favor and hope in His mercy.
This proof is observable at all times and cannot be
denied except by someone trying to obscure reality
and obstinately reject.
They invoke Him for religious wants and He answers,
and for worldly wants and He answers:

“But o f mankind there are some who say: "Our Lord!

Give us (Your Bounties) in this world!" and f o r such
there will be no portion in the Hereafter. And o f them
there are some who say: "Our Lord! Give us in this
world that which is good and in the Hereafter that
which is good, and save us fro m the torment o f the
Fire!" For them there will be allotted a share f o r what
they have earned. And Allah is Swift at reckoning.” 14

A lso, from the p r o o f is:

The miracles o f the prophets

14 A l - B a q a r a h [2:200-202]
T h e sy st em o f b e lief a n d la w s w i t h i n t h e
D IV IN E L Y REVEALED S C R IPT U R E S A N D W I T H I N TH E
P R O P H E T IC NARRATIVE R E C O R D

From the evidences o f Allah’s existence and Oneness:

is what He caused to happen o f supernatural signs,
miracles and unmistakable evidences at the hands o f
His prophets. Likewise is the case with His honoring
and aiding them in this world, making the final
result o f their affairs praiseworthy in their favor
while disappointing and tormenting their enemies
with a variety o f different punishments.

This is recorded with impeccable plurality and

known by both the select and common people. It has
been conveyed by entire nations and generations for
ages and has become greater as clear proof than the
sun and moon. All o f this is evidence for the
Lordship, Oneness, magnificent authority, complete
power and vast knowledge and wisdom of He who
sent them. None deny this except for someone who
is arrogant and tyrannical.

Another evidence:

The system o f belief and laws within

the divinely revealed scriptures and
within the prophetic narrative record

From the greatest evidences o f His Oneness is what

Allah revealed to His prophets o f scriptures and
legislations in general, and what He revealed of the
tremendous book that could not be adequately
expressed and describe to Muhammad in particular.
Its verses stand relevant in all times, challenging all
o f creation along with their convergent religions and
persuasions. Their inability is unmistakably clearly
against them.
 T H E LO G IC A L PR O O FS FO R T H E O N E N E S S A N D
P E R F E C T IO N OF ALLAH

“We will show them Our Signs in the universe, and in

their ownselves, until it becomes manifest to them that
this (the Qur'an) is the truth.” 15

“We have sent down to you the Book (the Qur'an) as

an exposition o f everything, a guidance, a mercy, and
glad tidings f o r those who have submitted themselves
(to Allah as Muslims). ” 16

Whoever looks at what the Quran contains of

genuine information, ju st laws, precise legislations,
general correctness, facilitation o f both religious and
worldly benefit, protection from all harm,
tremendous goodness, guidance and perfect absolute
righteousness: is forced to recognize that it is
revelation from one who is All Wise and worthy o f all
praise, the Generous Lord.

Likewise whoever looks at what the Messenger

brought in the Prophetic Record (Sunnah) and o f a
perfect system o f law, upright religion and the
straight path regarding all o f his endeavors, will be
compelled by just some o f that, let alone all of it, to
recognize Allah’s unique Oneness as well as the fact

15 F u ssilaat [41:53]
16 A n -N a h l [16:89]
T H E S O U N D P R E D IS P O S IT IO N C O M PELS
R E C O G N IT IO N OF ALLAH

that the one who legislated it is the Magnificent Lord

who is All Wise in His legislation and religion ju st as
He is all wise in what He created and apportioned.
Another evidence is:

The sound predisposition compels

recognition o f Allah

From the evidences for Allah’s Unique Oneness is

that the intellects and natural dispositions are
compelled to recognize their Maker, His perfect power
and executed will. That is because the creation are
essentially need to procure benefit and ward off
harm.

What is known by every rational person is that the

soul’s need o f its creator and God is greater than
every other need and necessity. It is compelled to
knowing that He alone is its creator, sole causer of
survival and supplier o f benefit.

“Allah's Fitrah (i.e. Allah's Islamic Monotheism), with

which He has created mankind. ” 17

That is the straight religion” 18

None depart from this natural disposition except

those who the devils misled, altered their natures

is A r-R u m [30:30]
 T H E LO G IC A L PR O O FS FO R T H E O N E N E S S A N D
PE R F E C T IO N OF ALLAH

and substituted them with corrupt beliefs, astray

imaginations, filthy ideas and erroneous theories.

If they had left them alone with their natural

dispositions they wouldn’t be inclined to anything
besides their Lord. They would constantly return to
Him for the procurement o f benefit and repulsion of
harm. They would constantly return to Him,
recognize Him as their deity, worshipping Him,
submitting and humbling their selves.

Another evidence:

The reward hastened f o r those who do

goodness and the punishm ent
hastened f o r the wrongdoers

From the clear evidences o f Allah’s unique Oneness

and Generosity is: Allah’s honoring those who join
the ties o f the womb, those who impart kindness to
the needy and destitute, as well as His repaying what
they spend in an immediate sense, His replacing it
for them out o f His generosity and kindness, His
opening the means and gates o f sustenance for them
on account of that kindness that leaves a good effect.

People who contemplate know that it is caused by

these righteous deeds, joining o f family ties, kindness
and previous good deeds. Doesn’t this show us that
Allah establishes upon each soul what it earns and
that this hastened compensation and immediate
reward is just an example o f the reward in the
hereafter?

The individual elements and types o f these causes

cannot be restricted to any limit. Mankind has seen
T H E R E W A R D HASTEN ED EO R TH O S E W H O DO
G O O D N E S S A N D T H E P U N IS H M E N T H A STEN ED
FOR TH E W R O N G D O E R S

astonishing examples in this regard, validating the

saying of Allah:

“And whatsoever you spend o f anything (in Allah's

Cause), He will replace it.” 19

"If you give thanks (by accepting Faith and

worshipping none but Allah), I will give you more (of
My Blessings)” 20

It also validates his saying:

“Whoever would love to have his sustenance

expanded and his lifespan increased, then let him jo in
the ties o f the womb. ” 21

How much kindness has Allah shown to those who

show kindness, and how much has Allah replaced
that was spent by those who spend generously? How
much has Allah mended the hearts o f the
compassionate that join the ties o f kinship?

19 S a b a [34:39]

21 Agreed u pon
 T H E LO G IC A L PR O O FS FO R T H E O N E N E S S A N D
PE R F E C T IO N OF ALLAH

S im ila r to th is c le a r e v id en ce is: Allah’s

punishments that are hastened for those who
transgress, cut family ties, and for the oppressors
and criminals according to their crimes. These are
punishments people physically see with the eye and
are certain that they are compensation and
punishments for such crimes.

Whoever contemplates and hears about such

occasions and how Allah has dealt with people
throughout the ages, will know how these things are
connected with their causes whether good or bad.
Beyond merely utilizing it as proof that He does and
must exist, the person will know by that o f the
unique Oneness o f Allah, His Lordship, perfect
justice and vast favor.

Certainly, everything that demonstrates His actions

and qualities is indicative o f His essence and
mandatory existence.

He will also come to know o f the relation o f the upper

and lower universe to Him as regards its survival and
preservation and His endowing it with all that it
needs.

A follow up lesson for what preceded:

The ways to know Allah are vast and

unlimited

Know that the ways to know Allah are extremely vast

according to people’s need o f it and necessity.
Everyone expresses their self with different
expressions whether comprehensive or partial in
E x a m p l e s a n d s t o r i e s a b o u t p r o v i n g A l l a h ’s

nature according to their immediate circumstance

and the matters most overwhelming for them.

Otherwise, everything the heart thinks, the eye sees

and senses and all that the feelings perceive;
everything moving and dormant, every animate or
inanimate object, -are all proofs, clear evidences and
signs for Allah’s unique Oneness.

“Every single thing contains a sign...

However, individual aspects come quicker to mind,

are understood by the hearts in more detail and
bring about quicker benefit and utility because they
are simple, easy and immediately realizable.

So let us mention some examples and stories from

people in the past and in modernity. Everyone
understands what will best suit them and their level
o f understanding.

Examples and stories about proving

Allah’s oneness with sound evidence

Upon being asked: How do you know about your

Lord? Someone said: Just as droppings show there
was a passing riding animal and tracks show
someone had been travelling, then doesn’t a sky full
 T H E LO G IC A L PR O O FS FO R T H E O N E N E S S A N D
PE R F E C T IO N OF ALLAH

o f radiant stars, an earth full o f valleys and oceans

full o f waves prove a Lord that is intricately aware
and knowing o f the most subtle things?

A group of atheists met in a gathering with a scholar.

I think it was Abu Hanifah. They said: What is the
evidence for the existence o f the Creator?

He told them: Leave me alone, my mind is busy

thinking about something weird. They said: what is
it? He said: It has reached me that there is a huge
ship full o f all sorts o f amazing goods in the pitch
darkness setting out on voyage and returning
without anyone navigating or captaining it.

They said: Are you insane?! He said: Why? They

said: How could a rational person believe that? So
he told them: How could your minds believe that
this world and all that it contains o f amazing species,
varieties and events as well as the galaxies spiraling
and moving all happens and moves without anyone
causing it or setting it into motion? So they
retracted their position in shame.

Some were asked: How do you know about your

Lord? They responded: When a man impregnates a
female, Allah develops it from sperm, to a premature
fetus to a more mature stage until the last stages so
that it becomes a fully formed human perfect in body
inwardly and outwardly.

He has the faculty o f hearing to hear sounds, seeing

to look at what is observable; intellect to be guided to
what is advantageous, two hands to strike and to
perform intricate work with, two feet to walk with
and many body parts created for other well-known
26 E x a m p l e s a n d s t o r i e s a b o u t p r o v i n g A l l a h ’s
O N E N E S S W IT H S O U N D E V ID E N C E

benefits. It has openings by which nutrition enters

the body and others by which what is harmful exits.

It is structured in such an astonishing fashion that

all o f mankind would be inept knowledge-wise and
furthermore physically incapable o f assembling it
with such astonishing, precise form. Isn’t that
evidence and proof o f the existence, Greatness and
Oneness of the Creator.

I say: Allah mentioned this mode o f proof in a variety

of ways in His book.

Some were asked: How do you know your Lord? The

response was: by the undoing o f determinations and
aspirations.

Meaning: Oftentimes, a person is resolute and

determined with deaf certainty without any
hesitance. Afterwards, his aspiration is rendered
null; his determination is weakened to the extent of
abandoning the course of action for another he sees
to be advantageous.

That is merely because Allah has power over

everything, changing the hearts ju st as He controls
the bodies. He may distract them away from some of
what it is determined to be done as a subtle mercy in
order for the person to remain upon their faith and
religion. So He is subtle with him, showing him
mercy in a manner he doesn’t even realize. So we
ask Him to show us subtle mercy in all matters and
to make the path o f ease easy for us.

Upon being asked: How do you know your Lord?

Someone responded: I was in peril and He delivered
me, I was sick and He healed me, I was poor and He
 T H E LO G IC A L PR O O FS F O R T H E O N E N E S S A N D
P E R F E C T IO N OF ALLAH

enriched me, I was astray away from guidance when

He showed His subtle mercy and guided me. This
didn’t happen to ju st me though. How often does He
show these and other blessings that are
immeasurable and unlimited? This compelled me to
recognize His unique Oneness, power and mercy.

Upon being asked: How do you know your Lord?

Someone said: We and the rest o f people have seen
the deaths of tyrannical criminals and their horrible
demises, just as we and they have seen good people
die praiseworthy. Therefore, all sorts o f rewards and
punishments are hastened for people so that they
can know, submit to, and worship Him.

Upon being asked: How do you know your Lord?

Someone else said: By His sending blessings to the
creation at the time o f need and necessity.

The rain is sent at the time o f need and alleviated

when it is feared to harm. When difficult situations
become severe in intensity, deliverance comes, and
such ambitions come to fruition as needed. The
developed parts o f the human body and its strengths
are given to them by Allah little by little according to
its need.

Could this ju st happen by chance? Or because of

this, couldn’t it be known with certainty that the One
who gives them these things at the time o f need and
necessity is the nurturing Lord and praiseworthy
King who alone is to be worshipped?

I say: The same approach is taken concerning what

we are discussing regarding knowing Allah.
Certainly in as much as that the people’s need and
necessity to know Allah is above and beyond every
E x a m p l e s a n d s t o r i e s a b o u t p r o v i n g A l l a h ’s
O N EN E SS W IT H S O U N D EV ID E N C E

other need and necessity, then Allah has simplified it

for His servants, provided a method for its pathways,
opened up its doors and routes and clarified its
evidences. That is on account o f their severe need of
it and due to Allah’s vast mercy and kindness.

Upon being asked: How do you know Allah?

Someone said: He is known because o f His teaching
people what they didn’t know before. A person exits
from their m other’s womb knowing nothing. So He
gives them the tools o f knowledge and eases its
means for them. So a person doesn’t cease learning
the affairs o f his worldly pursuit until they become
professional, inventing astonishing things and He
simplifies for him every cause by which that it
attained.

It is an astonishing affair that once a writing board is

written upon and utilized for any purpose, it cannot
be used for anything else or can have anything else
written upon it before erasing what is already
written. This is so, while the heart o f the human
being never ceases memorizing and understanding
matters and all variety o f data.

The vaster its information and more replete its

knowledge is, the stronger its memory and
recollection, and the vaster its ideas are. Are such
things within human capacity and ability, or is this
among the greatest evidences for the
tremendousness o f Allah, His unique Oneness,
perfection and His vast mercy?

Upon being asked: How do you know Allah?

Someone said: People plant a seed pit which then
emerges into a date-palm or other variety of tree,
producing beneficial delicious fruit. Seeds are cast
 T H E LO G IC A L PR O O FS FO R T H E O N E N E S S A N D
PE R F E C T IO N OF ALLAH

into the earth and all species o f vegetation emerges

serving as the staple foods o f both people and their
livestock. This continues in overabundance every
year providing sufficiency and that which is far
beyond people’s needs. Isn’t this a clear proof and
evidence o f Allah’s existence, power, and His care for
His servants and mercy?

Allah summoned attention to this logical proof and

evidence in His saying:

“Verily! It is Allah Who causes the seed grain and the

fru it stone (like date stone, etc.) to split and sprout. ” 22

Likewise He said:

“Tell Me! The seed that you sow in the ground. Is it

you that make it grow, or are We the Grower?” 23

Someone who hastened to believe in the

Messenger was asked: What provoked you to do
that? He said: I saw that he never ordered
something to which the intellect said: if only he
didn’t order that, and he never forbade anything to
which the intellect said: if only he ordered that.

He proved the truthfulness o f the Messenger by the

light o f his intellect and strength o f his vision by the

22 A l-‘A n ’a am [6:95]
23 A l-W a q i’ah [56:63-64]
30 E x a m p l e s a n d s t o r i e s a b o u t p r o v i n g A l l a h ’s
O N E N E S S W IT H S O U N D E V ID E N C E

fact that what he brought contains righteousness,

repels corruption and that it conforms to sound
intellect.

Some o f those who knew keenly about Allah were

asked: How do you know Allah? The response: By
tasting the sweetness o f obedience and swallowing
the bitterness of opposition.

This type o f proof is based on evidence and on

personal experience that is realized by anyone
graciously blessed to encounter such a state. It
compels the servant to complete faith and increased
certainty, for certainly whoever experiences the
sweetness of obedience and faith and tastes the
enjoyment o f certainty, is alternatively anguished
when overcome by the soul’s ordering o f evil -its
ordering engrossment is some acts o f disobedience.
This matter compels him to know Allah and His
Oneness.

Upon being asked: How is it that you know Allah?

Someone said: Because causality o f effects are found
to be arranged in one set fashion and then He alters
some causes and prevents them from causation
while bringing things into existence by other than
their recognized means.

This is true, for verily Allah sets matters into motion

according to cause and effect as regards divine
predestination and matters o f religion. This is so that
His extensive wisdom may be known and in order to
energize those doing deeds to perform righteous
deeds which Allah has connected to certain
outcomes and puts into motion according to His
divine law.
 T H E LO G IC A L PRO O FS FO R T H E O N E N E S S A N D
PE R F E C T IO N OF ALLAH

Despite that, He may prevent some means from

having their normal ends and effects as is the case
with the supernatural miracles o f the prophets and
the honorable phenomena that occurred for the
righteous saints.

A great many things occur in like fashion through

other than their normal means, just as Jesus was
made through a mother while having no father and
John was born to two parents who could not
normally have children.

Accordingly, most o f these feats belonged to the

category of prophetic miracles and saintly
phenomena but could possibly happen for others.
All o f these are evidences for Allah’s Oneness,
Godhood and Lordship.

Upon being asked: How do you know Allah? Some

said: Whoever looks at the substance o f material
sustenance and contemplates over the situation of
those with abundant possessions, properties and
wealth, who relied upon it, will see that their affairs
then became constricted and they were mounted by
debts and matters came about contrary to what they
expected.

Then look at many other people who don’t have

properties, wealth or many possessions but instead
have merely had simple means made easy for them
which none would ever think would suffice them.
However, Allah blessed it and expanded the
sustenance for them. So their hearts are more open,
their souls more comfortable and their lives more
enjoyable than the first type o f people.
E x a m p l e s a n d s t o r i e s a b o u t p r o v i n g A l l a h ’s
O N E N E S S W IT H S O U N D E V ID E N C E

The reason is that they took the means while placing

their trust upon the One who controls their
causality. Their hearts therefore are always looking
towards what Allah has, hoping that He eases their
sustenance.

The case of the first type o f people is ju st the

opposite. Their hearts are attached to their
possessions and belongings. Allah is then known by
that, and it is known that the entirety o f the affair
belongs to Him.

Accordingly, when we look at many who are strong

and intelligent, working day and night; we see that
their sustenance and means are tightened and
unsteady. Simultaneously, we see Allah has
expanded sustenance and eased the affair o f many
people who are weak in mind and body, who don’t
possess the strength and intelligence o f the first type
o f people. All o f this is observable and compels the
intelligent person to bear witness that Allah has
absolute control and the affair belongs entirely to
Him.

Someone else was asked: How is Allah known? He

said: by observing what validates the saying o f Allah:

“And no (moving) living creature is there on earth but

its provision is due from Allah. And He knows its
 T H E LO G IC A L PR O O FS F O R T H E O N E N E S S A N D 33
PE R F E C T IO N OF ALLAH

dwelling place and its deposit (in the uterus, grave,

etc.).” ^

You can see validation o f this throughout creation in

a comprehensive fashion and the fact that Allah has
eased for each person the means they live off of:

S This person lives off his selling and trade,

S Another by his skilled trade,

S Another by his farming

S While another lives off working and service.

S This one lives off the backgrounds o f those

before him,

S Yet another by raising livestock,

S Some live off the kindness o f others to them,

some people by asking and some without
asking,

S While another lives off someone else working

to support him.

There are many other well-known means apportioned

as sustenance for people by the All Mighty, the All
Wise. Glory is to Him whose sustenance reaches the
smallest ants and who supplies what is needed to
that which is in the farthest wildernesses, the
abysses o f the oceans and throughout the compound
pitch darkness.

24 Al-Hud [11:6]
34 E x a m p l e s a n d s t o r i e s a b o u t p r o v i n g A l l a h ’s
O N EN E S S W IT H S O U N D EV ID EN C E

Some were asked: How is Allah known? The

response: There are very many doors and pathways
to know Allah. Amongst the collective ways is how
He guided people in these times to many inventions,
utilizing electricity and communicating sound, light
and other things across very far distances and far off
places.

He is the One who gave man the knowledge and

ability to do so. He is the one who created the
materials and precious resources these things are
derived from and then guided him to assembling
them.

It is known that he emerged from his m other’s womb

knowing nothing, unable to do anything and then
learned these matters. This is from the generality of
Allah’s weighty favors upon him. The one who
created the means also created the result, blessed
and exalted is He. This is the greatest evidence for
Allah’s perfect power by which He enabled the weak
slave to do these feats that were previously
considered utterly impossible.

I say: All o f these answers are valid, whether they be

comprehensive or partial in nature. They compel the
intellects to recognize their Lord and His Unique
Oneness. It is possible to supply a multiplicity of
other answers beyond these.

Verily when you view the world above and below with
a broad general view and look at the enormity of the
creations, its amazing structure, precise assembly
and arrangement and all that emanates as its
product thus constituting benefits for the world and
creation, you will come to know that this world has a
Magnificent Lord and a Great King, who is Powerful
 T H E LO G IC A L PR O O FS FO R T H E O N E N E S S A N D
PE R F E C T IO N OF ALLAH

and All Capable. All in existence surrenders to Him,

creation is subservient to Him, and He has controls
mankind by their foreheads. You will come to know
that everything in the heavens and earth are the
slaves and belongings o f their Lord and they control
nothing of the affair.

Then once you look at each creature individually and

what it embodies o f amazing form and awesome
wisdoms, then further look particularly at your own
self and characteristics and what has been instilled
in you o f an astonishing created form and awesome
aspects o f wisdom, you would come to know that
Allah is the Creating, Sustaining Lord who controls
everything and is All Wise as regards everything. He,
the exalted, said:

“And on the earth are signs fo r those who have Faith

with certainty” 25

Everything created by Allah and every event caused

by Him are signs and clear evidences that He is One
and Magnificent, a Benevolent Lord and Generous
King.

Likewise you will realize this upon contemplating the

perfect religion and the fact that its information is all
true and corroborated by evidence. Its laws are all
fair, ordering goodness and righteousness, forbidding
evil and corruption, and its precise laws and just
rights are applicable throughout the ages. No matter
how much circumstances develop and customs

25 A d h - D h a r i y a a t [51:20]

differ, its relevant goodness doesn’t diminish and its

guidance isn’t invalidated.

To the contrary, there can be no guidance,

righteousness and goodness without them. It doesn’t
produce matters that intellects deem impossible and
are rejected by the sound senses. To the contrary,
perfect minds bear witness that its laws are the best,
fairest, straightest and most rightly guided.

Isn’t this the greatest evidence o f Allah’s greatness,

power, vast knowledge, extensive wisdom and mercy,
and that He is worthy o f praise in every circumstance
for what He created and what He revealed o f religion?

He fashioned everything with perfection and He

exacted everything He revealed with precision. There
is no flaw, purposelessness or anything contrary to
His Wisdom in any o f it in any way.

The existence o f the lord is more

obvious than everything else

From the greatest proofs o f His Oneness and the fact

He must necessarily exist: is what the Messengers
called to and brought to the attention o f their nations
o f logical evidences. They unanimously, openly told
them that the existence o f the Lord is more apparent
than everything else, more unmistakable and clearer
than everything, and higher than anything else as
well as the fact that it is not possible for any
uncertainty or doubt to disagree about that in any
way whatsoever. All o f their Messengers said to
them:

“Can there be a doubt about A llah?” 28

This is rhetorical and it is an enormous rejection of

anyone who doubts or disputes about Allah. It is a
clarification settled in the minds and natural
inclination o f people that the existence and Oneness
o f Allah is absolutely the clearest and most obvious
o f things and that none doubt it except a
confounding, haughty person who is careless
concerning opposing logic and religion.

The existence, survival and preservation of

everything as well as the occurrence o f its perfect
features are only because o f Allah. So He is the First
whom nothing was before and He was the One who
brought everything into existence. Accordingly, they
said:

28 I b r a h i m [14:10]
38 T h e e x i s t e n c e o f t h e l o r d is m o r e o b v i o u s
T H A N E V E R Y T H I N G ELSE

"What! Can there be a doubt about Allah, the Creator

o f the heavens and the earth?” 29

Therefore, He who created the heavens, the earth the

world above and below and all creations therein,
made it exists out of nothing, originated it and
fashioned it precisely, and is therefore not denied to
exists by anyone save an insane person whose heart
has flipped, whose nature is ruined and whose
opinions are contradictory.
Most o f the enemies o f the Messengers were
polytheists who recognized the Lord and that He
alone creates. Such were the peoples o f Noah, Hud,
Saalih and others. Some were atheist deniers like
Pharaoh. He said out of rejection:

"And what is the Lord o f the Alamin (mankind, jinns

and all that exists)?" 30

He also said:

"O chiefs! I know not that you have an ilah (a god)

other than m e!” 31

All Messengers reminded their disbelieving nations

and made the argument: that the Lord created
everything, that He is the Lord o f the worlds, the
Lord o f the first and the last generations. They also
reminded them o f Allah’s ample blessings upon
them. Every Messenger said to his people:

"O my people! Worship Allah! You have no other Rah

(God) but H im !” 32

So they argued against them, using the evidence that

He is the Lord, Creator, Controller, Provider o f all
blessings and whoever is described as such, then He
alone deserves to be sincerely worshipped,
remembered abundantly, and shown gratitude,
praised and extoled.

These are all logical evidences accepted by everyone

that hasn’t cast aside logic and religion.

From the logical arguments of the messengers:

How Allah has dealt with the nations

throughout the ages

They also reminded them o f Allah’s days o f reckoning

and His major events in dealing with the excessively
transgressing nations. They reminded that these
punishments were the fruit or disbelief and rejection

and that they served as living examples o f the

punishments o f the hereafter. These are
punishments by way o f example that people
witnessed with their own eyes. The nations
throughout generations conveyed the news with
impeccable plurality for those who didn’t see it.

Allah has made this type o f logical physical evidence

for such a purpose. He, the exalted, said:

^0 jiiVr; & 3 i £ 2
"And you dwelt in the dwellings o f men who wronged
themselves, and it was clear to you how We had dealt
with them. And We put forth (many) parables f o r you."

signs, revelations, etc.) in various ways that they

might return (to the truth and believe in the Oneness
o f Allah - Islamic Monotheism). ” 35

From the logical proofs o f the messengers:

The perfect qualities possessed by the

messengers and what they had o f
miracles

The Messengers also reminded them by what they

possessed of perfect goodwill, vast knowledge and
truthfulness. Every messenger was the most
knowledgeable, truthful and sincere o f people for the
people. They were infallible and protected from
having any blameworthy trait.

They mentioned their miracles and evidences o f their

truthfulness that compelled people to recognize them
as the most truthful o f people and that all that they
came with is reality.

The greatest thing they invited to is singling out Allah

with worship and knowing Him.

Therefore all of the Prophets’ signs, miracles and

evidences o f truthfulness are from the generality of
proof o f their Lord’s Oneness and that He is the
Manifest King and True Reality.
From the evidence o f the messengers:

35 Al-Ah’qa f [46:27]
THE u n a n im o u s sta t em en t of t h e m essen g er s c o n c e r n in g
M O N O T H EISM

The unanimous statement o f the

messengers concerning monotheism

Furthermore, the statement o f the Messengers who

were the loftiest o f creation regarding all knowledge,
truthfulness, expression, virtue and perfection, was
unanimous and their call was united upon the order
to single out and worship Allah without partners and
to recognize Allah’s necessary existence and absolute
perfection.

This is the most tremendous o f all factual realities,

which is monotheism. The most perfect o f creation
in their intellects, religion and virtues were
unanimous concerning it.

“Then in which speech after Allah and His Ay at will

they believe? Woe to every sinful liar, Who hears the
Verses o f Allah (being) recited to him, yet persists with
pride as if he heard them not. So announce to him a
painful torment!” 36

The testimony o f Allah, his angels, the

scholars and rightly guided

Also from (the evidence) is that He bore witness for

Himself, and who is greater in testimony, to the fact
that:

36 A l- Ja a t h iy y a h [45:6-8)
 T H E L O G IC A L P R O O F S F O R T H E O N E N E S S A N D
P E R F E C T IO N O F A L L A H

“La ilaha ilia Huwa (none has the right to be

worshipped but He), and the angels, and those having
knowledge (also give this witness); (He is always)
maintaining His creation in Justice. La ilah ilia Huwa
(none has the right to be worshipped but He), the All-
Mighty, the All-Wise. ” 37

So all o f the angels and people o f genuine knowledge,

the leaders and forefront o f whom are the
Messengers, then the nurturing scholars and those
who guide others while rightly guided, all bore
witness in favor of the Oneness o f Allah and not a
single one withheld.

Whoever claims to have knowledge yet did not bear

witness with this testimony for Allah, does not have
beneficial knowledge. Much rather, his knowledge is
harmful and has caused exaltedness and pride in the
heart o f its possessor. It is the knowledge inherited
by the enemies o f the Messengers about whom Allah
said:

“Then when their Messengers came to them with clear

proofs, they were glad (and proud) with that which

37 A li Im r a n [3:18]
T H E T E S T IM O N Y OF ALLAH. HIS ANGELS, T H E SCH O LAR S A N D
R IG H T L Y G U I D E D

they had o f the knowledge (o f worldly things): And

that at which they used to mock, surrounded them
(i.e. the punishm ent).” 38

So He, the exalted, told of the enemies o f the

Messengers having knowledge with which they
confronted the knowledge o f the Messengers and
were pleased and contented with it. They mocked at
what the Messengers brought until encompassing
torment and exposing humiliation befell them.

This is equivalent to the atheists’ and materialists’

rejection o f what the Messengers came with of
monotheism and faith as well as their deriding it and
its followers as being backwards blind followers,
following every braying fool and being far behind the
course o f humanity. They say such things as are
bellowed by the foolish and weak minded who blindly
follow the atheists in all they say and do. They are
deluded by material, worldly sciences that do not
avail its possessors whatsoever as long as it is
missing the spirit o f the religion. Much rather, its
harms have become greater than its benefits upon
them and its evils more than its good.

From its greatest harms and evils upon them is that

they show arrogance against the truth because o f it
and belittle the knowledge o f the Messengers and
their followers that benefits and purifies the hearts,
cleanses character and repairs all affairs, facilitating
goodness and guidance while repelling all evils.

The knowledge o f these atheists and their blind

followers puffed them up with the spirit o f pride and
placed them at a level that was not theirs. On

38 G h a f ir [40:83]
 T he l o g ic a l p r o o f s fo r t h e o n e n e s s a n d
P E R FE C T IO N OF ALLAH

account o f it they viewed people lower than wild

animals while in reality it is they who are despicable.

From its harms upon them is that although it

advanced their civilization and culture, it is none the
less a civilization and culture o f pure materialism,
threatened at all times with destruction and
devastation.

What kind o f culture and civilization has a spirit of

oppression, gluttony, enslaving the weak, preparing
weapons of mass destruction to eradicate plant and
animal life, whose accomplishments and fruits are
mass annihilation o f each other, pouring down
terrible torment upon one another?

Is this anything other than the greatest evidence of

Allah’s perfect power, justice and wisdom?

Such matters are included among His days of

reckoning, occasions o f wonderment and painful
punishment between mankind. These admonitions
and lessons did not increase them in anything except
rebellion and flight away from the truth. They move
from severe punishment to what is more severe than
it while stumbling about in their transgression and
lauding their horrid civilization and its fruits.

“They know only the outside appearance o f the life o f

the world (i.e. the matters o f their livelihood, like
irrigating or sowing or reaping, etc.), and they are
heedless o f the Hereafter. ” 39

How great are these lessons for perceptive hearts!

How direct is their proof o f Allah’s perfect justice and
wisdom if only the understandings were correct!
However, the hearts are covered with seals o f
heedlessness, arrogance and delusion while the souls
are preoccupied by harmful matters, having been

As for Allah bearing witness for Him self to His

Oneness, then this has been spoken o f by all o f the

were then articulated by the Messengers. Their call
was unanimously about that as well as that o f all of
their followers from the cultivating scholars, the
partakers o f guidance and all o f the successive
generations o f the people o f knowledge and faith.

Likewise, He established the witnessing evidence for

that within the self o f the human and throughout the
horizons:

“And from among His Signs are the night and the day,
and the sun and the moon. ” 43

The entire upper and lower universe are clear signs,

proofs and unmistakable evidence o f the Oneness of
its Creator, controller and precise fashioner, who
originated it with astonishing appearance, awesome
structure and aspects o f wisdom, the proofs and
evidences o f which the fluent and eloquent are
unable to truly express or fully grasp in part.

Part o f His bearing witness to His Oneness and sole

possession of Magnificence and Perfection: Is what
He has hastened for His Messengers and their
followers of signs, miracles, tremendous aid, various
supernatural feats and praiseworthy outcomes; as
well as what He has hastened for their enemies of
specific and collective demise, punishments to set
example, severe reckoning and terrible outcomes.

Likewise is the case o f what He left for His prophets

and chosen ones of truthful good mention,
widespread mass commendation and love in the
hearts o f creation, alongside what exists for His
enemies o f hatred, dispraise and continuous
invocation of curses.

All o f that constitutes as clear signs of Allah’s

Oneness and the Truth of His Messengers.

Allah said:

“Salamun (peace) be upon Nuh (Noah) (from Us) among

the 'Alamin (mankind, jinns and all that exists)!" 44

recognize that everything Allah or His Messenger

Produce the Likes o f the Quran

Likewise, included in that is Allah’s challenging all of

mankind and the Jinn to produce the likes o f this
Quran and informing that they have never been able
and will never be able to produce its like. The
challenge stands for every time and the inability of
the creation is evident given the available motivations
of the enemy and their severe ardent desire to reject
what the Messenger came with and criticize his
message.

This is a tremendous evidence that compels every

logical person possessing objectivity to recognize the
truth substantiated by clear evidences and amazing
indications proving that it is true in every way. And
all praise is due to Allah.

From the evidence:

The venerable effects resulting from

the message o f Muhammad

From the clear evidence o f Allah’s Oneness and the

truth o f what Muhammad came with are the
venerable effects that emanated and resulted from
Muhammad’s message.

Indeed he was sent within an illiterate nation while

the earth was full o f ignorance, polytheism and
compounded evil. Through him Allah guided them
from misguidance, taught them after ignorance, their
moral character was set aright and their deeds
became righteous. The earth was filled with
goodness, guidance and righteousness through him.
Mercy and justice became widespread and
accomplishment and success were completed
through him.

The hearts were conquered by beneficial knowledge,

valid information and faith; and Allah made His
religion dominant over all other religions. It spread
and was accepted by upright hearts in every land
and by it every falsehood and fallacy was
vanquished.

Its adherents never ceased being preeminent over all

others so long as they were holding fast to it and
establishing it in truth until deviation occurred on
part o f its practitioners in belief, character and
religious and worldly work upon which its venerable
affects ceased for them and they were exchanged for
its opposites.
52 T H E V EN ER A B LE EFFECTS R E SU L T IN G FR O M T H E MESSAGE OF
MUHAMMAD

Doesn’t this contain the greatest evidence that this

Shari’ah was legislated by the All Mighty, All Wise
and that it was given victory by the Magnificent
Lord? Doesn’t it prove that the entirety o f good is
inseparably necessitated by it and follows as result of
its teachings and moral character, that it is
revelation from the one who is All Wise, Worthy o f All
Praise and that all that it informs o f is true and
attested to by the intellects?

No genuine article of information has come from it

that contradicts reality and opposes the senses. It
has not come with what the intellects deem
impossible but perhaps has brought things the
intellects are bewildered by and could not otherwise
have been guided to. That is because the Shari’ah
contains the tremendous details regarding
information and rulings that the intellects and
mental proficiency of the intelligent and highly
competent could not reach and have otherwise been
guided to.

No authentic knowledge or true theory agreed upon

by the intelligent has come in contradiction to what
the Messenger brought. Can there to be found
within clear certain evidences anything greater and
clearer than this evidence and explanation?

“And the Word o f your Lord has been fulfilled in truth

and in justice. ” 48

It is true in its information and ju st in its laws and

legislation.

From the evidence:

The Precision o f the SharVah, the

Truth o f its Inform ation and the
Uniformity o f Its Laws

From the clear evidences o f Allah’s Oneness, the

truthfulness o f His Messengers and the reality of
what they came with: is that the entire Shari’ah is
precise within the epitome o f attractiveness and
structured arrangement. Its information
corroborates itself, its realities coincide and its laws
are in mutual harmony. Mankind could not suggest
anything similar in beauty and in its agreement to
every time and place, its applicability in all situations
and its abiding according to guidance, right
instruction, correctness and righteousness without
self-contradiction, variance, purposelessness,
deficiency or defect.

The more it is focused upon in contemplation by any

scholar possessing vision, the more he will know that
it has the most truthful and beneficial information
for the hearts and that its laws are most becoming
and righteous as regards worship, interactions and
its details pertaining individual and community
rights.

He, the exalted, said:

the P r e c i s i o n o f t h e s h a r i ’a h , t h e T r u t h o f i t s
IN F O R M A T IO N A N D T H E U N IF O R M IT Y OF ITS LAWS

“Do they not then consider the Qur'an carefully? Had

it been fro m other than Allah, they would surely have
found therein much contradictions. ” 49

So Allah alerted the people o f intelligence and logic

about this tremendous clear evidence that is from
the greatest, clearest and most obvious proof that it
is from Him, that all o f it is true and that what
contradicts it is falsehood.

He, the exalted, said:

“And those who have been given knowledge see that

what is revealed to you (O Muhammad) from your
Lord is the truth, and guides to the Path o f the Exalted
in Might, Owner o f all praise. ” 50

Hasn’t this religion come with every truth and

confirmed the truthful? Hasn’t it dissuaded every lie
and banished the liars? Hasn’t it encouraged perfect
justice regarding the rights o f Allah and the creation?
Hasn’t it forbidden all oppression, transgression,
evils and corruption?

Isn’t it built upon faith, sincerity and monotheism

while forbidding what negates that o f polytheism and
assigning rival deities? Doesn’t it order with kind
treatment o f parents, closeness to relatives and
kindness to neighbors, the poor and to the generality

o f creation, even to animals, and hasn’t He informed

that He loves those who show kindness?

Hasn’t it ordered fulfilling agreements, contracts,

promises and oaths while forbidding betrayal,
violating oaths and transgression?

Hasn’t it encouraged acting upon beneficial means

regarding the world and the religion and ordered us
not to rely upon them but rather to rely upon the
causer o f the means and to hope for the favor or the
Lord o f all that exists.

Hasn’t it made every pure thing lawful for us while

forbidding us from all filth? Hasn’t it encouraged us
upon every beneficial matter while warning us of
what is harmful?
Hasn’t it ordered us with patience over what is
disliked and gratitude for what is liked and is
pleasing?

Hasn’t it prohibited us from ingratitude, anguishing,

cowardice, timidity and all despicable character
traits? Hasn’t it encouraged us to have strength,
courage, chastity and all beautiful character traits?

Hasn’t it ordered us with everything deemed to be

good by the religion, intellect and predisposition
while not forbidding anything except what the
religion, intellect and predisposition deem as
reprehensible? It hasn’t ordered anything except that
people o f sound intellect viewed it to be the most
becoming and fair o f matters while not forbidding
anything except for that which is from the most
hideous and vile o f traits.

It clearly explained authentic, beneficial beliefs

without which the heart cannot be corrected and
made them the foundation upon which all
statements, actions and all affairs o f the religion as
well as the world are built. It brought honorable
character and righteous deeds that rectify
individuals and societies and set worship and
interactions aright.

Which immediate or eventual goodness, guidance

and righteousness w asn’t explained by it and called
to? Which immediate or eventual evil, corruption
and harm didn’t it warn against its paths and
behaviors?

Which fundamental, principle, information and law

from its fundamentals, principles, information and
laws is contradicted by genuine knowledge or
opposed by upright, sound intellects or systems?

Much rather, the irrefutable evidence stands that

anything based upon any foundation besides it is
harmful and devastated and every structure built
upon other than its teachings and rules will end up
in collapse and ruin and any system derived from
anything else will have a horrible ending.

This is because the one who revealed it knows all

that is unseen and all that is witnessed. He is the All
Mighty, All Wise, who encompasses everything in
knowledge, whose mercy and benevolence extends to
everything. He has guaranteed success and
happiness for those who establish it and are upright
upon it while promising reward and achievement for
those who worship Him according to it and take it as
their religion for Allah’s sake.

“Those who follow the Messenger, the Prophet who
can neither read nor write (i.e. Muhammad) whom
they fin d written with them in the Taurat (Torah)
(Deut, xviii, 15) and the Injeel (Gospel) (John xiv, 16), -
he commands them fo r A l-M a’ru f (i.e. Islamic
Monotheism and all that Islam has ordained); and
forbids them fro m Al-Munkar (i.e. disbelief, polytheism
o f all kinds, and all that Islam has forbidden); he
allows them as lawful At-Taiyibat [(i.e. all good and
lawful) as regards things, deeds, beliefs, persons,
foods, etc.], and prohibits them as unlawful Al-
Khaba’ith (i.e. all evil and unlawful as regards things,
deeds, beliefs, persons, foods, etc.), he releases them
from their heavy burdens (o f Allah's Covenant), and
from the fetters (bindings) that were upon them. So
those who believe in him (Muhammad SAW), honor
him, help him, and follow the light (the Qur'an) which

has been sent down with him, it is they who will be

successful. ” 51

“Verily, Allah enjoins Al-Adl (i.e. justice) and Al-Ihsan

[i.e. to be patient in performing your duties to Allah],
and giving (help) to kith and kin (i.e. all that Allah has
ordered you to give them e.g., wealth, visiting, looking
after them, or any other kind o f help, etc.): and forbids
Al-Fahsha' (i.e. all evil deeds), and Al-Munkar (i.e. all
that is prohibited by Islamic law) and Al-Baghy (i.e. all
kinds o f oppression), He admonishes you, that you
may take heed. ” 52

“And the Word o f your Lord has been fulfilled in truth

and in justice. ” 53

So this Quran and this Shari’ah has the most perfect

o f attributes and majestic o f qualities and its
contents in every instance and source explain these
qualities for which there is no success for mankind
unless they know them, traverse according to them
and take its light as guidance and actualize its
realities and inner wisdoms.

From the evidence:

The truthfulness o f the messengers

and the obligation to respect them
and give their statements precedence

From the clear evidences o f His Oneness and

Perfection and His being singled out with
Magnificence and Perfection: is that the truthfulness
o f the Messengers and what they brought is a reality
as affirmed by an assortment o f evidences and signs
whose types and individual instances are
uncountable. This is especially the case with
Muhammad, their leader and the best o f them.

It has been affirmed that it is mandatory upon the

creation to recognize the status o f the prophets and
their being distinguished by having all attributes of
merit beyond all other levels o f the creation, and that
believing in them, loving, respecting and holding
them in high esteem is from the most mandatory of
obligations and duties.

Also it is mandatory that the hearts o f the slaves

magnify and submit to what they brought, to such
an extent that all other stated beliefs vanish and that
their statements are not opposed by anything of
“intellectual” arguments, analogies and tastes or
anything else the people o f falsehood affiliate with.
Much rather, the faith o f the servant is not complete
until they make the statements o f the Messengers
the root o f all fundamentals and the basis that
everything else is referred to.

TO RESPECT T H E M A N D G IV E T H E I R STATEMENTS PR E C E D E N C E

It is known that the core o f their call and its basis is

the invitation to singling out Allah and knowing Him,
to worshipping Him and making deeds sincere for
Him. The irrefutable undeniable evidences are
established for their truthfulness and the validity of
what they came with.

So it becomes definite for every morally accountable

person possessing religion and intellect that they
must recognize what they brought without any
restriction or precondition because the basis is valid,
the foundation is affirmed with certainty and all that
contrasts it is false because whatever contrasts the
truth is falsehood.

So whoever submits to the intellectual arguments of

the sophistic or the theories o f falsifiers and then
gives that precedence over what the Messengers
brought, has proven the deficiency o f his mind and
much rather the loss of his religion.

This is all for the sake o f argument allowing the

possibility that there are actually logical matters that
contradict what the Messengers came with! How
much more is the case when all valid logical
arguments support what the Messengers came with
and are from the greatest testimony for their
truthfulness? Contradiction in logic only happens
with foolish minded people, who are arrogant
because o f their information and futile opinions.
And Allah’s help is sought.

The Words o f Shaikh A l Islaam Ibn

Taimiyah about the Signs o f the
Prophets

“The signs of the Prophets are from that which the

intelligent know to be particularly for them and not
for any besides them. They know Allah hasn’t
created their likes for other than the Prophets
whether regarding their signs that happened during
the lives o f their people or their signs by which Allah
distinguished between their followers and their
beliers by saving those and destroying these. They
are not o f the normal type o f feats done by others.

The likes o f this is Allah drowning all the people of

earth except for Noah and those who boarded the ark
with him. Nothing similar has ever happened in the
world.

Also is the likes o f the destruction o f the people of

A ’ad, Iram with its high pillars whose likes were not
created elsewhere in the land. Despite their
populous numbers, power and tremendous
civilization the likes of which had not been created
elsewhere, they were then destroyed by scorching
devastating wind unleashed upon them incessantly
for seven nights and eight days until they became
like the trunks o f collapsed date palm trees while
Hud and whoever followed him were saved. The likes
of this never happened elsewhere in the world.

Likewise were the people o f Saalih, the dwellers of

cities and dwellings in the pastures, mountains and
orchards who were all destroyed with a single awful
cry. The likes o f this had never existed in the world.
T H E W O R D S OF S H A IK H AL ISLAAM IB N T A IM IY A H ABO U T TH E
S IG N S OF T H E P R O PH E T S

Likewise there were the people o f Lot, the dwellers of

multiple cities that were lifted into the sky and then
turned over upon them and then furthermore
followed up by stones from the heavens to finish off
anyone remaining. Lot and his family were saved
except for his wife who was stricken with her fate.
The likes o f this never happened elsewhere in the
world.

The intelligent know o f these signs in general and

that they are not the type o f things people normally
die from. Some people may get a plague and some
may get leprosy and the likes and this is what people
are used to. It is from Allah’s signs in a different
way, and every major occurrence is from Allah’s
signs but these signs are not what are normally
experienced.

Likewise is the case of the KaT)ah. It is a house of

stone in a valley with no vegetation. There was none
to safeguard if from an enemy or any gardens,
orchards or other affairs that people desired. There
is nothing to attract or frighten off people. Despite
that He protected it with respect and magnification.
Everyone who comes to it does so submissively and
humble to the epitome o f humility and He made it
have an attraction such as that people come to it
from the ends o f the earth out o f love and
anxiousness without any worldly incentive. It has
been in this state for thousands o f years. This is not
known to exist for any other structure in the world
besides it and this has bewildered the philosophers
and their likes.

Likewise is the case with what Allah did to the army

o f the elephant when they intended to destroy it. A
huge army with an elephant intended this to the
 T H E L O G IC A L P R O O F S F O R T H E O N E N E S S A N D 63
P E R F E C T IO N O F A L LA H

extent that its inhabitants fled from it. The elephant

knelt and refused to move to its position and when
they directed it to any other direction it moved
towards it. Then flocks o f birds came upon them
from the ocean, one mass after another stoning them
with pebbles upon which they all perished. The likes
o f this never happened elsewhere in the world.

So the signs o f the prophets are signs and evidences

o f their truthfulness.

Included in this is Allah’s divine law regarding

separating between the prophets, their followers and
those who reject them ...”

Then he mentioned verses about the destruction o f the

deniers o f the Messengers and the salvation o f the
Messengers. Then he said:

“These stories were widespread and reported with

impeccable plurality throughout the world. The
people knew that they were signs o f the prophets and
punishments for their deniers. As such they
remember them in similar situations in order to take
lesson. The verses o f the Quran survive throughout
the lengths o f time. Since the time the messenger
brought it, the verses o f challenge have been recited
along with His saying:
64 T H E W O R D S OF S H A IK H AL ISLAAM IB N T A IM IY A H A BO U T TH E
Si g n s o f t h e p r o p h e t s

Say: "If the mankind and the jinns were together to

produce the like o f this Qur'an, they could not produce
the like thereof, even if they helped one another." 54

The very fact that the Messenger informed o f this

since the beginning and was certain about it despite
his knowing the abundant numbers o f people is a
proof that it is supernatural, thus rendering the two
weighty species incapable o f disagreeing with it. This
doesn’t happen for anyone other than the prophets.
Then furthermore despite the length of time in which
those who agree or disagree hear it from the Arabs
and non-Arabs, there has not been a book read by
people amongst the nations which can be said to be
like it.

This is known by all. There is no speech people

utter, no matter how high its level in wording and
meaning, except that people have said what is
similar, what resembles it or is close to it, whether it
be poetry, sermon, letter form or otherwise. Nothing
of that sort can be found except that what resembles
it or comes close to it can also be found.

The Quran is known to have no comparison by all

people Arab and non-Arab despite the ferventness of
the Arab and others to oppose it.

Its wording is a sign, its structure is a sign, its

informing about the unseen in a sign, its order and
prohibiting is a sign, its promise and threat is a sign,
its majesty, greatness and authority over the hears is
a sign. When it is translated to other than Arabic, its
meanings are a sign. There is no comparison in the
world to it in any o f that.”

 T H E L O G IC A L P R O O F S F O R T H E O N E N E S S A N D
P E R F E C T IO N O F A L L A H

From the evidence:

What the Messengers Brought is True

and Beneficial and Whatever Opposes
it is False

From the logical evidences o f Allah’s Oneness and

the truthfulness o f His Messengers: is that it was He
that sent all of them, especially their leader and the
final one o f them, Muhammad. They came with the
beneficial truth so all o f their information is true and
truthful; all of their laws are truth, justice and
wisdom. No truth remains except that they brought
it, explained it and encouraged the creation to do it
and there is no falsehood except that they clarified it
and warned the creation from it.

This fundamental is agreed upon between all who

genuinely recognize the stations o f the prophets. We
know for certain that whoever claims that there is
any intellect or matter o f logic contradicting this
fundamental that the Messengers came with, that his
logic is corrupt and his claim is false. For indeed the
sound mind doesn’t oppose the clear truth.

From that which clarifies and supports this is that

the truth brought by the Messengers, whether
information or in ruling, is clear infallible truth, not
categorized into praiseworthy and blameworthy but
rather all o f it is true and praiseworthy. As for what
the opponents o f the Messengers claim o f matters of
logic then they rely upon logical claims that are
categorized into truth and falsehood, and into being
praiseworthy and blameworthy by the agreement of
the intelligent.

A N D W H A T E V E R O P P O S E S IT IS FALSE

Those who adhere to this are at tremendous variance

with each other. Each o f them has logical claims
they support while criticizing the logical claims of
others. They are in a state o f stumbling, confusion
and irreconcilable differing. He, the exalted, said:

“Nay, but they have denied the truth (this Qur'an)

when it has come to them, so they are in a confused
state (cannot differentiate between right and wrong). ”
55

So are the followers o f these misguided, ignorant,

stumbling people more rightful o f acknowledgment
than the followers o f Allah’s Messengers who are the
most knowledgeable, guided, truthful, virtuous and
loftiest o f creation regarding every perfect attribute?

They were free o f every shortcoming, defect and

error. They were infallible in their statements and
actions while tremendous scriptures were revealed
upon them by the Magnificent Lord. It is the source
of guidance, the spring o f mercy, goodness, right
instruction and light and it is the foundation of
happiness and success.

Allah has made a variety o f evidences proving their

truthfulness and the authenticity o f what they came
with, that it is the truth and all else is falsehood,
that it is light, mercy and goodness and all else is
compound darkness, evils and corruption:

55 Q a f [50:5]
 T he lo g ic a l pro ofs fo r t h e o n e n e s s a n d
P E R F E C T IO N OF ALLAH

“Then in which speech after Allah and His Ay at will

they believe? Woe to every sinful liar, who hears the
Verses o f Allah (being) recited to him, yet persists with
pride as if he heard them not. So announce to him a
painful torment!” 56

By Allah, the paths have been made clear for those

who will traverse, the evidences and proofs o f the
truth are manifest to those with certainty. Guidance
and certain light is apparent to those with vision and
the argument is established against the obstinate.

Accordingly, all o f the doomed opponents o f the

Messengers admit that they opposed the Messengers
and opposed the intellect. They said:

"Had we but listened or used our intelligence, we

would not have been among the dwellers o f the
blazing Fire!" Then they will confess their sin. So,
away with the dwellers o f the blazing Fire. 57

From the evidence:

The Innate Predisposition o f People,

Particularly the Messengers

Also, from the logical evidences o f Allah’s Oneness,

freedom o f need and creation’s dire need of Him: is
what Allah innately created His slaves upon,
especially the specially chosen o f creation from the
prophets and Messengers, who are the leaders of
guidance, the lanterns in the dark, the possessors of
unfailing minds and keen intelligence, those who are
the loftiest level o f creation.

For they were innately predisposed to perfectly

recognize Allah’s Oneness and that He is the one to
be intended and worshipped in all circumstances.
This matter became the greatest, clearest and most
venerable reality in their heart. This is essential,
rudimentary knowledge that none could possible
deflect.

The one who denies that has nothing to deflect this

certain knowledge and evidence laden path away
with except merely not knowing about it due to
corrupt perception, being busied with corrupt beliefs
and being averse to seeking guidance.

It is known and agreed on by the intelligent that not

knowing something isn’t really even a considerable
doubt let alone an evidence to deflect the strongest,
most obvious and true evidences away from those
with knowledge and certainty, who are the most
truthful, and righteous in intellect and the purest o f
heart.

This certainty in the hearts o f these people who are

the leaders o f the first and last o f generations cannot
be equaled or approached by anything. Accordingly,
the Messengers said to their nations:

4I1I

“Is there any doubt about A llah?” 58

He, the exalted, said:

" Then in which speech after Allah and His Ay at will

they believe? Woe to every sinful liar, who hears the
Verses o f Allah (being) recited to him, yet persists with
pride as if he heard them not. So announce to him a
painful torment!” 59

This rudimentary, certain knowledge is unanimously

agreed upon between the people o f knowledge and
certainty and by those who are the loftiest o f creation
in every perfect quality. It is the most perfect, clear
and venerable knowledge to them to the extent that it
is utterly impossible that knowledge o f certain
realities o f anything else could approach it. So
whoever doubts it or is hesitant regarding it has
provided proof o f their ignorance, misguidance and
stupidity and that is clear arrogance. And Allah
alone can truly guide.

The Consensus o f the Muslim s and

Those who knew the Situation o f the
Prophet

From the greatest o f evidences that the truth

pertaining all genuine, beneficial realities is what
was brought by the Messenger Muhammad: is the
consensus o f all Muslims and everyone who knew
the situation o f the Prophet, about the fact that he
was absolutely the most knowledgeable o f creation
about Allah and about all beneficial realities, and
that he was the greatest o f them in explaining, the
clearest in expression and most eloquent and sincere
in advising the creation.

When these affairs are perfected -and they were

perfected in the most complete and total way within
Muhammad to the extent that none can approach or
come close to him in knowledge, eloquence and
sincere advice- it is then known with certain
essential knowledge that everything he brought was
the truth without a doubt.

This is especially the case regarding monotheism and

his tremendous explanation that Allah has beautiful
names and lofty, perfect attributes that He is singled
out with alone and shares with none in. This by
itself is a sufficient proof for anyone with the least
intelligence or cares to listen and bear witness.

It is utterly amazing that a person would disagree

with what this tremendous prophet came with -the
one who brought a religious law greater, more perfect
and more genuine than anything the world had ever
experienced- on account o f the statements o f the
 The l o g ic a l p r o o fs f o r t h e o n e n e s s a n d
P E R F E C T IO N OF ALLAH

materialists who were foolish minded and corrupt in

reason. It is clear that everything they opposed the
religions with is ignorance, misguidance and clear
arrogance. That is well known by looking into every
issue they opposed the Messengers in.
Allah said concerning their reality and those like
them:

I I ljil£ Lit (j"? Tie. Uu I^a.j3 C.'' lullJ

AT ;j i b i ] { { O jj Aj] .

“Then when their Messengers came to them with clear

proofs, they were glad (and proud) with that which
they had o f the knowledge (o f worldly things): And
that at which they used to mock, surrounded them
(i.e. the punishm ent).”

In Summary

All that exists, all that occurs, all that is known and
everything in motion are proofs and clear evidences
o f the Oneness o f the Nurturing Lord o f the earth
and heavens:

Who originated the universe from nothing?

Who controls and disposes all affairs?

Who created the heavens and earth, and has

protected them by His power while holding them in
their places?

Who created the human being from sperm, only for

him to become His clear adversary?
72 IN S U M M A R Y

Who causes death and life, causes happiness and

misery, destroyed the transgressing nations with all
sorts of punishments by way o f example and saved
the Messengers and their followers?

Certainly there are clear lessons and signs in all of

that.

Who created the seed and the pit, and cleft the earth
with rivers and springs? Isn’t that from the effects of
the One who merely says: “Be” and it is?

Who bestowed each thing with its appropriate

appearance and then guided each creature to that
which alone would benefit it?
Who inspired knowledge o f the various sciences and
disciplines?

Who brought forth moist fruit from dry branches?

Who made everything with perfect precision with the

epitome o f wisdom and perfect, exact structure?

Who set the clouds bursting with enormous rain on

their course causing it to fall upon the people and
the land?

Isn’t He the one who will resurrect the creation after

their death for the day o f gathering and mutual
rebuke?

How amazing is it that there are souls that deny the

Lord and the resurrection o f the dead! How astray
and blind!

How don’t they recognize this issue which is the

greatest, clearest and most unmistakable o f all
issues!

He is a tremendous God who has never ceased being

God, a tremendous Divine King whose dominion has
no end. He has enveloped all in existence with His
mercy and sustenance, not leaving or forgetting an
atoms worth.

He hears the moans o f the chronically ill, responds to

the requests o f those who ask and graciously
bestows His forgiveness and mercy on those who
repent.

Conclusion

Oh Allah, we ask you by your beautiful names and

lofty attributes to provide us with complete faith,
true certainty and to benefit us by Your clear signs
that are heard, Your signs that are witnessed, Your
signs within the horizons and Your signs in our
selves. Certainly, they are clear evidences for those
with certain faith and are signs for those with vision.
They are a proof against the obstinate and arrogant
and mercy and kindness from You upon all of
creation.

Oh Allah! Exalt the mention o f Muhammad, grant

him peace and bless him as well as his family,
companions and followers until the Day of
Judgment. And forgive us and our parents and all o f
the Muslims, those who are living as well as the
deceased. Ameen.
