Does God Exist? Clear Evidence from the Qur’an and Hadith
The question “Does God exist?” is not new. Islam answers this question with clear evidence from human nature (fitrah), logic, and most importantly, the Qur’an and authentic Hadith. Allah does not ask people to believe blindly, but to reflect and think.
1. Belief in Allah Is Part of Human Nature (Fitrah)
Islam teaches that every human is born with an innate belief in one Creator. This natural belief is called Fitrah. Even people who deny God often turn to Him instinctively in moments of fear or hardship.
“So direct your face toward the religion, inclining to truth. Adhere to the fitrah of Allah upon which He has created all people.”
— Qur’an 30:30
Hadith Evidence:
“The Prophet ﷺ said: Every child is born upon fitrah; then his parents make him a Jew, a Christian, or a Magian.”
— Sahih al-Bukhari 1358, Sahih Muslim 2658
2. Nothing Can Come from Nothing
The universe exists. It had a beginning. Everything that begins to exist needs a cause. Islam challenges humanity with a powerful logical question:
“Were they created by nothing? Or were they themselves the creators?”
— Qur’an 52:35
This verse clearly rejects both ideas: creation from nothing and self-creation. The only logical conclusion is the existence of a Creator who is eternal and uncreated — Allah.
3. The Creation of the Universe Is a Sign of Allah
The Qur’an repeatedly invites people to observe the heavens, the earth, and themselves. The order, balance, and precision in creation are signs of divine design.
“Indeed, in the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the alternation of the night and the day, are signs for people of understanding.”
— Qur’an 3:190
“We created everything with precise measure.”
— Qur’an 54:49
4. Allah Is Independent, Eternal, and Unique
Islam clearly defines who God is. Allah does not depend on creation, nor does He resemble anything.
“Allah — there is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of all existence.”
— Qur’an 2:255 (Ayat al-Kursi)
“Say: He is Allah, the One. Allah, the Eternal Refuge. He neither begets nor is born. Nor is there to Him any equivalent.”
— Qur’an 112:1–4
5. Moral Awareness Comes from Allah
All humans recognize justice, truth, and wrongdoing. Islam teaches that this moral compass is placed within the soul by Allah.
“And [by] the soul and He who proportioned it, and inspired it with its wickedness and its righteousness.”
— Qur’an 91:7–8
6. The Qur’an Is Direct Evidence of Allah
The Qur’an is not a human book. It challenges humanity to produce even one chapter like it, a challenge that has remained unmet for over 1400 years.
“And if you are in doubt about what We have revealed to Our servant, then produce a surah like it.”
— Qur’an 2:23
“This Qur’an could not have been produced by anyone other than Allah.”
— Qur’an 10:37
7. Allah Is Near and Responds to Those Who Seek Him
Islam does not present God as distant or unreachable. Allah is near and responds to sincere prayers.
“And when My servants ask you concerning Me, indeed I am near. I respond to the call of the supplicant when he calls upon Me.”
— Qur’an 2:186
Hadith Evidence:
“Allah is more merciful to His servants than a mother is to her child.”
— Sahih al-Bukhari 5999, Sahih Muslim 2754
Conclusion
Islam answers the question “Does God exist?” with overwhelming clarity. Through human nature, reason, the universe, the Qur’an, and authentic Hadith, the existence of Allah is firmly established.
Allah invites every person to reflect, seek sincerely, and return to Him:
“So where are you going?”
— Qur’an 81:26
