alhamdulillah praise be to Allah the
creator of the heavens and the Earth and
peace and blessings is to the prophet
Muhammad sallahu alai wasallam peace be
upon
him the way of life that we as Muslims
we call everyone to adopt and to believe
in and to live according to this perfect
way of life is Islam Islam is to submit
yourself to the creator of the heavens
and the Earth and that's why for a
person to be a Muslim to submit himself
to the creator of the heavens and the
Earth the Lord of Abraham the Lord of
Moses the Lord of Jesus the Lord of
prophet Muhammad peace be upon all of
them is to
say
Muhammad there is no one worthy of
worship except Allah and that Prophet
Muhammad is the final messenger of Allah
let's examine the first part or the
first half of this testimony of
Faith what does this means there's no
one worthy of worship except Allah which
is the one only to be woried the one
worthy of worship but let's first step
back and see what are the existence or
what are the evidences that God exists
unfortunately some people and they're
not the majority on the face of Earth
they doubt the existence of the creator
of the heavens and the Earth so we need
to show them the evidences that God
exists although the matter is so clear
for those who would Ponder and look
of The Magnificent world that we live
in God the Creator the sustainer the
provider we know his names and
attributes as it's mentioned in the
Quran and in the sayings of the Prophet
peace be upon him we get to see this in
our life in every minute of Our Lives if
we have a
lamp done by a human being in such a
perfect way we can explain and say how
this human being or what the
characteristics of this human being that
manufactured the plane he was precise he
was wise enough to do it in such a way
in a round way and to have the filament
in such a way and things of that nature
we will talk about the characteristics
of the one that manufactured this bulb
or this uh uh whatever the lamp is and
we would be able to see his
characteristics but then when we look at
this magnificent world that we live in
we should use the same way of thinking
because everything around us does not
have to say it but it chose the creator
of the heavens and the Earth the skies
the Earth the rain the seasons the human
being himself how everything is set and
made in such a perfect way that it shows
the wisdom behind all of this creation
if we have sound Minds if a person sees
a ship in the middle of the ocean going
from one point to the other crossing the
ocean from one side to the other knowing
its path very precisely going in a very
direct and precise path if someone would
say that this is Just Happening by
Chance the person will be attacked and
will be said that he is someone that
doesn't have a sound mind if we use the
same sound mind that that God created in
us we would say the same thing about
this universe that we live in nothing
ever on the face of Earth happens by
itself there's no such a thing that it
happens by chance if an archaeologist is
digging in the ground and he see a
beautiful vase in front of him with
different ornaments and things that is
on this beautiful vase the first thing
that would come in his mind who made
this in which century in which Dynasty
he would not say that the particles of
the sand came together to make this
beautiful vase why because this is
something installed in the nature of the
human being that everything that a
person sees it means that somebody had
did it there is a creation and there's a
Creator this is the only way that a
person can have peace in mind on the
face of Earth that everything we see is
done by someone else but then it cannot
go forever so that's why the creator of
the heavens and the Earth is the only
way for a person to have a sound mind
one of the main evidences that God
exists is the same nature of the human
being if you go to any place on the face
of Earth you will find people are
worshiping whether they are worshiping
Idols whether they're worshiping the
true God but the need of the human being
to turn to someone that is more powerful
than the human being someone that is
perfect is a need that is in the nature
of every human being and this is in
itself shows the existence of God and
that's why it's something that as it's
mentioned in the Quran that God took the
Covenant of the son of Adam before their
creation that they would worship none
but the creator of the heavens and the
Earth and this is the meaning of the
nature of the human being if you have
someone born and raised somewhere in the
desert somewhere without no influence of
anyone he would grow up to see that this
universe that we live in the land and
the skies and the and and the rain and
one self in which we grow up in such a
Harmony he would only reach one final
conclusion that this is does not happen
by itself he would see the wisdom behind
the creation that God created alone when
we see ourselves growing we see how
perfectly we are growing no eye grows
bigger than another eye or no arm gets
longer than another arm we grow normally
in a very perfect way and this is
something that is repeated from every
one human being to the other and the
change of the season and the fruits how
each fruit has what it saves for this
fruit for for the benefit of the human
being the banana for example its skin
How It's Made in such a way so that it
saves the insides of it which is
different than the skin of the oranges
for example different than the skin of
the watermelon and so on and so forth
for what reason for the sustainment of
the life of the human being on the face
of Earth who made all of this it's the
creator of the heavens and the Earth and
that's why any logical person anything
that he sees he has to refer to someone
that manufactured it someone did it one
of the scholars in the early generations
of Al
Islam some atheists they wanted to meet
with him to discuss the same fact and
for them to know the evidence that God
exists so they set a time and he came
late
intentionally so they asked him why
you're late he said while I was coming
to you I had to cross a river and there
was nothing for me to take to cross the
river so I waited and a ship came
without no Captain without no guide it
took me from One bank to the other Bank
of the river and there was nobody on the
ship nobody is directing it no one I was
the only one there and it just moved
moved by itself they said you are crazy
there's no way this thing can happen so
he told them you're saying the same
thing about the Magnificent and the
perfect world that we live in how can
this world and the different continents
and the oceans and the skies and the
rains and the flowers and the air and
the percentages of the oxygen in the air
for us to sustain our life how can this
happen just by chance like this no one
with a sound mind would ever say that
that's why the scholars in the religion
of Al Islam they say the first important
thing for a human being to know is to
worship none but the creator of the
heavens and earth not even to worry
about the evidence of the existence of
God because everybody has this in his
own self if a person is in trouble or in
a plane for example and it's about to
fall you find the person turning to the
creator of the heavens and the Earth
alone nobody would think then does he
exist or not and this is something also
in the nature of the human being so we
as Muslims as people that submitted
themselves to the creator of the heavens
and the Earth we are calling others to
believe in the same way because this is
the only way that a person can have a
sound and a happy way of life and that
is to believe in the logic of the
existence of God for the betterment of
our life so when we say there is no one
worthy of worship except Allah what is
Allah Allah in Arabic means the one to
be woried and we have attributes about
this perfect Creator he's the Creator
he's the sustainer he's the provider he
is the all knowledgeable he is the most
perfect with his names and attributes
because this is the only way that a
person can have a proper way of
understanding things we see how the
human being created and how we change
from one stage to the other in our life
and how the matter is repeated one of
which as a simple example is smiling or
laughing and weeping God said that in
the Quran we have in the Quran the book
book of Allah that revealed to Prophet
Muhammad peace be upon him it
says that it is Allah the creator of the
heavens and the Earth he's the one that
made the human being laugh and made them
weep or cry and this by itself is a
miraculous thing in the creation of the
human being you go anywhere in the world
the people they can speak many different
languages but they all do the same thing
when it comes to laughing and crying
it's a universal language no matter how
much a person is born and lived in a
place where he doesn't even know no one
he would grow up to laugh and cry this
consistency and this creation of the
human being it's amazing if you see
someone from Europe laughing you would
get one message that this person is
happy if if another person from Africa
or from Asia or from any part of the
world laughing you will get the message
that this person is happy if you see him
or see her weeping that means he's sad
it's the consistency that it's amazing
in itself that shows that things are not
done or happened just by chance it
happened by the great wisdom of the
creator of the heavens and the Earth the
same thing when we see the
fingerprints each human being on the
face of Earth since the creation of Adam
till the day of judgment each and every
human being has his own unique
fingerprint isn't that amazing
there's no two people on the face of
Earth will have identical fingerprints
even identical twins which is an amazing
thing in itself that doesn't come by
chance so if we want to be normal human
being intellectual human beings in which
we do businesses and we work in this
life and we would call someone that he
lost his mind if he says that a plane
can fly from one place to the other by
chance or a ship that can cool from one
point to the other by chance or even a
person person or we can see a camera or
a TV or whatever there is just done by
particles getting together by chance no
one on the face of Earth would say this
so why can't we be
consistent why can't we Perpetual in our
thinking and our understanding and we do
the same thing this whole universe that
is created it just shouts out that the
Creator is one and he is the most wise
and these are the characteristics as we
talked about the example of the lamp
it's the same thing you were able to say
that this human being that manufactured
the plane or the TV or whatever he's a
wise person he's a knowledgeable person
he has certain qualities so the same
thing but even more perfect the creator
of the heavens and the Earth his
characteristics characteristics are such
and such and such and he's the most
perfect because life is perfect someone
might say but there are evil present on
the face of Earth there are people
killing one another how can a God that
is so merciful would allow such horrible
acts to happen on the face of Earth the
answer to this is there is good and evil
and this has come by the wisdom of the
Creator how can a person know what is
good if there's no evil how would we
know what is bitter if there's nothing
sweet the Opposites it's part of the way
of the creator of the heavens and the
earth that is present on Earth we have
to see the Opposites for us to see what
is what so for people to know what is
good for people to be patient for people
to strive and to seek the pleasure of
the Creator which is the purpose of our
life is to worship him alone for all
these great meanings to be present there
has to be some sufferings there has to
be some evil things to happen for people
to oppose that to oppose that for the
good people to oppose it for the good
people to show their goodness in their
life and as a result they will be
rewarded after this life according to
the goodness that they did in this life
so everything fits in its place
everything by the most wise the most
knowledgeable the creator of the heavens
and the Earth and in the Quran it
directs the human being in the Quran
actually and this is a call for everyone
to go and read the Quran open the Quran
and you will see for yourself that this
is a miraculous word of God you would
see in it evidences of the existence of
God calling the human being to ponder
over his own self as God says in
the which means and in your own self
there are signs of the existence of God
won't you just look and ponder over it
and This Magnificent body that we live
and we have and our soul and the
different how can I move my hand and put
it down it's such a complicated movement
that goes in between the brain and the
nerves and everything that it's amazing
and it's repeating itself and it's
consistent in every single human being
and some people won't have this ability
for others to appreciate what they have
for the one that loses it it to be
patient and to seek help and to turn to
the creator of the heavens and the Earth
and that's why most of the human being
they believe in one God and again this
is one of the main evidences to the
existence of the creator of the heavens
and the Earth as God says that in the
Quran that if you ask them who created
the heavens and the Earth they would say
Allah the only one to be worshiped and
this is the nature of the human being so
we should not go against this and we
should humble ourselves to the fact and
to the same laws that we go by in our
daily life we should do the same thing
when it comes to the creator of the
heavens and the
earth I ask the creator of the heavens
and the Earth to guide us to make us see
the truth and to make us steadfast in
the truth and after we know the
existence of God then we need to know
how to worship him alone and I ask the
creator of the heavens and earth to
guide us and thank you very much and
hopefully get to see you again
peace and blessing be unto the Prophet
Muhammad
