   Is It True That Allah Exists?

When we see everything around us, there is one of our thoughts that comes to a question:
"Why Do All Exist ?" 
While all the things that we can see there are many things that impossibly we can made it, like sky objects including ourselves etc.

There are at least 4 ways to prove that Allah exists.

1. With human nature from birth.
Every child who was born to the earth, naturally has the nature to believe in God or believe in the Creator. And when the child is growing up, it is usually his parents who will determine the child's faith or may not have any faith at all.

2. With common sense.
Every creature cannot create itself because it did not exist before it was created. Thus, it means that there is something capable of creating it.
For example, when we see a house, it's impossible happen by itself, it must be human have made it. Likewise, this universe, it couldn't have existed if no one created it.

In Islamic teachings something like this is the use of the Aql argument, which is an argument based on human logic (common sense). And it is what guides humans in understanding something that cannot be doubted.

3. With shari'a.
With the existence of celestial books such as the Torah, the Psalms, the Gospels, the Qoran, all of which came from The Best Creator of this universe which was delivered through His Apostles.

In Islamic teachings something like this is the use of the Naql argument, which comes from the holy book Al-Qoran and Hadith Sahih.

These two arguments (Aql and Naql) will complement each other in their functions, so that can strengthen human beliefs about the truth.

4. With heart and taste.
For example, when du'a (the prayer) is answered, when feeling the wind, even though we can't see the wind what it looks like, etc.

From the fourth ways above, then comes a rule or a teaching commonly called "Religion"

Now, how to determine the truth of a religion?

The characteristics that must be known and remembered are as follows:

a. The time of revelation sent down can be determined certainty, and does not grow from the society but it is passed down to the society.

b. Delivered to the society through His Messengers. They did not create religion but only conveyed religion.
(This is what distinguishes between Celestial's Religion with the Culture's Religion)

c. Have a Holy Book.

d. The teachings are absolute so there is no need for change and improvement.

e. The concept of God is absolute monotheism.

f. The truth of the teachings is universal, which applies to all humans, times and circumstances.

Therefore, when someone looks for the truth about a religion, it is not objective if only looking at some of the behavior of who embrace that religion, but it would be very objective if studying the scriptures and all the rules of religious law as its substance.

Hopefully it will be an afterthought for all of us.
