The case for Allah’s existence

In today’s world, the scientific method is upheld as the only way to ascertain truth. This first lesson begins with a critique of our contemporary worldview and turns to the more holistic Qur’anic point of view to explore the question: does God exist?

Every culture across time and space has attempted to connect with a transcendent being. This is because of our human fitrah, or primordial nature to seek God. In this lesson, students will reflect on their fitrah and recognize that nurturing it will lead to a life-long journey towards God, while neglecting it will lead to its corruption.

In the final lesson of this unit, students will explore two mind-based ways of establishing the existence of God: the teleological argument and the kalam cosmological argument. Through the exploration of these two arguments, students will be able to logically conclude that God most certainly exists.
