Ten Proofs for the Existence of God — Page xiv

vi For this, Huzoor begins by demonstrating through reason and logic that sight alone is not the ultimate arbiter of truth, rather human beings are able to determine objects, concepts and information by the other five senses and also through such things as intelligence and intuition. After demonstrating the falsity of this assertion, Huzoor then turns to the verses of the Holy Qur’an to posit ten arguments in support of the belief in the existence of God. Some of the proofs he offers are similar in nature and content to the established arguments that theists have used for centuries. For example, the intricate complexity of our universe and the idea that something as well-ordered, functional and beautiful must be seen as irrefutable evidence of a creator. Outside of these more traditional arguments, Huzoor also uses other proofs from the Holy Qur’an, primarily the promise of divine support for all messengers and prophets as well as the truth and fulfilment of revelation to show that God exists. Bold, compelling and extensive is a thought-provoking read which will cause the reader to once again ponder over this most important of questions. This essay was originally published in March 1913
