Logical Arguments for the Existence of God 133 home. They claim that God converses with them, listens to them, answers them, and helps them when they are in need. In short, all the Prophets and Messengers bear witness in most clearly defined and unambiguous words that there is a God who is the Creator and Master of this universe. As stated above, their testimony is not based on hearsay but on their personal experience and observa- tion and is not limited to any one country, people or age; indeed, such testimony is found in every country among every people and has been given in every age. A dam as , N uh as [Noah], Y u nus as [ Jonah] and Ayy u b as [ Job], Ibr a h i m as [Abraham] and L ut as [Lot], Ism a‘i l as [Ishmael] and Is ha q as [Isaac], Ya‘q u b as [ Jacob] and Y u suf as [ Joseph], M u s a as , [Moses] and H a r u n as [Aaron], D awu d as [David] and Suleim a n as [Solomon], Zakariyy a as [Zachariah] and Ya h y a as [ John], all bear witness to it. Mas ih [the Messiah] of Nazareth bears witness to it. Zartasht [Zoroaster], Confucius, Krishan, and Ramachandra bear witness to it. Hadrat Muhammad Mu st af a [the Chosen One], peace and blessings of Allah be on him, bears witness to it. In this age, the Promised Messiah, may peace be on him, bears witness to it.

These are people whose truthfulness, honesty, and integrity is accepted by friends and foes. Even the enemies, who may not accept their faith, acclaimed their right- eousness and truthfulness. These Prophets were not insane, inad- equate, or fanatics; indeed, they were granted the best abilities of hearts and minds. Therefore, their testimony should be regarded as beyond contention and most powerful.
