A REBUTTAL OF ATHEISM Atheist Question: If God does not have a body, than what is He? Answer: A body is something that can be weighed in pounds and kilograms, or measured in length and width. God is a light that is free from all forms of defect. God Almighty states: اللهُ نُورُ السَّمَوتِ وَالْأَرْضِ When we reflect upon the soul we come to know for certain that there are also such things in the world that do not have a physical body, yet they exist. Allah the Exalted says: وفِي أَنْفُسِكُمْ أَفَلَا تُبْصِرُونَ One argument in favour of the existence of God Almighty is that 1. Allah is the Light of the heavens and the earth. (Sūrah an-Nūr, 24:36) [Publisher] 2. And also in your own selves. Will you not then see? (Surah adh-Dhariyāt 51:22) [Publisher]
