The Divine Reality

The Divine Reality by Hamza Andreas Tzortzis is a deeply reasoned, intellectually rigorous yet spiritually enriching book of 376 pages that presents a synthesis of rational argumentation and Islamic revelation.

The author embarks on a thoughtful, existential journey, combining logic, philosophy and Islamic theology to argue for the existence of God, the truth of the Qur'an, and the prophethood of Muhammad ﷺ.

The Questions It Takes On

• Do hope, happiness and human value make sense without the Divine?
• Do we have an ultimate purpose?
• Can we have consciousness and rational minds without God?
• Did the universe come from nothing?
• Does evil and suffering negate Divine mercy?
• Has scientific progress led to the denial of God?
• Are revelation and prophethood myths?
• Is God worthy of our worship?

Why a Philosophical Rather Than Purely Scriptural Approach

Because the intended reader is frequently someone who does not yet accept the Qur'an as authoritative, and citing it as evidence to such a reader argues in a circle. Tzortzis instead builds his case from premises a secular, philosophically literate reader can engage with directly.

Who It Is For

Readers with a philosophical or academic bent, university students encountering these questions formally for the first time, and anyone doing da'wah in an intellectually skeptical environment.
