Seek The Signs of Allah

How do we know that Allah exists? The first and foremost requirement for a person to become a Muslim is to believe wholeheartedly that Allah exists — the one and only God.

He cannot be seen by a human or any living creature. In simpler words, Allah is invisible, and will remain so for the rest of the world's existence until the Day the universe comes to an end.

Why This Is the Right First Question

Because every other belief a Muslim holds depends on it. A young reader who has never actually thought through why he believes Allah exists — rather than simply having been told to — is more vulnerable to having that belief unsettled later by a confident-sounding argument he has no answer to.

This book addresses the question directly and at an accessible level, using the signs the Qur'an itself points to: the order of creation, the design evident in the natural world, and the testimony of human conscience and reason.

What Is Covered

The signs (ayat) of Allah's existence in creation, written for a young or newly interested reader without assuming prior philosophical training.

Who It Is For

Young readers and teenagers encountering questions about the existence of God for the first time in a serious way, and parents wanting a resource pitched at that level.
