 Must agree with the reality and be a
verifiable fact
 Rational conclusion, we limit ourselves to
what we can perceive and sense

15. Examples of the Limited
 We can see that man is born and dies

16. Examples of Limited
 Man can only grow a certain height and
size

17. Examples of Limited
 The earth, moon and stars likewise have a
starting and end point
 The life of a star or galaxy may be a very
long period of time, but they are definitely
limited in that they all have a starting and
ending

18. Universe is Limited
 Everything within the universe is limited in
size, and has a beginning and an ending
 The universe is the sum of all the limited
things in contains
 What is contains is limited, finite things

19. Universe is Limited
 The sum of a limited, finite things is limited
finite
 Although the universe is very large, it is
made up of limited parts
 Something made of limited parts would
deem the total (sum) limited

20. Everything is Dependent
 Man, life and the universe is that all of
these are needy and dependent
 To exist, they must have assistance from
something else, they are not self
sustaining

21. Let’s look at an example
What is Ishraq Dependent on to exist?
Parents

22. Another Example
What is this tree Dependent on to exist?

23. PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER…

25. The Question mark….
The source of which everything relies upon
has to be Independent and Unlimited

26. The Universe has a Cause
 The cause of the universe is:
 ‘Unlimited’ and beyond creation
 Not subject to time or space, as this is
attribute of creation
 Is a being that has a will to create…how else
can a timeless being bring the universe into
existence?
 Not subject to the laws that govern the
universe

27. A Creator Exists
 We have examined the existence of a
Creator, what is the relationship with the
Creator?
 The interrelationships with man, life, and
what is after creation?

28. Human beings are limited
 Human beings are limited to what they can
perceive with their senses, so it is
impossible to perceive the Essence of the
Creator
 Essence
 How is the Creator? Why did he Create?
What does he want from me? How does he
exist?

29. Necessitates External Revelation
 It is like the “Knock on the Door”
 We know someone is there, but we do not
know who, until we open the Door
 Thus to know “Who” is the Creator, it
would require him to send external
revelation those seeking answers

30. PROOF OF QUR’AN

31. The Eternal Challenge
 Qur’an Chapter 2 Verse 23
“And if you are in doubt concerning that
which We have sent down to our servant
(Muhammed pbuh) then bring a chapter of
the like thereof and call your witnesses
(supporters and helpers) besides Allah if
you are truthful”

32. So who created the Qur’an?
 Rational deduction
 Is it from
an Arab
Non-Arab
the Prophet (SAW)
the Creator

33. Historical Fact
 Historical fact that the Arabs at the time of revelation were
masters in the use of Arabic
 They were articulate users of the language but also held
those skilled in the arts of linguistic composition in high
esteem.
“It should be known that Arabs thought highly of poetry as
a form of speech. Therefore, they made it the archives of
their history, the evidence for what they considered right
and wrong, and the principal basis of reference for most of
their sciences and wisdom.”
Ibn Khaldun

34. A Failure
“The elephant. What is the elephant? And who shall tell you
what is the elephant? He has a ropy tail and a long trunk.
this is a [mere] trifle of our Lord's creations.” Musaylamah
 Concerning the style of his speech; he followed the kahin
style of rhymed prose, and of the pronouncing of oaths.
 If the Arabs at that time failed, who is the author? Using
Rational Deduction, it can not be a Arab, a non-Arab or
even the Prophet Muhammed.

35. They All Failed
 If the people best placed to challenge the Qur’an failed,
then who can do it?
 Some of the challengers:
 Musaylamah
 The Quraish
 Ibn Al-Mukaffa‘
 Abu'l-'Ala Al-Marri
 Yahya b. Al-Hakam al-Ghazal
 Sayyid 'Ali Muhammad
 Ibn al-Rawandi
 Bassar bin Burd
 Sahib Ibn 'Abbad

36. Calling God ‘God’:
 Qur’an Chapter 2 Verse 23
“And if you are in doubt concerning that
which We have sent down to our servant
(Muhammad pbuh) then bring a chapter of
the like thereof and call your witnesses
(supporters and helpers) besides Allah if
you are truthful”

37. Conclusion
 Islam provides a distinct viewpoint of life,
unlike any other religion, thought, system
or way of life
 The Islamic Creed in based on rational
and intellectual proofs, where every
aspect relies upon decisive proof,
understanding, and the opposite on
imitation

the difference of night and day, and the ships which run
upon the sea with that which is of use to men, and the
water which Allah sends down from the sky, thereby
reviving the earth after its death, and dispersing all kinds
of beasts therein, and in the ordinance of the winds, and
the clouds obedient between heaven and earth are signs
(of Allah's sovereignty) for people who have sense.quot; [TMQ
Al-Baqarah: 164]
