    I believe in God because HE proved Himself to me, when I went on my Quest to find Him...

    There is a sura that declares that if you want God to prove Himself to you, cut all your support and ties to everything
    and depend on Him Alone and then He will turn and prove Himself to you...

    This works, I am a witness, cause I did this...

        I can't help it. I have changed religion, but I always have believed in God. I cannot not believe even if I wanted to, which I don't.

          i feel similarly. "God is most great- surely our hearts' longing for Him is a clear sign of His existence".

            I refuse to believe that all living things in this world just happened, came into being, or evolved. For every creature there is a counterpart. Every creature has been perfectly designed to survive in this world. For me there is no way this could have just happened by itself.

                Peace all,

                Man has an innate nature to seek for his Creator. While seeking for his Creator, anything that was very powerful, enormous, or unusual, drew his attention and he worshipped them. He even worshipped fellow human beings who were gifted with special abilities by God.

                Everything we see around us has been created by someone. The houses, cars, TV, radios etc. did not come into existence by themselves. Although we do not know the individuals who assembled them, we know for sure that human hands are behind their creation.

                Each human cell performs hundreds of thousands of complex chemical reactions every day for its proper function and exact reproduction. All tissues and organs in the body are regulated by biological laws set forth for them. The brain does not perform the function of heart and the heart does not perform the function of kidney. The complex and intimate relationships between the organs are precise and governed by fundamental laws. We may utilize these laws, already set forth for them, to our advantage, but in no way can we alter these fundamental laws.

                We see the apparent lifeless seeds grow into plants with life. Again we see plants and animals, full with life, made into lifeless materials. We also observe the vast universe, its grand design, the superb organization, and its precise and flawless functions. Did all these come into existence and continue to exist by themselves? Basic human intelligence will tell us that there is a Creator who brought into existence each and everything around us and beyond.

                peace

                  Peace,

                  If there were no God then human suffering, sacrifices and morality would become pointless. The feeling of injustice would be so dominant among the poor, victims of crimes and diseased people that they would completely feel hopeless only because they were simply unlucky and would never get any compensation for their suffering. It would force such people to make suicide that only the healthy, rich and powerful have the right to pleasure and joy. Belief in God gives hope to those who have suffered and sacrificed all their life that their work would not go in vain. This makes my faith in God strong that ultimately all people that suuffered for no crime would be compensated by a Just God after death. Even if a person has lived a very successful life and knows in a few days he is going to die then he feels hopeless that he is leaving behind all joys of life forever and would never get compensated for the good work that he strived so hard all his life if he does not believe in God.
                  Believing In God makes the purpose of my life meaningful and satisfying. It gives me hope, courage, happiness and tranquility and makes me not regret about anything that is not my fault.

                      Look at the heaven above .. look at the sun and the moon ... we delude ourselves with the "things" we create ..... who created the heaven above us?? who created the sun and the stars .. the earth?? are you blind and the only answer that comes from your mouth is ... "it just came out of chaos" .... keep dreaming ... as I dream of seeing the Creator ......

                      to believe is to accept the unseen FORCE .. and to accept that .. you have to use more than your eyes, ears, mouth, skin, hearing ... you have to use your HEART!!!!

                        Peace be upon the reader,
                        Please exclude things like quran, bible, hadeeth etc...
                        If you don't believe in God, ignore the question
                        Please also try to elaborate your reasoning.
                        For example
                        if you mention some scientific reason(s), expand on WHAT scientific reason(s).
                        Thank you,
                        God bless

                        Peace,
                        Respectfully.

                        I saw this thing on youtube but i forgot the link so forgive me.
                        I saw this child tlaking about the existance of The Exalted God AllMighty.
                        The child said, if yous aw a ship coming toward the dock and the ship was completely empty and it stops, turns on the engines and all the cargo floaat all by itself towards the containers without any human help.

                        What would you think?

                        What kind of POWER, what kidn of MIGHT is so Strong and Powerful to do that?
                        If ther eis such a Power that can move objects like Jupiter (orbit), houses (tornado), river (being liquid) and if this Power can make sure that all these things move Simultaneously and without bumping into each other, forgetting or escaping or hiding ..... then i believe that there is only One God, The Exalted God, The MOST Powerful, The AllMighty, Truly, The One Who Is So Merciful that He can do whatever He wants. He can choose to erase all human race and say Eart, be gone and the planet will seize to exist but he chooses not to He controls Everything and Anything.

                        The Exalted God is Truly The Most Merciful.
                        Glory be to our God, Who has blessed us with countless gifts and blessings.
                        Glory be to our God, Who forgives more and more.

                        Peace.

                          God exists because you can feel it. Even an athiest knows it but just wants to believe in science. Put is this way-

                          creation of ....life>>earth (and everything in it)>>solar system>> the universe and life in it (including everything else in it)>>the big bang>> ?????? >>>can only be God O0
