> He KNOWS that we can believe in Him without seeing Him

[Qatada]

We don't need to see God to believe in Him, and that's why the majority of mankind believes in Him. So if someone was to question why we can't see Him, then we say that we are ABLE to believe in Him without seeing Him, and the majority of mankind believe in Him. We believe this is because He created mankind this way, upon a fitrah [natural disposition] in which we know that a Higher Power exists and controls.



So if this majority are able to, then similarly - you are able to aswell. So if someone questions why Allah doesn't show Himself if He wants us to believe in Him, we say that He KNOWS that we can believe in Him without seeing Him, and that's why He doesn't have to show Himself to us in this life.


He sends Messengers' with undeniable signs to show us that they are truly sent from God, informing us of the clear message.

Then He will reward the believers and good doers by letting them see His Majesty on the Day of Judgement, and He will punish those who rejected Him, by never letting them see Him, because they rejected His Promise in this life.



Now there would be 2 reasons why someone denies the Lord of the Worlds, it's either because he is closed minded, or he has not reflected upon the signs of Allah. For the former, there is nothing we can do to convince them, for the latter - Allah informs us;

We will show them Our Signs on the horizon and within themselves until it is clear to them that it is the truth" (Quran 41:53)

asalam alaikum


its just basically pointing out that we don't have to see Allah to believe in Him, and that if the majority of mankind can do it - then why can't atheists also accept that?


we know their responses, but its kind of like a rhetorical which believers can use in debates insha Allah to get the argument on their side slightly. :)
