Well atheist claim was that your belief is based on faith, and you say exactly the same thing.
Yeah faith and common sense.we don't trust the theory of everything coincidence.billions of details making life possible on earth In brief, man lives on a planet perfectly designed for his survival. This is certainly a planet "created for human beings". if you in fact start questioning your self you will realize. such as,
How does the atmosphere serve as a protective ceiling for the earth?
How does each one of the billions of cells in the human body know and perform its individual tasks?
How does this extraordinary ecological balance exist on earth?
A person seeking answers to these questions surely proceeds on the right path. He does not remain insensitive to things happening around him, and doesn't plead ignorance about the extraordinary nature of the world. A person who asks questions, who reflects on and gives answers to these questions will realize that on every inch of the planet, a plan and an order reigns:
How did the flawless order in the whole universe come into being?
Who provided the delicate balances in the world?
How did living beings, incredibly diversified in nature, emerge?
Keeping oneself occupied with relentless research to answer these questions results in a clear awareness that everything in the universe, its
order, each living being and structure is a component of a plan, a product of design. Every detail, the excellent structure of an insect's wing, the system enabling a tree to carry tons of water to its topmost branches, the order of planets, and the ratio of gases in the atmosphere, are all unique examples of perfection.
again this is up to an individual, some will understand, some will not. so i don't argue often with some one regarding this as this is clearly up to a person's way of thinking.
One can never say that GOD does not exist, but based on evidence that contradicts the GOD definition one can say its highly unlikely that GOD exists. I say that even though I've never been to Moscow, I do have personal knowledge of Moscow. I've seen it on TV, If you go to the internet you can find out about it, I've met people who have been there, so there is plenty of evidence. But I've never seen a single evidence of GODs existence.
ridiculous..so u mean you have to have personal knowledge of God, you have to see on TV, you have to see on the internet and you want to meet the people who were with God..to understand the God. don't you feel your reply sounds like silly.don't expect such a mightiest God will be easily accessible to you in the above said means.
Allah cannot be limited to sight and is therefore unseen and He cannot be sensed physically at all. Moreover, on the impermissibility of seeing the Essence of Allah, Quran states:
[6:103] Visions can not reach Him while He reaches to all visions; and He is the Knower of subtleties, the Aware.
And also when the bani Israeel (The Children (descendants) of Prophet Israeel (Jacob)) asked Moses to show them their Lord they were given a negative reply:
[7.143] And when Musa came at Our appointed time and his Lord spoke to him, he said: My Lord! show me (Thyself), so that I may look upon Thee. He said: You cannot see Me but look at the mountain, if it remains firm in its place, then will you see Me; but when his Lord manifested His glory to the mountain He made it crumble and Musa fell down in a swoon; then when he recovered, he said: Glory be to Thee, I turn to Thee, and I am the first of the believers.
still majority of Muslims believe that we will 'see' Allah on Judgment Day They use Quranic verses like below to argue their case.
[75.22] (Some) faces on that day shall be bright,
[75.23] Looking to their Lord.
[75.24] And (other) faces on that day shall be gloomy
[75.25] Knowing that there will be made to befall them some great calamity.
Adding to the strength of the interpretation of these verses are Hadiths like this:
Narrated Abu Huraira: The people said, "O Allah's Apostle! Shall we see our Lord on the Day of Resurrection?" He replied, "Do you have any doubt in seeing the full moon on a clear (not cloudy) night?" They replied, "No, O Allah's Apostle!" He said, "Do you have any doubt in seeing the sun when there are no clouds?" They replied in the negative. He said, "You will see Allah (your Lord) in the same way. On the Day of Resurrection, people will be gathered and He will order the people to follow what they used to worship. So some of them will follow the sun, some will follow the moon, and some will follow other deities; and only this nation (Muslims) will be left with its hypocrites. Allah will come to them and say, 'I am Your Lord.' They will say, 'We shall stay in this place till our Lord comes to us and when our Lord will come, we will recognize Him. Then Allah will come to them again and say, 'I am your Lord.' They will say, 'You are our Lord.' Allah will call them, and As-Sirat (a bridge) will be laid across Hell and I (Muhammad) shall be the first amongst the Apostles to cross it with my followers. Nobody except the Apostles will then be able to speak and they will be saying then, 'O Allah! Save us. O Allah Save us.' ... [A trimmed version of Hadith 1.770 from Sahih Bukhari]
and another hadith is:
Narrated 'Adi bin Hatim: Allah's Apostle said, "There will be none among you but his Lord will speak to him, and there will be no interpreter between them nor a screen to screen Him." [Sahih Bukhari Vol9, Book 93, No.535]
