Mental Evidence for the Existence of God

Say, “All praise is for Allah, and peace be upon His slaves whom He has chosen. Is Allah better, or those partners whom they associate with Him?”

Is He [not better] Who created the heavens and earth, and sent down for you rain from the sky, by which We caused to grow gardens of cheerful beauty? You could never cause their trees to grow. Is there any god besides Allah? No, but they are people who ascribe equals [to Allah].

Is He [not better] Who made the earth a stable place to live, and caused rivers to flow through it, and placed therein firm mountains, and made a barrier between two flowing bodies of water? Is there any god besides Allah? No, but most of them do not know.

Is He [not better] Who responds to the distressed when he calls out to Him, and Who relieves suffering, and Who makes you successors on earth? Is there any god besides Allah? Little is it that you take heed!

Is He [not better] Who guides you in the depths of darkness of the land and sea, and Who sends the winds as harbingers ahead of His mercy? Is there any god besides Allah? Exalted is Allah far above the partners they associate with Him!

Is He [not better] Who originates creation then repeats it, and Who gives you provision from the heaven and earth? Is there any god besides Allah? Say, “Produce your evidence if you are truthful.”

Say, “No one in the heavens and earth has knowledge of the unseen except Allah.” Nor do they know when they will be resurrected.

In fact, their knowledge cannot comprehend the Hereafter; rather, they are in doubt about it; rather, they are blind to it.

Those who disbelieve say, “What! Is it that when we and our forefathers become dust, will we really be brought forth [alive]?

We and our forefathers have been promised this before; this is nothing but ancient fables!”

Say, “Travel in the land and see how was the end of the wicked.”

Do not grieve over them, nor be distressed by their plots.

They say, “When will this warning come to pass, if you are truthful?”

Say, “Perhaps some of what you seek to hasten is quite near to you.”

Indeed, your Lord is graceful to mankind, but most of them are ungrateful.

Your Lord surely knows all that their hearts conceal and all that they reveal.

For there is nothing hidden in the heavens and earth except that it is [written] in a clear Record.

Indeed, this Qur’an explains to the Children of Israel most of that over which they differ.

And it is certainly a guidance and mercy for the believers.

Indeed, your Lord will judge between them by His justice, for He is the All-Mighty, the All-Knowing.

So put your trust in Allah, for you are upon the clear truth.

You cannot make the dead hear, nor can you make the deaf hear the call when they turn their backs retreating.

Nor can you guide the blind out of their error, nor can you make anyone hear except those who believe in Our verses, for they are ready to submit to Allah.
