TRANSCRIPT
We can find the most correct information about names and attributions of Allah in Quran.
The most satisfactory answers to the conflicts about the existence of Allah can be learned
only from Islam. There is a thought, mentioned by unbelievers everywhere for years. They
say: ‘We don’t believe, in what we don’t see’. There is no relation between this statement
and scientific facts. Human, as a limited creature couldn’t know everything, too. We can
only see 5 out one million things. Rest of them, we couldn’t recognize even. There are
thousand of stars, we don’t know their location, we couldn’t see them by telescopes.
Compared to the universe our planet is small like a ball. Let our planets, we can see only
5 out 1 million things on earth. Therefore if someone says I couldn’t see Allah this is the
greatest ignorance. Another important point is this: To be visible, something should have
the opposite.
If there wouldn’t be the darkness we couldn’t see the light. But there is nothing similar or
opposite to Allah. It is impossible to see him. Furthermore, artist is not to be searched in
art. If you seek the painter in the picture or the architect in the building or the author in
the book, certainly you couldn’t find. But the greatest evidence to the existence of the
author is the book itself.
Couldn’t see the author or not to be acquainted with him, does not require to deny him.
Suchlike we couldn’t see Allah, but everything he created shows him. Because nobody
can do, what Allah does? Creating is special to Allah.
Everything in this universe proves Allah, so there is no need to see him. Moreover to see
Allah is not matching with his testing us. This earth is the place of Allah’s examination.
Allah tests everybody to see they believe in him or not. Before he end of the test,
answers would not be explained. If hints are given, the difference between the hard
studying and lazy could not be distinguished. In the same way, if we have seen Allah,
non-believers must have believed Allah too. So there will be no difference between
believers and non-believers. This is contrary to the justice and the test of Allah. On this
issue there is a beautiful saying of fourth khalif Ali (ra).: ‘ Even the curtain in front of the
future and its bringing would be opened, my faith would not increase. ‘ Yes, there are
truths as Muslims, we believe although we don’t see. Such as hereafter, heaven, hell,
angels, and Allah as well. Ali (ra) says: ‘ My belief would not increased if I saw the
invisible truth, which is alemul gayb. Yes, he was believing Allah as if he see Allah. It
means there couldn’t be any doubt them.
Actually there are many things in what we believe, though we don’t see them. For
instance, x-rays and ultraviolet waves. Essentially world of existence is not totally
composed of visible things. Moral world is not visible but sensible. The feelings like
friendship, love and brotherhood visible and touchable. Is it possible to deny spirit,
intelligence, science and ethics? We have a simple question to those, who say I don’t
believe in what I don’t see. Do you have intelligence? If yes, show it so everybody
believes.
Being not to be able to show it you should accept, he hasn’t got it in fact. So disbelief
drives, people in such foolish cases.
There is an event mentioned in Quran related to this issue. Moses (AS) fasting for 40 days
received a good news from Allah. Allah offered him to listen. His words directly from him
not by angels. Considering this as a big opportunity this great prophet forgot that he is
still on earth and asked Allah for a great wish.
Let’s listen is from Quran:
‘ At the time fixed by us Moses came and his Rabb talked to him. Then Moses said: Oh my
Rabb, show me yourself, so I see you. Allah told him: You never ca see me. But look at
that mountain over there, if the mountain can stand, you will see me as well. The
appearance of Allah collapsed the mountain into dust, and Moses fell unconscious. After
recovering he said: I fear of calling you with imperfect attributions. Accept my
repentance. I am the first of the believers.’(Al-Araf 143)
Moses wished to see Allah, because of his great love to him. Allah said: ‘It is impossible’.
To convince him Allah put the condition, if the mountain stands, he would see him. Even
the mountain couldn’t stand it so everything become clear. Thus, it is impossible to see
Allah on this earth. According to Islam scholars only Muslims will see Allah in heaven as a
gift. So those who want to see him really, have to get ready for heaven. Taking the
passport, we should get the visa beforehand. The passport for Heaven is faith. Without
Faith there is no entering to heaven. Visa for heaven is the prayer, worship, foremost
salah. Without getting tired for months you could not get an American visa. To stay in
heaven forever, this preparation is not much.

Summarizing, human couldn’t see everything. Moral things can be seen only with the eye
of heart. Allah couldn’t be seen on this earth, but everything shows Allah.
