3- The Ash-Shar’ah28 Evidence For The Existence of Allaah:<o:p></o:p>

The Ash-Shar’ah is evidence for the existence of Allaah because all of the revealed Scriptures states so. The laws that address the welfare of creation and which are provided by these scriptures, constitute an evidence that they came from an All-Wise Rabb who knows about the welfare and interests of His creation. The information about the universe brought forth by the scriptures and whose manifestation testifies for their truthfulness, is a proof that came from the (one) Raab Who is able to bring into being whatever He already informed about.

4- The “Physical” Evidence For The Existence of Allaah Comprises Two Aspects:-<o:p></o:p>

One of them is that we hear and witness (Allah's) response to all those who supplicate and those who are distressed and grieved. This constitutes an unequivocal evidence for the existence of Allahhتعالى. He تعالى says:

( و نوحا إذ نادى From Before فاستجبنا له ) ( الأنبياء ، 76)

عن أنس بن مالك رضى الله عنه – قال : أصابت الناس سنة على عهد النبى صلى الله عليه و سلم فبينما النى صلى الله عليه وسلم يخطب بالناس فى يوم الجمعة ، قام إعرابى فقال : يا رسول الله ، هلك المال و جاع العيال فادع الله لنا ، فرفع يديه ، و ما نرى فى السماء قزعة ، فو الذى نفسى بيده ، ما وضعها حتى ثار السحاب أمثال الجبال ، ثم لم ينزل From Fromبره حتى رأيت المطر يتنازل على لحيته صلى الله عليه و سلم فمطرنا يوFromا ذلك ، وFrom الغد و بعد الغد ، و الذى يليه ، حتى الجمعة الأخرى. و قام ذلك اإعرابى أو قال غيره فقال : " يا رسول الله ، تهدم البناء ، و غرق المال ، فادع لنا الله ، فرفع فرفع يديه فقال " اللهم حوالينا وNot علينا ، فما يشير بيده غلى ناحية From السحاب و إNot إنفرجت"<o:p></o:p>

“Once in the lifetime of the prophet Mohammed the people were affected with drought. While the prophet was delivering the Khutba (religious talk) on a Friday, a

Our possessions are being destroyed and the children are hungry; please invoke Allaah (for rain). So the prophet raised his hands (invoked Allaah for rain). At that time there was not a trace of cloud in the sky. By Him, in Whose Hands my soul is, clouds gathered like mountains, and before he got down from the pulpit, I saw the rain falling on his (prophet) beard. It rained that day, the next day, the third day, the fourth day till the next day. The Bedouin or another man stood up and said “O Allaah‘s Messenger! The houses have collapsed, our possessions and livestock have been drowned; please invoke Allaah for us (to stop the rain). “So the prophet raised his both his hands and said “O Allaah! Round about us and not on us, so in whatever direction he pointed with his hands, the clouds disappeared and cleared away…29 <o:p></o:p>

Responding to the invocations of the supplicant who sincerely resort to Allaah
(alone) and fulfil the required condition for Ijaabah30 is a matter that is still being witnessed nowadays <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"><meta name="ProgId" content="Word.Document"><meta name="Generator" content="Microsoft Word 11"><meta name="Originator" content="Microsoft Word 11"><link rel="File-List" href="file:///C:%5CDOCUME%7E1%5CUser%5CLOCALS%7E1%5CTemp%5Cmsoht ml1%5C01%5Cclip_filelist.xml"><style>  </style>

The second aspect is that the signs of the prophets which is called Mu’jizaaat (Miracles) and which people see or hear about, constitute and irrevocable evidence for the existence of the One who dispatched them: that’s Allah تعالى. Certainly these matters (Mu’jizzat) are beyond the capability of mankind and that Allaah manifests them to help and support His Messengers. For example, the Sign given to Musa when Allaah commanded him to strike the sea with stick. He strokes it and the sea parted into twelve dry roads separated by water, which become like a huge mountain. Allaahتعالى says

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"><meta name="ProgId" content="Word.Document"><meta name="Generator" content="Microsoft Word 11"><meta name="Originator" content="Microsoft Word 11"><link rel="File-List" href="file:///C:%5CDOCUME%7E1%5CUser%5CLOCALS%7E1%5CTemp%5Cmsoht ml1%5C01%5Cclip_filelist.xml"><style>  </style>

( فأوحينا To موسى أن أضرب بعصاك البحر فأنفلق فكان كل فرق كالطود العظيم ) ( الشعراء ، 63)

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"><meta name="ProgId" content="Word.Document"><meta name="Generator" content="Microsoft Word 11"><meta name="Originator" content="Microsoft Word 11"><link rel="File-List" href="file:///C:%5CDOCUME%7E1%5CUser%5CLOCALS%7E1%5CTemp%5Cmsoht ml1%5C01%5Cclip_filelist.xml"><style>  </style> Then We inspired Musa (saying): “Strike the sea with your stick.” And it parted, and each separate part (of that sea water) become like a huge, firm mass of a mountain. (Qura’aan 26:63

Allaah spoke about him saying:

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"><meta name="ProgId" content="Word.Document"><meta name="Generator" content="Microsoft Word 11"><meta name="Originator" content="Microsoft Word 11"><link rel="File-List" href="file:///C:%5CDOCUME%7E1%5CUser%5CLOCALS%7E1%5CTemp%5Cmsoht ml1%5C01%5Cclip_filelist.xml"><style>  </style> ( و أوحى الموتى بإذن الله ) ( آل عمران ،49)

(Quraa’an 5:110)
A third example is that Prophet Mohammed when the tribe of Qureish asked him to show them a sign (a miracle as a proof of his prophet hood)31 He (the prophet)<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"><meta name="ProgId" content="Word.Document"><meta name="Generator" content="Microsoft Word 11"><meta name="Originator" content="Microsoft Word 11"><link rel="File-List" href="file:///C:%5CDOCUME%7E1%5CUser%5CLOCALS%7E1%5CTemp%5Cmsoht ml1%5C01%5Cclip_filelist.xml"><style>  </style> pointed to the moon and (behold!) it split asunder and the people saw it. Regarding the (sign) Allaahتعالى said

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"><meta name="ProgId" content="Word.Document"><meta name="Generator" content="Microsoft Word 11"><meta name="Originator" content="Microsoft Word 11"><link rel="File-List" href="file:///C:%5CDOCUME%7E1%5CUser%5CLOCALS%7E1%5CTemp%5Cmsoht ml1%5C01%5Cclip_filelist.xml"><style>  </style> ( إقتربت at و إنشق القمر و إن يروا آية يShowingوا و يقولوا سحر مسDoneر) ( القمر ، 1-2)
