How to convince an atheist
Dear Sheikh, as Muslims, we believe in the existence of the Day of Resurrection and that it is the day of reckoning and the day of absolute Justice
Those who don’t believe in the existence of God, the atheists, don’t even believe that there’s a creator or there’re religions at all
Our Sheikh, how to convince them that there’s a day of resurrection?
We can do this in a very smart way…
Since the perfection of creation is an indication of perfection of the Creator
Can you believe that that a human retina, which is 1.1/4 square mm, contains about 3 million and 300,000 cones?
Did it become so by itself? And why there’re two eyes in the first place? For the third dimension
With one eye you could not thread a needle
You will put the thread 3 cm behind the needle
With the two eyes there’s a third dimension
It may take years to explain the eye, only the eye
Not to mention the ears, the nose, the tongue and the heart
A pump that works over some 84 years without ever getting tired or bored
Hair does not contain nerve endings; if it had nerve endings, we would have an operation to shave
under general anesthesia. There’re a billion miracles in our body only
Not to mention our food, the water we drink, our marital life, and our children
A drop of water; a sperm not visible to the naked eye, only on the microscope, and an egg
The egg is visible to the naked eye. The sperm fertilizes the egg growing into an embryo
In its brain, there’re 400,000 glial nerve cells (neuroglia)
In eyes, nose, teeth and in bones
Bone tissue, skin tissue, soft tissue
There’re characteristics to the heart. Blood circulates through the kidneys for about 100 kilometers long in the single day
By Allah, it may take man years to ponder the signs of Allah in his body
Realizing the greatness of Allah (Exalted be He)
That’s why I say that there an act of worship which is the greatest one at all.
It is the worship of contemplation, starting from the Qur’an: “Indeed, in the creation of the heavens and the earth and the alternation of the night and the day are signs for those of understanding.” (Aal `Imran 3:190)
“Who remember Allah while standing or sitting or lying on their sides and give thought to the creation of the heavens and the earth, saying, “Our Lord, You did not create this aimlessly; exalted are You [above such a thing]; then protect us from the punishment of the Fire.” (Aal `Imran 3:191)
“Our Lord, indeed whoever You admit to the Fire – You have disgraced him, and for the wrongdoers there are no helpers.” (Aal `Imran 3:192)
While I was riding, a car behind me honked on the horn. As I was taking the center of the road,
I turned into the left lane. Why to the left? Because the sound reached my right ear before it reached the left one
The sound reached the right ear before it reached the left ear taking 1/1000 and 620 of a second
As a result, I knew the sound came from somewhere near
My brother, by Allah, in the human body there is one of the most perfect signs of the greatness of Allah
“We have certainly created man in the best of stature” (At-Tin 95:4)
By Allah, it’s unbelievable!
White blood cells in the body are like an army. This army
These white blood cells reside for two years in the thymus, a gland close to the heart, to mature learning to differentiate between friends and enemies
And they pass a test to graduate; if they attack a target good cell they fail and therefore killed
If they didn’t attack a target bad cell they fail and therefore killed
Thus, all those who fail are wiped out, and those who graduate become the instructors of the succeeding generations of white cells till the end of life
Ah, miraculous!
