The question of God's existence has preoccupied man's mind for many centuries.
.
As we look around in our environments, one often wonders at the beauties of
nature with its scenic charm and marvels; the almost endless horizons in the sky and their far-reaching expansions; the ceaseless succession of day and night in the most orderly manner; the course of the sun, the moon, and the great stars; the world of animate and inanimate objects, the continuous process and evolution of man, generation after generation.

Can we find an explanation of the great universe? Is there any convincing interpretation of the secret of existence? The universe exists and functions in the most orderly manner, and that it has survived for hundreds of thousands of years.
.
We realise that no family can function properly without a responsible head, that no city can prosperously exist without sound administration, and that no state can survive without a chief of some kind. We also realise that nothing comes into being on its own.
.
Can we, then, say that all this is accidental and haphazard? Or can we attribute the existence of man and the whole world to mere chance?
.
If man were to come into being by accident or by sheer chance, his entire life would be based on chance, and his whole existence would be meaningless, and no rational being would leave his existence at the mercy of fluctuating chance.
.
Every reasonable human being tries to make his life as meaningful as possible and set for himself a model of conduct according to some design. Individuals, groups and nations do plan their course of action. And every careful plan produces some desired effects. The fact of the matter is that man does engage in planning of one sort or another, and can appreciate the merits of good planning.
.
Yet man represents only a very small portion of the great universe. And if he can make plans and appreciate the merits of planning, then his own existence and the survival of the universe must also be based on a planned policy.
.
This means that there is a Designing Will behind our material existence, and that there is a Unique Mind in the world to bring things into being and keep them moving in order. The marvellous wonders of our world and the secrets of life are too great to be the product of random accident or mere chance. In the world, then there must be a Great Force in action to keep everything in order.
.
In the beautiful nature there must be a Great Artist who creates the most charming pieces of art and produces everything for a special purpose in life. This Force is the strongest of all forces, and this Artist is the greatest of all artists.

.
The true believers and deeply enlightened people recognise this Artist and call Him GOD.
.
He is not a man because no man can create or make another man.
.
He is not an animal, nor is He a plant. He is neither an idol nor is He a statue of any kind because none of these things can make itself or create anything else.
.
He is neither the sun nor is He the moon or any other star, because these things are controlled by a great system, and are themselves made by someone else.
.
He is different from all these things, because He is the Maker and Keeper of them all. The maker of anything must be different from and greater than the thing which he makes.
.This is the secret of all secrets and the Most Supreme of all beings. The Holy Qu'ran, the True Book of God (His True and Real Name - Allah) say's:
.
Belief in God. He is one, has no partner or son, and neither gives birth, nor is He born. His great power alone can provide mankind with the best Possible explanation of many mysterious things in life.
.
This is the safest way to true knowledge and spiritual insight, the right path to good behaviour and sound morals, the surest guide to happiness and prosperity.
