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!
