Page 2 - The Signs Leading to Faith
P. 2

he Qur’an refers to the phenomena and entities that are
                 certain proofs of God’s existence, oneness, and names as
          T “signs.” Just as these are written in the Qur’an, they also exist in
          the world and in a person’s soul, for: “There are certainly Signs in Earth for
          people with certainty, and in yourselves as well. Do you not then see?”
          (Qur’an, 51:20-21)
               Those who use their conscience encounter countless proofs of God’s
          existence, such as brightly colored, sweet-smelling flowers; delicious fruits and
          vegetables that spring from muddy soil; the sense organs, which enable us to
          enjoy each created item’s unique properties (e.g., smell and taste); the human
          body with its many complex systems, all of which work in harmony; the Sun,
          which illuminates and warms, and its ideal size and distance from our Earth; the
          rain, which brings bone-dry soil to life; and countless other proofs.
               Each of these is a “sign leading to faith.” In other words, they are miracles
          of creation and truths that guide people to faith and then increase that faith.
          Every person who thinks deeply about these proofs will come to faith by clearly
          seeing these reflections of God’s existence and greatness. Thanks to these signs,
          believers will come to know God better and increase their love for, and fear [and
          awareness] of Him.
               This book seeks to lift the curtain of indifference by dealing with the
          importance of these signs leading to faith. At the same time, it contains the
          views of several Islamic scholars of these signs and gives examples of them.
          Moreover, it also considers how these signs are the most effective way of
          disproving the superstitious teachings of the theory of evolution, the greatest
          deception of our time, and one that continues to lead people to atheism in the
          End Times.

                                            ABOUT THE AUTHOR

                          The author, who writes under the pen-name Harun Yahya, was born
                          in Ankara in 1956. He studied arts at Istanbul's Mimar Sinan
                          University, and philosophy at Istanbul University. Since the 1980s,
                          the author has published many books on political, faith-related and
                          scientific issues. His main focus has been the refutation of
                          Darwinism and materialism, two modern myths presented under a
                          scientific guise. Harun Yahya's books appeal to all kinds of readers,
          Muslims and non-Muslims alike, regardless of their age, race, or nationality, for they
          focus on one objective: to broaden the readers’ perspective by encouraging them to
          think about a number of critical issues, such as the existence of God and His unity,
          and to display the decrepit foundations and perverted works of godless systems.
