ARGUMENTATION OF THE EXISTENCE OF GOD ACCORDING TO YUSUF AL-QARADHAWI

Abstract

It is clearly recorded in the pages of history that the concept of divinity is something whose existence cannot be denied, even very real, more real than the real world. For Yusuf al-Qaradhawi, the existence of Allah is the first, greatest, and most prominent essence and truth. Awareness of the existence of Allah is shown by human nature and logically healthy reason. And awareness of the existence of Allah is guided by science, revelation, and history. Al-Qaradhawi further explained that even if there are people who proclaim atheism, it is only a small group. This group is a group that has fallen into the valley of lust and is controlled by low nature, meaning that people who reject the existence of the Creator of the universe and all its contents (atheists) are people who do not use reason at all as a means to achieve and feel the existence of God. When discussing the arguments for the existence of God, Al-Qaradhawi, as a thinker and expert on the Qur'an, based much of his thinking on the texts of the Qur'an as the main source. But he also put forward many things such as scientific facts, history, and even philosophy.
