Knowledge of God’s existence is often taken for granted by believers. The authentic religious experience—affirmed again and again in a Muslim’s daily life—makes faith in God feel so natural as to be assumed. But belief in God and the quest for existential truth is not an easy prospect for many people, especially in a social environment in which faith is derided as superstition, wishful thinking, or even as a dangerous fantasy.
In the Islamic tradition, the case for God’s existence is solid in terms of its rational foundations as well as the purpose, meaning, comfort, and guidance that it gives to our lives. The Quran inspires conviction by appealing to the aspects of the inner life of human beings, namely, to the heart and the mind. Intuition and experience work in tandem with logic and reason to arrive at a state of certainty in faith.
We have the tendency to believe in God and your feelings attest to this fact. Human beings sense the existence of God—or what they perceive as a higher power—by pure instinct, with or without a prophetic revelation to guide them. Expressions of this sensus divinitatis have appeared in cultures and religions all over the world, despite them being widely separated by time, geography, and language. In Islamic spiritual terms, this is because God took a primordial covenant with every person before the world was created that they would recognize their Creator.
It seems that you recognise the existence of the creator but your only struggle is the credibility of Islam. Therefore i assure you that if such entity exists then Islam is undoubtedly the religion which he prescribed to humankind.
And due to various reasons one of which is Islam is the most logical religion for several reasons. One of the biggest reasons is that all the philosophical and logical deductive arguments for God such as the cosmological argument or the ontological arguments that many theists use to prove God, can only prove the monotheistic God that is preached by Islam. These arguments are more inline with the Islamic definition of God than any other definition.

Israel uses sophisticated attack jets and naval vessels to bomb densely-crowded refugee camps, schools, apartment blocks, mosques, and slums to attack a [Palestinian] population that has no air force, no air defense, no navy, no heavy weapons, no artillery units, no mechanized armor, no command in control, no army… and calls it a war. It is not a war, it is murder.

Indeed it is Islam. The Arabic word ‘Islam’ means ‘submission’, and is derived from a word meaning ‘peace’. As such, the religion of Islam teaches that in order to achieve true peace of mind and surety of heart, one must submit to God and live according to His Divinely revealed Law.
‘submission to the will of God’, i.e. Islam, has always been the only acceptable religion in the sight of God. For this reason, Islam is the true religion’, and it is the same eternal message revealed through the ages to all of God’s prophets and messengers. The main message of all the prophets has always been that there is only One True God and He alone is to be worshipped. These prophets start with Adam and include Noah, Abraham, Moses, David, Solomon, John the Baptist, and Jesus, Muhammad peace be upon them all.
God says in the Holy Quran:
"True Religion, in God’s eyes, is islam: [devotion to Him alone]. (Quran 3:19)
And:
“We did not send before you (O Muhammad) any messenger but We revealed to him: ‘none has the right to be worshipped except I, therefore worship Me.’” (Quran 21:25)

The statement of Allaah in the Quran:
If anyone desires a religion other than Islam (submission to Allah), never will it be accepted of him; and in the Hereafter He will be in the ranks of those who have lost (All spiritual good). Surah Ali 'Imran [3:85]
Many people claim there religion is true but Islamic scriptures is the only book which says it is the true religion of God when people do proper research on any religion, nothing comes more naturally acceptable to their minds than Islam.
Even today it is only the religion of Islam, where its followers have so much knowledge and dedication and so many worshiping places all around the world.
Plus the concepts of worship in those religions are vague:
Worshiping a tree? Does it make any sense?
Worshiping a Man? Does it make any sense?
Worshiping fire? Does it make any sense?
Worshiping your own hand made idol? Does it make any sense?
Not worshiping or accepting the GOD also does not make sense, because you are not by yourself nor this whole amazing universe.
Worshiping the unseen, who must be unimaginably huge and infinitely powerful than the whole visible universe DOES MAKE SENSE. The one who created this whole amazing universe, which we cannot even comprehend with Stars billions of times larger than our sun (itself 1.3 million times larger than earth) and than the zillions of zillions of zillions of galaxies which also just happen to be under the 1st of the 7 skies, than the Kursi and than the Arsh of Allaah, to which whole creation becomes incomparable, I Ask:
How can we comprehend the Creator of this colossal incomprehensible creation in this tiny puny world??? Can you even stare at the Sun for a mere 1 minute??
So Islam is true not only because it says so, because the GOD (Allaah) fulfills his words in the Holy Quran and this is the only religion you will find which is the most praised and naturally accepted and practiced by a mass majority all around the world.

Indeed, you have not read the whole quran, verses like-
- Say, "The truth is from your Lord": Let him who will believe, and let him who will, reject (it)...(18:29)
- To you be your religion and to me,my religion. (109:6)
- There shall be no compulsion in the acceptance of religion. (2:256)
- So [Prophet] warn them: your only task is to give warning,(88:21)
- you are not there to control them. (88:22)
- And had your LORD willed, those on earth would have believed- all of them, entirely. Then, O Prophet, would you compell the people against their will in order that they become believers? And it is not for a soul to believe, except by permission of GOD, and he will place defilement upon those who will not use reason. (10:99-100)
- It is true thou wilt not be able to guide every one, whom thou lovest; but Allah guides those whom He will and He knows best those who receive guidance. (28:56)
- [Believers], do not revile those they call on beside God in case they, in their hostility and ignorance, revile God. To each community We make their own actions seem alluring, but in the end they will return to their Lord and He will inform them of all they did. (6:108)
- if anyone kills a person- unless in retribution for murder or spreading corruption in the land- it is as if he kills all mankind, while if any saves a life it is as if he saves the lives of all mankind. (5:32)
- The Believers are but a single Brotherhood: So make peace and reconciliation between your two (contending) brothers; and fear Allah, that ye may receive Mercy. (49:10)
- ...Thus did We plan for Joseph. He could not take his brother by the law of the king except that Allah willed it (so). We raise to degrees (of wisdom) whom We please: but over all endued with knowledge is one, the All-Knowing. (12:76)
Islam teaches tolerance it teaches us not to mock other religions, Islam teaches "Truth stands out clear from Error" (2:256) so it is not for us to compel someone to abide to our beliefs. we all can live together peacefully we can accept our differences but at the end "...But Allah will judge between them on the Day of Judgment, as to their differences". (16:124).

Islam teaches acceptance and tolerance to other religions- it teaches us not to mock other religions, Islam teaches us to not compel someone to become a muslim, Islam believes in reason rather than blind belief, we all can live together peacefully.

“When your lord brought out their offspring from the children of Adam, from their backs, and made them testify to themselves: ‘Am I not your lord?’ They said,‘Yes, we have borne witness.’ (Qur’an 7:172):
It was in this pre-worldly life that the destinies of all humanity were sealed, and the standard commentators view this as a statement of divine predestination. Those who answered “yes” would be the obedient servants of God, and those who did not reply would be rebels. This primordial scene becomes the charter both for ethics, as an acknowledgment of divine authority, and for spirituality, as a testimony to the intimate relationship between God and humanity.
predestination is that we make our own choices. Yes, God has given us the freedom to make decisions which is a great courtesy from Him. We have the right to choose our own paths by accepting what we want and rejecting what we don’t want. God has bestowed every individual with many gifts and talents, and it is up to us how we make use of it. Whether we will be grateful towards our Lord or unappreciative, it is totally up to us.
Definitely God knows what will happen to everyone. He knows which of us will choose guidance and which of us will go astray. However, this does not mean that we live our life with our eyes shut. God has sent His Messengers, His Books, and His guidance for a purpose. This purpose should give us a strong reason in life, which is to submit, obey and worship the One and Only God. It's about time to accept it.

Imagine you entered an amazing palace. As you walk through the hallway, you are struck by the size of the building and decide to explore by opening the nearest door. As you enter the room, you see hundreds of chairs and tables arranged like a classroom. Suddenly you lose any motivation to explore the other rooms. You decide to leave the palace and head off to meet your friend at a local coffee shop. As you drink coffee with your friend he asks you, “So what did you see in the palace?” You reply, “Just a room full of tables and chairs arranged like a classroom”. Your friend then asks, “Why didn’t you see the other rooms?” You reply by saying, “There’s no point, there was nothing to see. If this room was full of chairs and tables, then the other rooms will have nothing in them.”
Is this reply rational? Does it logically follow that just because there is something in one room, there will be nothing in the other rooms? Of course it does not. Atheists who claim that science has disproved God follow a similar logic.
Science focuses its attention on only what observations can solve. However, God, by definition, is a Being who is outside the physical realm. Therefore, any direct observation of Him is impossible.
The fact that science does not lead to atheism is attested by the majority of the philosophers of science. For example, Hugh Gauch rightly concludes that to
“insist that… science supports atheism is to get high marks for enthusiasm but low marks for logic.”
Gauch makes perfect sense because the method of thinking that relies on observation cannot deny what cannot be observed. What science can do, however, is stay silent on that matter or provide evidence that philosophers can use to formulate a philosophical argument that God exists. Notwithstanding, there are arguments that use scientific evidence that conclude God’s existence is unlikely. These are known as evidential arguments; they are philosophical in nature and not physically scientific conclusions.

There are other alternatives. Your assuming that Science is the only way to establish the truth about reality, and it can answer all questions. The assertion, known as scientism, claims that a statement is not true if it cannot be scientifically proven. atheists In general, constantly presume this assertion.
However science is not the only way to acquire truth about the world. The limitations of the scientific method demonstrate that science cannot answer all questions. Some of its main limitations include that it:
• is limited to observation
• is morally neutral
• cannot delve into the personal
• cannot answer why things happen
• cannot address some metaphysical questions
• cannot prove necessary truths
Also it is worth to note that scientism is self-defeating. Scientism claims that a proposition is not true if it cannot be scientifically proven. Yet the this statement itself cannot be scientifically proven. It is like saying, “There are no sentences in the English language longer than three words”, which is self-defeating because that sentence is longer than three words.
There are other evidential arguments. philosophical and logical deductive arguments for God such as the cosmological argument or the ontological arguments
There is a whole host of evidence that supports the existence of God. While it’s difficult to prove or disprove the existence of God through material means, one can at least show that the possibility of God’s existence is highly probable. When the facts are laid out in front of someone, they can make the decision for themselves whether or not they think God exists. However, when you look at everything, the possibility of God existing makes far, far, more sense then the possibility that He doesn’t exist.
logical train of thought, sometimes referred to as the cosmological argument, which determines that God, as the uncaused cause or first cause, is the most reasonable answer to the existential question.

If science is the only method to explain reality, then can it explain consciousness?
the existence of consciousness can only be explained by a non-materialist worldview. Other explanations fail from the onset—for instance, a cold, materialistic view on the universe offers no hope for a solution to the problem. Imagine in the beginning of the universe all you had were simple arrangements of matter, and after a long period of time, they rearranged themselves into human beings to form consciousness. This sounds like magic, because matter is cold, blind and non-conscious, so how can it be responsible for such a phenomenon? It cannot.
For example, I cannot give you £10 if I do not have it. Likewise, matter cannot give rise to consciousness if it does not contain it or have the potential to give rise to it.
As I said earlier science cannot explain the metaphysical. Science can address some metaphysical questions. However, these are the questions that can be empirically addressed. For example, science has been able to address the beginning of the universe via its field known as cosmology. Nevertheless, some valid questions cannot be answered scientifically. These include:
Why do conclusions in deductive reasoning necessarily follow from the previous premises? Is there an afterlife? Do souls exist? What is it like for a conscious organism to experience a subjective conscious experience? Why is there something rather than nothing?
The reason that science cannot address these questions is because they refer to things that go beyond the physical, observable world.
If matter and consciousness are distinct, it follows that consciousness could not have emerged from matter. However, if matter contains conscious properties, then how did these properties arise? We need to ask this ontological question because consciousness is very different from material stuff. In order to explain the fact that subjective conscious experiences exist, God must have created consciousness. It is far more coherent to postulate an All-Aware conscious agent to explain consciousness. From this point of view, theism offers a far richer explanation.

Amidst the fiercest persecution and abuse that the Muslims faced in the earliest Meccan period, the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ would stand without wavering and convey to his followers God’s promise of Islam spreading all over the world. Tamīm ad-Dāri (rA) reports that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said,:
“This matter will certainly reach every place touched by the night and day. Allah will not leave a house of mud or [even] fur except that Allah will cause this religion to enter it, by which the honorable will be honored and the disgraceful will be disgraced. Allah will honor the honorable with Islam and he will disgrace the disgraceful with unbelief.”[3]
In another narration, reported by Thawbān:
(rA), “Indeed, Allah gathered up the earth for me so that I saw its east and its west; and indeed the dominion of my nation will reach what was gathered up for me from it.”
The fact that these predictions were made at a time when Muslims were a powerless handful, and Islam was expected to be buried in its cradle, is nothing short of miraculous. At that point, presuming that the faith would even survive would be considered by most nothing short of a pipe-dream. But to predict that Islam would not just survive, but grow to thrive globally, was at that point inconceivable. For us nowadays, witnessing a quarter of this planet’s population Muslims that's makes it clear that this was no presumption, but instead another prophecy inspired by the Divine.

- To you be your religion and to me,my religion. (109:6)
- There shall be no compulsion in the acceptance of religion. (2:256)
- So [Prophet] warn them: your only task is to give warning,(88:21)
- you are not there to control them. (88:22)
- And had your LORD willed, those on earth would have believed- all of them, entirely. Then, O Prophet, would you compell the people against their will in order that they become believers? And it is not for a soul to believe, except by permission of GOD, and he will place defilement upon those who will not use reason. (10:99-100)
- It is true thou wilt not be able to guide every one, whom thou lovest; but Allah guides those whom He will and He knows best those who receive guidance. (28:56)
- [Believers], do not revile those they call on beside God in case they, in their hostility and ignorance, revile God. To each community We make their own actions seem alluring, but in the end they will return to their Lord and He will inform them of all they did. (6:108)
- if anyone kills a person- unless in retribution for murder or spreading corruption in the land- it is as if he kills all mankind, while if any saves a life it is as if he saves the lives of all mankind. (5:32)
- The Believers are but a single Brotherhood: So make peace and reconciliation between your two (contending) brothers; and fear Allah, that ye may receive Mercy. (49:10)
- ...Thus did We plan for Joseph. He could not take his brother by the law of the king except that Allah willed it (so). We raise to degrees (of wisdom) whom We please: but over all endued with knowledge is one, the All-Knowing. (12:76)
Islam teaches tolerance it teaches us not to mock other religions, Islam teaches "Truth stands out clear from Error" (2:256) so it is not for us to compel someone to abide to our beliefs. we all can live together peacefully we can accept our differences but at the end "...But Allah will judge between them on the Day of Judgment, as to their differences".

Indeed, you have not read the whole quran, verses like-
18:29- So whoever wills- let him believe; and whoever wills- let him disbelieve.
109:6- To you be your religion and to me,my religion.
2:256- There shall be no compulsion in the acceptance of religion.
10:99-100- And had your LORD willed, those on earth would have believed- all of them, entirely. Then, O Prophet(PBUH), would you compell the people against their will in order that they become believers? And it is not for a soul to believe, except by permission of GOD, and he will place defilement upon those who will not use reason.
28:56- Indeed, O Prophet(PBUH), you do not guide whom you like, but GOD guides whom he wills.
6:108- And do not insult and mock those (other gods) they(non-muslims) invoke other than [your-muslim] GOD.
5:32- Whoever kills a innocent man unjustly- it is as if he had slain the whole mankind. And whoever saves one- it is as if he had saved the whole mankind(life is holy/sacred).
49:10- Humanity is a single brotherhood(equal) so make peace with your brothers!
12:76- Thus did I (GOD) planned for Joseph(PBUH), he could not have taken his brother within Islam(religion of the King) except by GOD's will. I(GOD) raise in degrees whom I(GOD) will
Islam teaches pluralism and acceptance and tolerance to other religions- it teaches us not to mock other religions, Islam teaches us to not compel someone to become a muslim, forceful conversions are a NO-NO!, Islam believes in reason and logic rather than blind belief, it us teaches all the humankind is a single community(brotherhood), we all can live together peacefully and with love

@bashirjoseph5261
It doesn't matter where you've been born or what are your cousins. That's irrelevant and doesn't gives you any credibility of knowing Islam. Someone as vicious as abu-lahab was born in the midst of holy city of mecca and a relative to the Prophet of God himself. Yet he failed miserably to know and comply to Islam. So don't think you have any privileges of knowing Islam by merely having Muslim relatives. You're simply on equal footage with abu-lahab. The commonalities between you both are quite apparent: know Arabic, born in middle east, have Muslim relatives, but yet know little about Islam.
Moreover if you're knowledgeable as you so claim you wouldn't make the mistake of stating Muslims are "a group of people". Muslims are not bound by a particular race, culture, or language.
If you truly know Islam you wouldn't claim Quran never existed during the Prophet's life. Also I'm aware of the process of Quranic transmission. I'm aware that it was initially revealed orally to the Prophet. But Quran is both; verbal and textual.
the Qur’an has been preserved in both the oral as well as written form in a way no other religious book in history has. The Qur'an we have with us today is the very one word for word which was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). It was collected both in the form of a book and learnt by heart by many companions of the Prophet (pbuh) during his own life time and then transferred verbally as well as in the written form to the next generations. Such is the monumental nature of this transmission that the inerrancy of the Qur'anic text is an incontestable reality.
Furthermore Upon receiving revelation, the Prophet pbuh engaged himself in the duty of conveying the message to his Companions through reciting the exact words he heard in their exact order. Since Literacy was not widespread among the Arabs Quran was initially memorized orally In ancient times, when writing was scarcely used, memory and oral transmission was exercised and strengthened to a high degree.
And the tradition of memorizing the Quran was taken by numerous of individuals from the first Muslim community and continued till this day. Indeed, memorization of the Qur’an emerged into a continuous tradition across the centuries, with schools for memorization being established across the Muslim world. In these schools, students learn and memorize the Qur’an at the feet of a master who in turn acquired the knowledge from his teacher, an ‘un-broken chain’ going all the way back to the Prophet of God. And surprisingly the Quran itself explains that it was made to be easy to memorize:
"And We have certainly made the Quran easy to remember. So is there anyone who will be mindful? - Quran 54:17
Thus no wonder that The Qur’an is perhaps the only book, religious or secular, that has been memorized completely by millions of people.

Amidst the fiercest persecution and abuse that the Muslims faced in the earliest Meccan period, the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ would stand without wavering and convey to his followers God’s promise of Islam spreading all over the world. Tamīm ad-Dāri (rA) reports that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “This matter will certainly reach every place touched by the night and day. Allah will not leave a house of mud or [even] fur except that Allah will cause this religion to enter it, by which the honorable will be honored and the disgraceful will be disgraced. Allah will honor the honorable with Islam and he will disgrace the disgraceful with unbelief.”[3] In another narration, reported by Thawbān (rA), “Indeed, Allah gathered up the earth for me so that I saw its east and its west; and indeed the dominion of my nation will reach what was gathered up for me from it.”[4]
The fact that these predictions were made at a time when Muslims were a powerless handful, and Islam was expected to be buried in its cradle, is nothing short of miraculous. At that point, presuming that the faith would even survive would be considered by most nothing short of a pipe-dream. But to predict that Islam would not just survive, but grow to thrive globally, was at that point inconceivable. For us nowadays, witnessing a quarter of this planet’s population as subscribers to Islam makes it clear that this was no presumption, but instead another prophecy inspired by the Divine.

I will demonstrate to you how we can arrive to a conclusion that the existence of God is highly probable using an intellectual discourse and a rational arguments. Thus my "proof" that I will going to present is not engaged to a holy scripture since you seem to dislike it or find it doubtful.
First and foremost we find that in this world, nothing happens without a cause. Every effect has its cause, and every cause also has a cause that preceded it. This logically necessitates that the chain of causes and effects can be traced back to an original, first cause. Unless there is a first cause to set all other causes and effects in motion, no causes and effects could exist. What could this first cause of all causes then be? You guessed it. God. God is the first cause of all causes and He sets all other causes and effects into motion. Now, a disbeliever may object and say, “well, who created God then?” Well, God is by nature the cause of all causes. If someone created God, then that thing that created God would have to be God.
God by nature, requires no cause outside of Himself to exist. Our logic also only applies in the realm of matter. It is logically possible to say that there has to be a first cause in this world because we’re still talking about the realm of matter. Because God is all-powerful, He can create the first material cause. However, because God is Himself spiritual and outside the realm of matter, we can not apply the condition that He Himself must have a cause onto Him.

Interestingly, the Islamic religion possesses extensive resources that lend themselves to concepts of religious tolerance. The Qur’an (2:256) explicitly states, “There is no compulsion in religion.”
With respect to other religions, only Islamic have traditionally accepted the concept of multiple revelations, in the concept of the “peoples of the book.” The Qur’an invokes the authority of the prophets Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and many others, some of whose names are central to the texts of the Bible. Three major earlier scriptures are cited in the Qur’an: the Torah of Moses, the Psalms of David, and the Gospel of Jesus. And there were certainly indications that there may have been many other prophets who brought revelations. The Qur’an depicts this multiplicity as part of the divine plan:
“To each of you We have ordained a code of law and a way of life. If Allah had willed, He would have made you one community, but His Will is to test you with what He has given ˹each of˺ you. So compete with one another in doing good. To Allah you will all return, then He will inform you ˹of the truth˺ regarding your differences.” (Quran 5:48)
The Qur’an affirms that God has created people to be different, and they will always remain different, not only in their appearance but also in their beliefs (Quran 11:118–19) and it is up to each person whether to become a believer or not.
"Had your Lord so willed ˹O Prophet˺, all ˹people˺ on earth would have certainly believed, every single one of them! Would you then force people to become believers?" - Quran 10:99

- It is true thou wilt not be able to guide every one, whom thou lovest; but Allah guides those whom He will and He knows best those who receive guidance. (28:56)
- [Believers], do not revile those they call on beside God in case they, in their hostility and ignorance, revile God. To each community We make their own actions seem alluring, but in the end they will return to their Lord and He will inform them of all they did. (6:108)
- if anyone kills a person- unless in retribution for murder or spreading corruption in the land- it is as if he kills all mankind, while if any saves a life it is as if he saves the lives of all mankind. (5:32)
- The Believers are but a single Brotherhood: So make peace and reconciliation between your two (contending) brothers; and fear Allah, that ye may receive Mercy. (49:10)
- ...Thus did We plan for Joseph. He could not take his brother by the law of the king except that Allah willed it (so). We raise to degrees (of wisdom) whom We please: but over all endued with knowledge is one, the All-Knowing. (12:76)
Islam teaches tolerance to other religions- it teaches us not to mock other religions, Islam teaches "Truth stands out clear from Error" (2:256) so it is not for us to compel someone to abide to our beliefs. we all can live together peacefully we can accept our differences but at the end "...But Allah will judge between them on the Day of Judgment, as to their differences". (16:124) all our problems will be settled at the end.

Well i don't care what the Shaikh says because the Quran is far superior:
- "Say, "The truth is from your Lord": Let him who will believe, and let him who will, reject (it)..." (18:29)
- "To you be your religion and to me,my religion" (109:6)
- "There shall be no compulsion in the acceptance of religion" (2:256)
- "So [Prophet] warn them: your only task is to give warning" (88:21)
- "you are not there to control them" (88:22)
- "And had your LORD willed, those on earth would have believed- all of them, entirely. Then, O Prophet, would you compell the people against their will in order that they become believers? And it is not for a soul to believe, except by permission of GOD, and he will place defilement upon those who will not use reason" (10:99-100)

- "So obey Allah, and obey His Messenger: but if ye turn back, the duty of Our Messenger is but to proclaim (the Message) clearly and openly" (63:12)
