Why should I believe in God

Belief in Allah as the reason for our existence is rooted in the understanding that Allah is the Creator of everything, including humanity and the universe. According to Islamic teachings, humans are created with a purpose, which is to worship Allah and live righteously. This belief is supported by both reason and revelation. Reason indicates that the complexity and order in the universe demand a Creator, as things cannot create themselves or come into existence by accident. Human beings have an innate disposition (fitrah) towards belief in a Creator. The Quran explicitly states that Allah did not create the universe and life aimlessly or without purpose; rather, the purpose is to worship Allah and to strive to do good deeds. Worship here is not for Allah’s benefit but for humans’ own spiritual fulfillment and success in this life and the hereafter. This concept encourages mindful reflection on the world as signs of Allah’s existence and purpose for creation.
