Hawzah News Agency- In the present era, the majority of people on earth are religious and believe in Allah Who has created the world and worship Him.Ancient man also had the conditions of modern man. So long as history shows, the majority of men were pious and believed in the existence of one Creator. Although differences of opinion existed among theistic and pious societies and each tribe described the origin of creation with particular epithets, they unanimously agreed on the essence of the subject.

Not only Islam, but also other religions such as Christianity, Judaism, Maganism, and Buddhism are of the same opinion and belief about this matter. Those who deny the existence of the Creator do not have convincing proof and would never have one for their denial. In fact, they say they have no reason for Allah's existence, rather than saying they have proof for His non-existence.

A materialistic man says: "I do not know." and does not say "He does not exist." In other words, a materialistic person is doubtful and does not deny.

The Almighty Allah states:

"And they say: There is nothing but our life in this world; we live and die and nothing destroys us but time, and they have no knowledge of that. they only conjecture (45:24)."

Even in the most ancient works discovered from primitive men, signs of religion and theism can be found. There are evidences that primitive men believed in metaphysics. Even in the relatively new continents such as America and Australia and the far off islands of the old continent discovered in recent centuries, the natives were theist. They proved an origin for the world of creation by juxtaposing their views, although the history has never found their relation with the ancient world.

Reflection in this subject that belief in Allah has always existed in man elucidates that theism is innate in man. With his Allah-given nature, man proves the existence of Allah for the creation of the world. The Holy Qur'an points out to this congenital characteristic of man:

"And if you should ask them who created them, they would certainly say: Allah ...(43:87)."

Qur'an also states:

"And if you ask them who created the heavens and the earth, they will certainly say: Allah ... (31:25)."
