Does He Exist?

Some things can't be defined or comprehended by the human mind.
Science (which is a creation of the human mind) cannot justify everything that happens.
Lately, I have been having a disturbing thought.
I keep on wandering if Allah s.w.t actually exists.
I guess that it's because I'm not able to see Allah s.w.t virtually and I have been inflicted with hardships which I feel is beyond my capacity.
I know I'm wrong when it comes to thinking that He's testing me beyond my ability as He has made a promise in the Qur'an: 'Allah will not test a soul beyond what it can bear (2:286)'.

I now realize that my problem was that I didn't look beyond everything that was happening. I wasn't thinking enough about all the signs around me. Islam is a religion that encourages it's believers to think which is why Allah mentions the word 'think/ reason' repeatedly in the Qur'an. So yes, after thinking, my faith has been re-strengthened (In shaa Allah) and I believe that Allah exists. Why, you may ask?

By taking the closest example that I have,
I'm a sign of Allah's existence.
How would I exist without a higher power?
How would the world exist?

So, how do I know that Allah s.w.t is the Supreme Power behind the creation of this amazing world?
How do I know that He is the Mastermind behind everything that happens?
The Qur'an. It's a complete manifestation of life (past, present and future).
Allah s.w.t is the spokesperson and He knew things that none of the creation knew. This has been proven by science which was created my mankind with the gift of the mind granted by Allah s.w.t.
Thus, it's obvious that Allah s.w.t is The One behind the creation of this world.
He is the Only One who deserves to be worshiped.

Yes, I must admit that at times of hardship one would start having such thoughts just like I did.
At times like this, the best thing to do would be to read His verses and make lots of du'a.
Remember that Allah will always keep his promise and he wouldn't test anyone beyond their ability.
Think about your potential home or garden in Jannah. Every challenge that Allah puts you through is a golden opportunity for you to prove to Him that you're worthy of His Jannah.
Don't let your Iman waiver during times of hardships.

Let's pray that Allah s.w.t strengthens our Iman, In shaa Allah :)
