Creation points to Allah’s existence

SNMC · Hesham Alaghbari

“Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala exists, and the simplest of arguments are there for His existence, and for Him being the only one worthy of worship.”

The khateeb, at 22:42

In one sentence

Belief in Allah can be strengthened and explained through the clear evidence of creation and the fitrah, while doubts should be answered by reconnecting with Allah’s attributes.

The khutbah in 6 steps

  1. Opens with praise of Allah and a reminder of humanity’s shared origin and family obligations.
  2. Relates the companion who repeatedly recited Surah al-Ikhlas because it describes Allah’s attributes.
  3. Explains that intrusive doubts can occur without negating faith when they are rejected and not spoken.
  4. Presents creation and natural inclination as two simple proofs of Allah’s existence.
  5. Explains that denial often comes from arrogance or rejection rather than lack of evidence.
  6. Returns to Surah al-Ikhlas as a foundational statement of faith and encourages reflective recitation.

For the dinner table

The khutbah teaches that the evidence for Allah is close to us in creation and within our natural inclination to seek a higher power. The speaker says doubts can happen, even to believers, and that refusing to voice harmful whispers can itself reflect faith. Surah al-Ikhlas helps us remember who Allah is: One, self-sufficient, and unlike anything else. We are encouraged to recite it regularly and think about its meaning. The khutbah also reminds us to explain faith simply and patiently to others.
