How most Atheists believe in God
I will prove that some people indirectly believe and never know it.
We usually think that to be an Atheist, it requires for a person to believe that there is no Creator.
“Al Khaaliq” is one of the names for God in the Qur’an which means “the Creator”.
Atheists deny “The Creator”
So it is established that Atheists deny “Al Khaaliq.”
But God has 98 other names excluding the one mentioned above, as well as the main name “Allah”, which means “The God” — Similar to “Elohim” in ancient Hebrew.
Let’s go through a few of these names bearing in mind that they are not simply the names of God, but what God actually is.
Before we do this; it is important that we understand that belief comes from the heart, not the head. It is the heart that God looks at as mentioned in the Qur’an; and from analysing the personalities of the many Atheists I have met over the years, I have come to believe that they, in fact, do believe in God — it is just that their minds do not directly perceive him, even though their hearts do.
Al Haqq — for instance — means “The Truth”. God is the Truth. Most Atheists believe in the Truth because most of them are truthful people who keep their word. There is something in their hearts that compels them to stay attached to the truth, something pure. So although they do not believe in Al-Khaaliq, they cannot deny that they, in fact, do believe in the Al-Haqq — The Truth. This would mean that they believe in God without directly knowing it. A kind It of indirect belief.
As-Saboor means “The Most Patient” and is one of God’s most beautiful attributes. Patience is a quality that God literally is. He isn’t patient, He is patience. So many Atheists who believe in patience, do in fact, believe in God through this name; because patience is God.
There are 96 other examples I could use containing all of the other beautiful names. I guess to believe in God is far more greater than to simply believe in the act of creating. We also have “Al-Wadood”, which means the “All-Loving”. Most Atheists do believe in love; and this would mean they indirectly believe in God, because God is love.
I hope this makes sense!
