The Devils Deception by Imam Ibn AL-Jawzi

Chapter Five: Devil's Deception in Matters of Creed (al- 'aqd>id) and Religion
knuckles so they can bend and open to perform work; they never
become hollow from work, otherwise they would break, how some
fingers are longer than others so they all become the same length
when bent, and how the most hidden of the body is that which
holds it together, the soul, once it goes the body become corrupt,
and intellect that leads to welfare community, whoever ponders on
all of these things must surely call: Can there be any doubt about
Allah?
He who denies Allah is confused because he sought Him through
the senses. Others denied Allah because they were unable to sense
Him after he had proven His existence in principle. So he went back
and denied the principle itself Had these persons used their intellects
they would have realised that there are things that can only be
determined in principle, such as: the soul and intellect, the existence
of which was denied by nobody. What else is the objective other
than proving Allah's existence in principle? And how can anyone
ask: How is He? or what is He? When He has no "howness" or
"whatness".
Among the clear proofs of His existence is that the world is accidental
(became after it was not) because it is never free from accidents.
Anything that is never free from accidents is, itself, accidental.
There must be a causer for these accidents, and the causer is the
Creator (the Mighty and the Majestic).
Atheists object to us saying: "(The concept that) anything created
must have a creator is based on observation. And we would like to
use the ability to observe as the judge between us."
So we respond by saying: "Just as the created must have a creator,
the created image must possess substance. For example, wood is
the substance of a door, and iron is the substance of an axe."
