Insaan har daur mein is sawal ka jawab dhoondta raha hai: “Who is Allah?” Kya Allah ek shakhs hai? Kya woh asmaan mein hai? Kya unki koi shakl hai? Aur sabse bara sawal – kya hum Allah ko jaankar yaqeen laa sakte hain, ya sirf andhon ki tarah iman lana padta hai?
Aksar log, khaaskar atheists ya non-religious individuals, yeh keh kar Islam ko challenge karte hain: “Allah ko samjha nahi ja sakta, to phir yaqeen kaise karein?” Ya phir woh Islam aur Christianity dono par yeh ilzaam lagate hain ke yeh sirf emotional appeal hai – “bas yakeen kar lo.”
Lekin kya Islam waqai sirf blind faith maangta hai? Ya kya isme koi aisi rational buniyad bhi hai jise hum samajh sakte hain?
Aaiye, hum yeh sab kuch logically, emotional wisdom aur Islamic perspective ke saath explore karte hain.

Key Takeaways:
- Islam blind faith nahi maangta, balke reasoning aur aqal ke istemal par zor deta hai.
- Allah ka har pehlu samajhna mumkin nahi, lekin jitna bataya gaya hai woh kaafi hai iman lane ke liye.
- “Samajh mein na aana” aur “samajhne ki koshish hi na karna” dono mein farq hai.
- Atheists ka objection ke Allah ko samjha nahi ja sakta, ek Strawman fallacy hai.
- Allah ke kuch sifat insaan ki samajh mein aate hain, lekin unki hakikat ka poora idraak mumkin nahi.
Kya Allah Ko Samajhna Insaan Ke Liye Mumkin Hai?
Objection: Allah agar waqai hai, to insaan unko samajh kyun nahi sakta? Agar samajh nahi sakta, to iman kaise laayen?
Ye objection pehli nazar mein powerful lagta hai, lekin asal mein ye ek false expectation aur Strawman fallacy hai. Islam kabhi yeh nahi kehta ke Allah ko mukammal tor par samajhna zaroori hai. Islam yeh kehta hai ke:
“Allah ko poori tarah samajhna insani limit se baahar hai – aur yahi unka Rabb hone ki nishani hai.”
Logic:
Agar koi entity waqai Creator hai, to uska level insaan se infinitely ooper hoga. Agar insaan Allah ko mukammal samajhne lage, to ya to woh Allah insaan ke jaisa hai (Na’uzubillah), ya insaan khuda ban gaya – dono assumptions irrational hain.
Example:
Ek insaan se puchha jaye: “Kya tumne puray universe ka har kona dekha hai?” Agar jawab “nahi” hai (aur hamesha hoga), to kya woh keh sakta hai ke “jo mujhe samajh nahi aaya woh exist nahi karta?” Yeh argument khud mein flawed hai.
Kya Sirf “Yakeen Kar Lo” Ka Kehna Kafi Hai?
Objection: Islam bhi Christianity ki tarah sirf keh deta hai: ‘bas yaqeen kar lo.’ Kya ye circular reasoning nahi hai?
Ye objection bhi confusion par mabni hai. Islam mein taqleed (blind following) ki jagah ta’aqqul (reasoning) ka concept hai. Qur’an baar baar kehta hai:
“Kya tum aqal nahi chalaate?”
“Un ke dil hain jo samajhte nahi.”
Yani Islam ka yeh message hai ke yaqeen tabhi qabil-e-qabool hai jab woh dalil, soch aur ikhtiyar par mabni ho.
Agar koi insaan sirf is liye Muslim hai ke uske maa-baap Muslim thay, to uska iman bhi daaliyon par latka hua hai. Islam ye nahi chaahta. Islam chaahta hai ke tum soch kar, samajh kar, yaqeen lao.
Who Is Allah? Allah Ki Haqeeqat Samajhna vs. Allah Ko Pehchanna
Objection: Agar Allah ki haqeeqat samajh nahi aati, to unka maana kya?
Yeh objection bhi ek misunderstanding se bharpur hai. Islam mein Allah ki zaat aur Allah ke asar (attributes) mein farq hai.
Hum Allah ke kuch asar (attributes) jaante hain:
- Woh Rehman hai.
- Woh Qadir hai.
- Woh Alim hai.
Lekin unki kaifiyat (how He is all-merciful, all-knowing) hamesha humari soch se baahar rahegi.
Misal:
Hum gravity ko mehsoos karte hain, lekin uski asal essence ab tak kisi scientist ko samajh nahi aayi. Phir bhi hum uska inkaar nahi karte. Isi tarah, hum Allah ke asar ko dekhte hain – duniya ka nizaam, insani fitrat, spiritual sukoon – lekin zaat ka poora idraak sirf Khuda ke liye mumkin hai.
Logical Fallacy: “Agar Samajh Na Aaye To Reject Kar Do”
Ye objection, ke “agar Allah samajh nahi aate to woh exist nahi karte,” asal mein Argument from Ignorance fallacy hai. Iska matlab hota hai:
“Jo mujhe nahi pata, woh hai hi nahi.”
Yeh reasoning irrational hai. Har roz naye scientific discoveries batate hain ke humari samajh incomplete thi. Phir bhi kya hum un truths ka inkaar karte hain jab tak samajh na aayein?
Allah Ne Kya Kaha? – Qur’anic Perspective
Allah Ta’ala ne Qur’an mein kaha:
“Woh tumhari basar se baala-tar hai.” (Surah An’am)
Iska matlab yeh nahi ke Allah unapproachable hai. Balki yeh hai ke Allah itne azeem hain ke unki mukammal zaat ko samajhna insaan ke scope se baahir hai.
Lekin phir bhi Allah ne apne baare mein kafi kuch bataya hai – jise samajh kar insaan yaqeen la sakta hai:
- Allah Wahid hai.
- Uska koi shareek nahi.
- Woh har jagah ka malak hai.
- Har cheez ka ilm rakhta hai.
Conclusion
Hum Allah ki zaat ka mukammal idraak nahi kar sakte – aur yahi sabse badi daleel hai ke woh waqai Allah hai. Agar Allah insaan ki soch mein fit ho jaye, to woh insaan ban jaye – aur yeh to khuda ka inkaar hai.
Islam yaqeen ko logical reasoning ke zariye invite karta hai, na ke blind faith ke zariye. Insaan ki duty hai ke woh apni aqal ka istimal kare, daleelon par ghour kare, aur Allah ke bataye hue pehluon se usse pehchane.
Yeh maqool, ilmiy aur fitri tareeqa hai – jo sirf Islam hi deta hai.
FAQs
Q: Kya Allah ko samajhne ke liye sirf aqal kaafi hai?
A: Sirf aqal nahi, lekin aqal ek zaruri qadam hai. Islam mein yaqeen aqal ke baad hota hai – andhi taqleed par nahi.
Q: Agar Allah samajh nahi aate to iman kaise laayein?
A: Har cheez samajhne ki zarurat nahi hoti. Jaise hum gravity ya time ko fully samajh nahi sakte, magar uska asar dekh kar uska yaqeen rakhte hain.
Q: Kya yeh kehna circular reasoning hai ke ‘jo Allah ko samajh nahi sakta woh Allah hi hai’?
A: Nahi. Yeh circular nahi, logical hai. Agar koi cheez infinite hai, aur hum finite hain, to uska poora idraak hum nahi kar sakte – yeh ek aqalmandi ka principle hai.
Q: Kya Islam bhi bas ‘yakeen kar lo’ ka message deta hai?
A: Islam reasoning aur questioning ko promote karta hai. Qur’an mein bar bar aqal aur soch-vichar ka zikr hai.
Q: Kya Allah ka thron (arsh) par hona literal hai?
A: Iski kaifiyat Allah hi jaanta hai. Insani soch is level ko comprehend nahi kar sakti. Magar yeh batata hai ke Allah supreme hai.
