ancient Israel with the adoption of Yahweh as the single
object of worship.

three persons of the Holy Trinity, denying the existence
of other thousands of deities.
• Islam is clear in confessing one and eternal God, who is
referred to as Allah. Islam teaches that God cannot be
divided, nor does he have a partner, or does he have a
son.

 ANSWERS FROM HOLY QURAN
Here are the most common arguments put forth by
atheists and their satisfactory answers in Quran:
Creation of earth- Was it via Big bang??
The theory which is just known by us, Quran told 1400+
years about it.
 
• “Do not those who disbelieve see that the heavens and
the Earth were meshed together then We ripped them
apart? And then We made of water everything living?
Would they still not believe? “(21/30)
The Holy Quran also pronounces that all heavenly bodies
are in a constant state of motion; none of them is
stationary:
• “... everything is gliding along smoothly in its orbit”.
(21/34)
An atheist believes that there will be no here after, so
there is no need to be careful about this world’s deeds.
While Quran asks:
• “Have they been created for nothing, or are they
themselves the creators?” (52/36)
• “Consummate wisdom; but the warnings profit them
not”. [54:6]
Then the question arises about our unfulfilled wishes and
dreams; an atheist suspects about God’s superiority by
narrating the unaccomplished desires of a man. Holy
Quran says:
• “Do not follow your own desires and deviate from the
truth”.(04/135)
• “Can man have whatever he desires?” (53/25)
• “And He revealed to it what is wrong for it and what is
right for it”.
• “We created man and we know the temptations of his
soul; we are closer to him than his jugular vein”.[50:16]
• "There is no compulsion in religion..." (02/256)
• "...If God had willed, He would have made you all in
one nation and one religion), but that He (God) left you
in different religions to compete in good deeds and
society benefits. The return of all of you is to God; then
He (God) will inform you about that in which you
differ“. (05/48)
• “So weigh all things in justice and fall not short of the
measure”.(55/10)
•  ”Verily, Allah loves the just”. (49/10)
• “Behold! In the creation of the heavens and the earth; in the
alternation of the Night and the Day; in the sailing of the ships
through the Ocean for the profit of mankind; in the rain which
God sends down from the skies; . . . . . . . .(here) indeed are
Signs for men of understanding”. (2:146).
CONCLUSION
Eventually,
• All of the above arguments simply establish the fact of
one God or monotheism. 
• Under the system of One God, the universe is being
governed smoothly and there is no breach of discipline
or any other types of complaints. 
All these support the fact that God is undoubtedly
One and the Only One.
