Question: I
have heard people say that we are intuitively aware of a Creator. Is this
true?
Answer: There
is no doubt about the fact that the perception of Creator is found in the
intuition of every person. The Qur’an says that before mankind was
created, the Almighty took a covenant from the spirits of all individuals
about Him being their Creator. At that time, all of them acknowledged this
fact which was subsequently made a part of their intuition by the Almighty.
A person who still denies this fact is bound to be doomed in the Hereafter.
The Qur’an says:
When your Lord drew forth from the children of Adam from
their loins their descendants and made them testify upon themselves [saying]:
Am I not your Lord. They said: Yes indeed we do testify. [This was done]
lest you should say on the Day of Judgement: Of this we were unaware of
or [you put forward the excuse] that our forefathers were idolaters and
we were their descendents after them. Will you then destroy us in retribution
of the misdeeds of the evil doers. (7:172-73)
