Is There Any God?
The question is always a mystery. Have you ever heard about any era where there was no religion? The answer is NO. Even in the ancient era, religion had its existence. We can't get back through time to see by our own eyes. But history shows us that even before the civilization, there was religion. Can't we say where there is human, there is the existence of religion? Is it because God created us? Is it really necessary?
Before civilization, human was not as strong as today. We all know it,don't we? They live like animals. That's why they feared natural calamity. That's why the feared fire. At night they use to light fire to save themselves from attack of wild animal. They thought fire was saving them. Fire got power over them. That's why the worshiped fire. Fire was their God. By the passes of time, they realize that they are capable of controlling fire. They got power over fire. So they took fire as natural element, not as God.
Then they looked into sun. When sun rises, the darkness goes away. Sun is light. It enlighten the world, then of course it has the power to enlighten the human heart. It is powerful, mighty. So, they started to worship sun. Now sun is the God. The sun God was the hope of people. People begged to sun to forgive their wrong deeds. They begged to sun when they needed help. But may be someday someone observe that sun can't be the God. It rises and drops everyday. It follows the same path and the behave of sun never changes. What then? So, Sun is not the God?
Then who is the God? Era after era passed. Sometimes fire, sometimes sun, moon sometimes water, air and so on were God. When human acquired much knowledge about most of the things on earth, they started thinking nothing on this earth can be God. Then God must be somewhere else. Somewhere we can't see. Somewhere deep in the sky. Somewhere we can't reach. Of course God is out of our reach. If we can reach to God, then this concept would fall too like fire and sun. Am I right? Then where is God?
Is there really any God? What do you think?
I'm gonna tell what I think. Why there is a tendency in human to find someone who got the power over all? When every animal ran away from powerful different species, like wild cows always ran away seeing tiger is coming. Why they don't worship the mighty one while Human do? If our and their origin were same, of course we would do the same. But we always find the one who is all mighty and we respect him and bow to him. Can't it be that there is someone who have given this special characteristic in us? Can't it be there is Creator who have created everything for a purpose. He have given us the characteristic to fear Him and bow to Him and pray Him? When Creator created first Man and Woman, He was with them. They saw the God by their own eyes. Then may be for some reason they were sent to earth. Or maybe earth were created for them. It can be anything. May be God wanted to create a nation that will obey Him and pray Him without seeing Him. If God wanted, he obviously could create such kind of creature who will obey Him and pray Him all day night long. But it would be quite robotic. He wanted a nation, that is not programmed to pray and obey Him. That's why He created Human like this. Who have tendency to find out someone who is almighty and bow to Him.
Of course at that time the first Man and Women prayed the God the way He liked. Then generation after generation did the same. But by the passes of time, they forgot the name of the God. They followed the path of their own nature. So the God hit the world hard. The civilization, the was gone. Nothing were left except a few child, trees and animals. Those child grew up. Then raised their children. They knew nothing but to survive. They were the people of dark age. Can't it be? That is why they feared someone or something who is stronger than them. That is why they didn't run away from them like other animals. It is in their nature to show respect and worship. Can't this be true? May be it is. May be not.
If you think its true. Then there is a God. If you don't. There is none. Take it as a story. No matter how you take this. It is still a question. Is there any God? No matter how deeply I think. My thinking starts with this question: 'Is there any God?' Then I keep thinking and thinking. And finally I got an answer. The answer of this question is it self a question. IS THERE REALLY ANY GOD?
(I'm Nuruzzaman Faruqui. This is my opinion, my imagination, my question.Please don't take it as attack on your religion. If there is really any God, I just want Him to know, I want to follow the way He wants. I want do whatever he wants. All I need an answer. Is there any God?)
