Where Isn't God? -

A Waseem khattak

I haven’t heard debates like “God exists, God does not exist,” and I don’t plan to. It’s simple: I don’t doubt, question, or argue about the existence of God. I don’t just believe in logic; I believe in the visible universe, the heart’s beat, and the soul’s peace. If you just look around, the question of where God is changes to where God isn’t.
God is not limited to places of worship. He is in the mosque’s niche and in the silent prayer of a mother who raises her hands for her child. He is in the forehead, in the tears of the oppressed, and in the prostration. This universe would be nothing but noise if God didn’t exist. But everything here is based on order, balance, and wisdom.
God is there in the morning light and the stillness of night. The sun rising on time, the moon changing shape, and the seasons changing can’t all be random events. They say that there is a Creator who can’t be seen but speaks through everything. Without God, life would be meaningless and only involve breathing.
The human heart is also where God lives. He is the voice of reason that keeps people from doing bad things and pushes them toward good things. When someone doesn’t do something wrong even though they have the power to do so, or when they stand up for the truth even when they’re alone, that is proof that God is with them. People would be slaves to their desires and morality would mean nothing without God.
God is present in nature, manifesting both in beauty and in adversity. Earthquakes, sickness, and hard times show how weak people are, but these same times bring people closer to God. A hand raised in pain and a sigh of helplessness show that people naturally turn to a higher power. These cries would go away into nothingness without God.
God is present in both knowledge and ignorance. The more a person learns, the more they realize how little they really know. The first step toward knowing God is to be humble. Science can tell us what the laws of the universe are, but it can’t tell us who made them. God is there in silence.
In reality, denying God is not a matter of logic; it is a matter of perception. How you see the world determines whether you see or don’t see God. Someone who only hears noise doesn’t find meaning; someone who looks for meaning finds God everywhere.
So, for me, the question isn’t whether or not God exists. The real question is, where do people choose to ignore God? God is everywhere, even in places where people don’t want to see Him. This refusal is often caused by fear, doubt, or a desire to be in charge of one’s own fate. Nonetheless, in moments of vulnerability and openness, many observe that recognizing the divine can result in significant transformation and a deeper comprehension of their existence. These kinds of moments of revelation often make people think about their values and purpose, which leads them to look for a connection with something bigger than themselves. This journey can ultimately help foster community and compassion, bridging the divides frequently caused by fear and misunderstanding.
