Ma`rifat Falsafi

The existence of the Absolutely Perfect, or the Infinite Being, is one of the fundamental convictions of all monotheists, especially Muslims. Such auspicious … as subˆān-Allah, al-ˆamd-u li-llāh, yā Subbūˆ, and yā Quddūs refer to the reality of God as the absolutely perfect. In order to establish such a fundamental conviction, religious (including Muslim) philosophers, have introduced rational arguments and philosophical reasons, which are critically reviewed in this paper. The author also introduces other arguments that have not been sufficiently articulated in the existing philosophical works.
