Chapter - 8 Polytheism - Shirk.

How to prove the oneness of God at school level.

If there are two gods, then there should be two different types of major systems governingthe mechanism of creation in the universe.If there are three gods then there should be three different kinds of systems. And if there are many gods then we should find plenty of systems.But scientists have confirmed that they have seen only one system throughout the universe.

Let us analyze the working mechanism of the creation.
Atom is the smallest indivisible and invisible par ticle of matter. It is a unit of matter. Scientists took 400 years just to know the secrets locked inside the atom. Still a lot of secrets are not yet disclosed and scientists are trying day and night to know them.

Every atom in the universe is a complete sign of Divine creation. They all have a great organization, beauty and purpose in them. Now we know that everything is made up of atoms. All objects consist of atoms. The billions of things we see around, natural or man-made, living or non-living, visible or invisible are made up of atoms. They differ widely from one another only because they are made up of different kinds of atoms or they have different arrangements of atoms. Scientists have arranged the known atoms (elements) in the periodic table according to their atomic numbers. The atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus of the atom.

It is a religious belief of all the scientists, that all atoms, which constitute billions of different kinds of natural and synthetic compounds, have the same basic structure. i.e., all atoms have one thing in common - they all have electrons (negatively charged par ticles) that whirl around the nucleus and protons (positively charged particles) and neutrons in the nucleus (core of the atom). They all follow the same rule of chemical combination to form billions of different kinds of substances.

Thus, when all atoms in the universe which are the basic raw material of everything that exist in the universe, have only one kind of machinery i.e., common working mechanism, it convincingly proves that they all have one and only one origin of creation. This scientific observation which is not disputed by any atheist scientist is a clear proof of oneness of God.

Thus Tawhid is a scientific belief of all scientists, when they are in their experimental labs, be they Christians in their Churches, Jews in their Synagogues, Hindus in their temples and atheists or polytheist in their imagination.

Quran also gives a very strong proof that why there should be only one God.

“Had there been other gods in heavens or earth besides Allah, there would have been confusion in both”. (21:22)

Thus, a beautiful harmony in Nature and a perfect orderliness in the universe acknowledged by all scientists of the world is a strong proof of absolute oneness of God.

“Say: I only call upon my Lord, and I do not associate anyone with Him”. (72:20)
