Argument from Guidance and Its Relation to Argument from Design and Genesis

Author(s):
Abstract:
One of the arguments provided to establish the existence of God and his divinity is argument from guidance. Most Islamic scholars have taken the guidance in creatures as structural and ordered guidance and discussed it in the form of argument from design or argument from genesis and so on. Yet some other scholars, following some Quranic verses, have considered existence of God as a guider independent from his creation and separate from genesis of human beings and urged to distinguish between argument from guidance and argument from design and genesis. this paper, inspired from Quranic verses, will explain different accounts of argument from guidance, and its relation with similar arguments like argument from design and genesis have been analyzed, and finally some instances of guidance of creatures and their marvelous actions, which are manifestations of divine guidance, will be propounded.
