yes. the person says that until he is given proof of the existance of Allah, he will not consider it. he wants a 'sign' of some sort, some sort of indication. everything else, in his opinion, is meaningless. he said that once, while he was a child, he prayed to Allah for a miracle. something so different, that will help him believe that there is someone out there, who was in complete control. i have tried my level best of finding articles online, also the person has talked to many people, including Dr.Zakir but he has been told that to even consider the fact that Allah does not exist, is shirk.
i dont know what to do next.
Dr. Jeffrey Lang was raised as a Christian, but when he was 12 he started doubting the existence of God. At home there were troubles with his father for which he blamed God. At the age of 18 he became an atheist. During this time however he had the one dream multiple times.
He described the dream as follow:

It was a tiny room with no furniture, and there was nothing on its grayish-white walls. Its only adornment was the predominantly red-and-white patterned carpet that covered the floor. There was a small window, like a basement window, above and facing us, filling the room with bril*liant light. We were in rows; I was in the third. There were only men, no women, and all of us were sitting on our heels and facing the direction of the window.

It felt foreign. I recognized no one. Perhaps I was in another country. We bowed down uniformly, our faces to the floor. It was serene and quiet, as if all sound had been turned off. All at once, we sat back on our heels. As I looked ahead, I realized that we were being led by someone in front who was off to my left, in the middle, below the window. He stood alone. I only had the briefest glance at his back. He was wearing a long white gown, and on his head was a white scarf with a red design. And that is when I would awaken.


He didn't know what it meant but it made him comfortable, even thought the same dream
repeated multiple times during the next ten years of his life.
At the age of 28 he met a Saudi friend who eventually gave him the Qur'an.
After reading it and a lot of thinking he became a Muslim. So one day he went to the
mosque to pray:

We bowed down in prostration with our faces on the red-and-white carpet. It was serene and quiet, as if the sound had been turned off. And then we sat back on our heels again.

As I looked ahead, I could see Ghassan, off to my left, in the middle, below the window that was flooding the room with light. He was alone, without a row. He was wearing a long white gown and on his head was a white scarf with a red design.

The dream! I screamed inwardly. The dream exactly! I had forgotten it completely, and now I was stunned and frightened. Am I dreaming? I wondered. Will I awaken? I tried to focus on what was happening to determine whether I was asleep. A rush of cold flowed through my body, making me shudder. My God, this is real! Then the coldness subsided, succeeded by gentle warmth radiating from within. Tears welled up in my eyes.


Your friend should read his books (Even Angels Ask and Struggeling to surrender).
The above is probably the 'sign' your friend is looking for.
