[Rounteetepehryn]

I am 15 years old and a practicing Muslim, and I have been one all my life. I recently decided to become more religious and start reading the Quran more often, but the more I read, the weaker my belief in Allah became, I am sickened to say now that I no longer believe in the existence of God, I still pray and do everything a Muslim does but when I pray I feel like I am just moving and nothing else.

I can not help but to have these feelings and I came here looking for someone to convince me that God exists. I know that if there is a God, it is Allah. But here are the reasons for my sickening feelings: The Quran always says, that the mountains were placed on the Earth to stabilize it, but this is 100% incorrect scientifically. No, this is 100% accurate. Convection currents under the Earth's crust cause the tectonic plates to be constantly moving. Mountains are created at plate boundries, by tectonic plates moving against each other or away from each other. Magma from below the Earth's crust then rises and subsequently, Mounstains form. If mountains didnt form, we would have a world that was constatly experiencing earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.

The Quran always says that Allah raised the sky without pillars, but wait a minute, the SKY doesn't exist, the sky is nothing, there was nothing raised, we went to the moon, there is your proof, we went to mars, we went further than the SKY, the sky is a direction like north/east/west it doesn't exist. Here's a video on the heavens (made by Arabs, by the way)

The Quran always says that Allah brought rain from the sky, but we know that rain comes from condensing water, we know every single step in the formation of rain and we can predict when it will rain, doesn't that mean we are predicting the actions of Allah? Allah says Yanzilu min as-samaai maa. He sends rain down from the sky. What's wrong with that? Doesn't RAIN fall from the sky?

The only reason people believed in the Quran is because it was 1500 years ago and their faith became so strong over the years.

1500 years ago ask someone, where did the sun come from, he would be speechless and believe in god. Ask someone where did rain come from, he would be speechless. 1500 years ago, people looked at the sun and thought that was god, and they worshipped it. Without the Quran, there would be a lot more people doing just that.

How about now, we would say rain comes from condensation, The Quran is quite prophetic on the clouds and rain. See http://corpus.quran.com/qurandictionary.jsp?q=sHb. There's nothing there that science wouldn't corroborate.

(7:57:12) saḥāban clouds حَتَّىٰ إِذَا أَقَلَّتْ سَحَابًا ثِقَالًا سُقْنَاهُ لِبَلَدٍ مَيِّتٍ فَأَنْزَلْنَا بِهِ الْمَاءَ
(13:12:8) l-saḥāba the clouds هُوَ الَّذِي يُرِيكُمُ الْبَرْقَ خَوْفًا وَطَمَعًا وَيُنْشِئُ السَّحَابَ الثِّقَالَ

the sun is a star formed by the big bang just like all the other stars. And how does this contradict the quran?

the shariah law doesn't make sense to me. It didn't make sense to me, until i took my time to sit with scholars and understand it!
All this stuff was easy to believe 1500 years ago but now? People just built faith from scrap.
Science explained the world, religion is just causing war and messing up my mind. Most of the wars started in the past 60 years have been started by countries that claim to have no state religion. So how is religion causing wars?

If God exists why can't it be proved, it is NOT my fault that I don't believe in GOD, what is the point of sending your message through humans and making them convince people, if you are convinced you go to heaven if not hell. For Heavens sake, you're 15! You haven't even come across those proofs yet. Of course they exist. Study ilm-al-kalaam and learn the proofs, if you want. but to say they dont exist? Nonsense!

As for having to be convinced, Allah has given you free will. You must use it to believe, and if you stubbornly refuse, that is your fault, not Allah's.

I feel soooo horrible writing this, someone please help and convince me that god exists. Study Islam in a traditional setting. That is the only way you will meet real Ulema with real knowledge, who can put your mind at ease.

ps. Hope your exams go well! You seem to be a very inquisitive boy, so i think you should get very good grades
