\viewkind4\uc1\pard\ltrpar\fi720\sl276\slmult1\lang1033\f0\fs28 Consciousness and perception, which are intertwined with man's very being, by their very nature make evident the existence of God and the world. For, contrary to those who express doubt about their own existence (as well as everything else) and consider the world to be mere illusion and fantasy, we know that a human being, at the moment of his coming into existence, when he is already conscious and possesses perception, discovers himself and the world. That is to say, he has no doubt that 'he exists and things other than he exist.' As long as man is man this comprehension and knowledge exist within him and cannot be doubted, nor do they undergo any change.
\par The perception of this reality and existence which man affirms through his intelligence, in opposition to the views of the sophist and skeptic, is immutable and can never be proven false. That is to say, the claim of the sophist and the skeptic which negates reality can never be true because of man's very existence. There is within the immense world of existence a permanent and abiding reality which pervades it and which reveals itself to the intelligence.
\par Yet each of the phenomena of this world which possess the reality that we discover as conscious and perceiving human beings loses its reality sooner or later and becomes nonexistent. From this fact itself it is evident that the visible world and its parts are not the essence of reality (which can never be obliterated or destroyed). Rather, they rely upon a permanent Reality through which they gain reality and by means of which they enter into existence. As long as they are connected and attached to it, they possess existence, and as soon as they are cut off from it, they become nonexistent. We call this Immutable Reality, that is, the Necessary Being which is imperishable, God. This reason does not need for proving the neccessity of God, anything but God and brings you directly to him. This reason is called the proof of the righteous (burhan al-siddiqin) by the Islamic philosophers.
