  • a) Outline three ways the design argument confirms the existence of Allah for Muslims. (3) 

    One way the design argument confirms the existence of Allah for Muslims is that the existence of design is proof of an omnipotent designer. Another way is only Allah has the knowledge to design the universe. Another way is the universe has an intricate design that shows planning.

  • a) Outline three characteristics of Allah revealed by the design argument. (3) 

    One characteristic of Allah revealed by the design argument is that He is omnipotent. Another characteristic is that He is benevolent. Another characteristic is that He is omniscient.

  • b) Explain two ways Muslims may use the design argument to show that Allah exists. (4) 

    One way Muslims would use the design argument to show that Allah exists is that only Allah is omniscient and has the knowledge to design such a complex creation. This means that the world is designed too intelligently for anyone else to have designed it. Another way is that only Allah is omnipotent. This means He is the only one who has the power to design and create the world.

  • b) Explain two ways Muslims would respond to non-religious arguments against the design argument. (4) 

    One way Muslims would respond to non-religious arguments against the design argument is that the world is too ordered to have happened randomly. This means that there must be an intelligent designer. Another response is that the world is to elaborate to be the result of random chance. This means there must be an intelligent higher power, and this power is Allah.

  • c) Explain two ways the design argument proves the existence of Allah. SOWA. (5) 

    One way the design argument proves the existence of Allah is the world is too complex to have just happened with design. This means there must be an omnipotent, omniscient being who created it. In the Qur’an it says, ‘We made the night that they may rest therein and the day giving sight’. This means that Everything in the world works together for a purpose. This would only be possible if it was designed by a benevolent being such as Allah.

  • d) “Only Allah could have designed the universe.”
