Professor Ahmad Rafique Akhtar
A Journey from Doubt to Divine Certainty
Professor Ahmad Rafique Akhtar is a distinguished Muslim scholar of the Modern Era. The enlightenment of his thoughts has heralded the dawn of a new age in the present world.
Due to his acquaintance with books and the intricate queries in his wits, he studied literature, philosophy, mythologies, religion, science, and all contemporary subjects during his student life. His tendency of intensive study led him to think profoundly about God.
“Does God exist or does he not? Am I free or to be accountable in front of an unseen divine force?”
He started the journey of his mental investigation from doubt and denial. For eight years, he dedicated all his struggle to find a single reason to deny the existence of God. His thesis was simple:
if a man commits thousands of mistakes, he remains human; but if we find even one mistake in God, He cannot be God.
All academic research was rendered futile when he found that his efforts led him to the confirmation of the Quran. Consequently, he made God his first and foremost priority.
