Knowledge of God Being Natural

The discussion concerning knowledge of God is normally commenced by theologians with the title “to prove the Creator” and then through some preliminaries the necessity of knowledge of God is raised. Theologians do not treat knowledge of God as something self-evident and needless to prove; rather, they believe that this subject is like other unknown, doubtful things whose knowledge takes place through their representation in the mediated knowledge. However, since representation of God is impossible, they say that knowledge of God is to believe in certainty of His existence through representation of His Wajh (Face) and not Himself calling such a knowledge “Ma’rifa bi’l Wajh”, while the holy Quran and hadiths of the Infallibles treat knowledge of God as something self-evident and natural which simply needs reminding of prophets and saints. The present essay attempts to prove, through Quranic verses and hadiths, that knowledge of God is natural and introduce prophets and saints as reminders of that forgotten blessing.
