The Mission of Argument of Order; Proofing Existence or Attributes of God

Many of the Western theists consider the argument of Order not practical for proving the existence of God, however the majority of the Islamic philosophers and theologians have not used it to prove the existence of God, rather they have mentioned its mission to only prove some of the Divine Attributes. This research has done its studies regarding various arguments in terms of the mission of argument of Order and tries to answer these questions: Is the argument of Order responsible to prove the existence of God or some of His attributes? Or is it the only convincing argument that plays a major role in elevating the faith of a believer? Is this argument results in certainty in proving God’s existence? How functional it is in proving some of God’s attributes? The outcome of the research indicates that despite of Islamic scholars using this argument to prove some of God’s attributes, and still some of the western critics consider it as being unpractical for such matter, still the different exposition of this argument is capable of proving God’s existence although it may not result in logical certainty, still it can bring about subjective certainty.
