Why were we created and where are we going? Any level of pondering over our existence ultimately leads to the question of believing in a higher power. In Islam, tawheed, believing in the oneness of God, can not only inform our moral actions, but is an entire worldview that shapes every facet of our lives.

Sh. Mohammad Elshinawy joins Imam Tom Facchine to unpack the arguments for the existence of God, from believing in a higher power versus nothing, to the existence of one God versus multiple, and finally, the existence of Allah versus a deistic god.
