Abstract
In this article, we have tried to shed light on all important aspects of the innate recognition of God. After dealing with the subject historically, and looking into its evolution over ages, we study it from the viewpoint of religious texts and discuss the cognitive value of this kind of knowledge and different works by Muslim and western scholars on the existence of God, beside the objections aroused against them. According to the findings of this article, Western reports on the demonstration of nature suffer from some cognitive problems that Muslim thinkers have dealt with, studied them thoroughly, and then, offered studies without them. Thus, one can keep to nature as a way to knowing God and proving His existence.
