No More Doubts: Answers to the Skepticisms of Atheists, Deists, and Agnostics is a work by Ömer Faruk Korkmaz that aims to provide Islamic perspectives on fundamental questions raised by anti-religious thought systems. Published by Dirayet Yayınları, the book addresses a broad readership, especially young people, at a time when questioning of faith is increasing.
The book examines core objections raised by belief systems such as atheism, deism, and agnosticism, and offers explanations from an Islamic framework. It is designed to directly and systematically respond to the widespread doubts and questions about faith, particularly among young people. The author treats topics such as the relationship between reason and revelation, the existence of God, the reliability of religions, the problem of evil, evolutionary theory, predestination, hell, and miracles as distinct discussion points.
Critique of Atheism: The book evaluates key claims of the atheist perspective regarding the non-existence of God, particularly under headings such as creation, consciousness, and the order of the universe. The author presents arguments based on fitrah, reason, and ontological evidence for the existence of God.
Deism and the Relationship Between God and Humanity: In response to the deist view that “God exists but does not intervene,” the book provides answers grounded in the Islamic understanding of revelation and the institution of prophethood.
Agnosticism and the Problem of Knowledge: The agnostic claim of “unknowability” is analyzed from an epistemological standpoint. Issues such as the possibility of acquiring knowledge, the source of truth, and the limits of reason are addressed.
Modern Criticisms of Religion: Modern contentious issues such as evolutionary theory, the concept of hell, women’s inheritance and testimony rights, and Islam’s relationship with warfare are examined in separate sections. Responses to these questions are provided in accordance with historical and scholarly sources.
Belief and Revelation: The reliability of the Qur’an, the prophethood of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), and the concept of miracles are explained in response to criticisms. The author argues that revelation is not contrary to reason but rather complements and completes it.
The work is structured in a question-and-answer format. The exposition is instructional and systematic. Concepts are clearly explained, and footnotes and references are used sparingly throughout the text. A guiding, accessible vernacular style is preferred over an academic tone.
Ömer Faruk Korkmaz argues that doubts about faith must be addressed at an intellectual level. Throughout the book, he assumes that there is no inherent conflict between the Islamic belief system and rational thought. When responding to the religious doubts faced by young people, the author carefully employs a persuasive and calm style.
