Why should I believe in God? (video)

I'd like to share with you this video where Nouman Ali Khan discusses the existence of God.
Feel free to share your opinion based on what you saw in this video.
A teminolgy in this video you might not understand: 'Ruh' is an arabic word for soul.

I gave your video 9:52 seconds. Times up. Tell me why I have to believe in Allah? I hope there's better arguments in there other than "because he's our master and we are his slaves" And I want to touch on his comment about no questioning if Allah exists in the Quran. "Because it's insanity to question the person I'm talking to if they exist because like the camel poop, it's evidence" That sure is camel poop brother. If one is suddenly talking to GOD, it's insane to question if you're talking to God?? That's insane.

"If you truly know yourself, then you know who your Master is."

I can't argue with this.

"This above all: To thine own self be true,"
says Polonius in Hamlet. "And it must follow,
as the night the day, Thou canst not then
be false to any man."

...or to your god.

Knowing one's self is to know your own Authority.
In that knowing, we experience Liberty from False
Authority (in all it's occulted forms).

One form of False Authority is theology.

There is evidence of a Creator in Creation.
Where there is a design, there is a Designer.

However, while we might be talking to this
Supreme Being, it doesn't follow that this
"god" is listening to us.

It is more likely that there are many "gods" and
some of them might even talk back or otherwise
deceive us into thinking they are the Supreme One.

If we are talking to no one and no one is listening
does that mean "prayer" has no value? Some might
draw that conclusion, but they would be wrong.

Faith is real, and beneficial, even if the object
of faith is not.

I think that our CREATOR sent himself to us in LORD JESUS. The FATHER did enough and has enough to do keeping infinity going and whatnot. Lots of stuff to create, you see. OUR ASPECT of CREATOR, LORD JESUS is my SALVOR and SAVIOR.

sovereign power is authority wielded by/through presumption. the same principle as "im white and therefore i am superior".

following that logic, who is gods father and who is his fathers father?

OP. I think you are right that there is a spiritual world. Out side of the Matrix/Illusion.

I just think it transcends religion. Going beyond the physical finding a symbiosis with something more. In it you can find the body bliss. And a feeling of symbiosis, equality and childish love felt thru a link of some kind.

I don't disagree.

Sovereignty is a term reserved for God
and the presumption of Kings. I do not
use this term.

The term I used is Autonomy (which
is the Authority of Self-Knowing).
Anything that would deny or distort
your Autonomy is a False Authority.

...that includes theology regardless
of the "holy book" being quoted.

Most people would define God as the Supreme Being
who has no beginning and no end, like the Universe itself.
With that in mind, I find no logic in your question.

Ideology ("beliefism") = Matrix/Illusion

Our task is to unlearn, let go, and find bliss in being.

Well if you use that kind of logic to prove that God doesn't exist then you need to use the same for the universe. If you accept that the universe has always existed, then why would it be hard to except that God has always existed? No matter how you look at it, either God or the universe has always existed. If God created the universe then God must have always existed since the universe is infinite. If the universe always existed then that means that the universe is God because according to science the universe is still expanding, in other words it's still creating things.
