In this post , I will list 10 Qur'anic points describing atheists , their thinking , some arguments they use , their view towards theists , their secrets , and of course my short experiences with them:
_____________________________________________
- (1) It's all Myths
( 6/25 ) And among them are those who listen to you [O Muhammad], but We have placed over their hearts coverings, lest they understand it, and in their ears deafness. And if they should see every sign, they will not believe in it. Even when they come to you arguing with you, those who disbelieve say, "This is not but legends of the ancients."
( 6/26 ) And they prevent [others] from him and are [themselves] remote from him. And they do not destroy except themselves, but they perceive [it] not.
Collective description , a typical atheist has little understanding of the Qur'an , and a weak reaction hearing it's recitation , a proof on that is simply to try showing the atheist a verse and asking him to explain it , the response you will receive is either a strange meaningless answer or just a complete rejection resulting in the atheist escaping the debate.
I remember asking an atheist to explain verse [2:30] , he said the verse is (probably) speaking about kingdoms , while a 'tafsir-for-dummies' would have told him that the 'khaleefa' is referring to Adam , indicating that atheists tend to refuse the Qur'an even when they have no idea what's written in it !
As a result , the atheist is literally immune from reasoning any sign he will see inside or outside the Qur'an , no matter how much evidence you will throw at him , taking the Qur'an as mythological to justify his point.
Then the Qur'an completes the description as that atheist forces his way out to misguide the others away from the Qur'an like the earth is flat claim , or misguiding away from Muhammad like the age of A'isha (which is a dead horse already) , without realizing he is harming no one except himself.

- (2) I do not believe in a God
أَرَأَيْتَ مَنِ اتَّخَذَ إِلَٰهَهُ هَوَاهُ أَفَأَنتَ تَكُونُ عَلَيْهِ وَكِيلًا
( 25/43 ) Have you seen the one who takes as his god his own desire? Then would you be responsible for him?
As an atheist claims about himself that he disposed all beliefs , he doesn't know that he is still following one of his own , because a human who doesn't have a belief (simply) doesn't exist.
To prove that an atheist is worshiping his own rules , if we told him that God forbid pork , wine and fornication , that will be his reply:
"Why an omniscient God is interested in my personal life ??"
Sadly , he doesn't know the truth:
( 36/60 ) Did I not enjoin upon you, O children of Adam, that you not worship Satan - [for] indeed, he is to you a clear enemy -
( 36/61 ) And that you worship [only] Me? This is a straight path.
( 36/62 ) And he had already led astray from among you much of creation, so did you not use reason?
_____________________________________________
- (3) Your God chose me a Disbeliever
( 6/148 ) Those who associated with Allah will say, "If Allah had willed, we would not have associated [anything] and neither would our fathers, nor would we have prohibited anything." Likewise did those before deny until they tasted Our punishment. Say, "Do you have any knowledge that you can produce for us? You follow not except assumption, and you are not but falsifying."
Of course an atheist will never say that. However , when he assumes the existence of God , that's the first thing that comes in his mind:
"If He is omnipotent , why did He choose me on X religion ?"
So he returns to square one and counters with:
"If your God exists and omnipotent , then He could have made all people believers !!"
....and if he bothered himself to read , he would have known that Allah leaves the choice to believe or disbelieve:
وَقُلِ الْحَقُّ مِن رَّبِّكُمْ ۖ فَمَن شَاءَ فَلْيُؤْمِن وَمَن شَاءَ فَلْيَكْفُرْ
( 18/29 ) And say, "The truth is from your Lord, so whoever wills - let him believe; and whoever wills - let him disbelieve."
Allah then confirms their deviation for making conclusions from pure guessing , and asks them to produce their evidence reaching these conclusions.
An agnostic ex-Christian (who was asking in the Qur'an) made a question similar to that , and to my shock ; not only he admitted knowing the truth about Allah , but also the reason why he doesn't accept to believe:
"God created many people on false religions..... This is not fair !!"
Interestingly , this also has it's answer , but let's focus on the main topic....
_____________________________________________
- (4) God created me homo , so He wanted me homo!
وَإِذَا فَعَلُوا فَاحِشَةً قَالُوا وَجَدْنَا عَلَيْهَا آبَاءَنَا وَاللَّهُ أَمَرَنَا بِهَا ۗ قُلْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَأْمُرُ بِالْفَحْشَاءِ ۖ أَتَقُولُونَ عَلَى اللَّهِ مَا لَا تَعْلَمُونَ
( 7/28 ) And when they commit an immorality, they say, "We found our fathers doing it, and Allah has ordered us to do it." Say, "Indeed, Allah does not order immorality. Do you say about Allah that which you do not know?"
While I do not believe in the third gender myth , this is one of their arguments justifying homosexuality , and (in a stealthy way) to make a contradiction by claiming:
"Why your God creates them gays and forbids homo ??"
We can also derive similar absurd arguments like pork or usury , both are given and forbidden by Allah and are arguments that has literally no weight at all:
وَلَٰكِنَّ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا يَفْتَرُونَ عَلَى اللَّهِ الْكَذِبَ ۖ وَأَكْثَرُهُمْ لَا يَعْقِلُونَ
( 5/103 ) But those who disbelieve invent falsehood about Allah, and most of them do not reason.
_____________________________________________
- (5) What is going to happen ?
أَلَا إِنَّهُمْ فِي مِرْيَةٍ مِّن لِّقَاءِ رَبِّهِمْ ۗ أَلَا إِنَّهُ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ مُّحِيطٌ
( 41/54 ) Unquestionably, they are in doubt about the meeting with their Lord. Unquestionably He is, of all things, encompassing.
The Qur'an shows a brief hint about what the atheist is concerned about , a basic info about atheists is they are almost materialistic , so they are not concerned with what they can not see , but with what they can observe.
i.e. They do not think about Allah , but they are always thinking about death !!
As a normal human , an atheist is surrounded with sudden deaths and funerals , it doesn't only make him uncomfortable .... Nope , it ruins his materialistic life , and kills his false hope of having a long uninterrupted happiness , and only increases his fear from when it will all end.
That's Allah's wisdom from making death as a reminder:
وَمَنْ أَعْرَضَ عَن ذِكْرِي فَإِنَّ لَهُ مَعِيشَةً ضَنكًا وَنَحْشُرُهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ أَعْمَىٰ
( 20/124 ) And whoever turns away from My remembrance - indeed, he will have a depressed life, and We will gather him on the Day of Resurrection blind.
Not only it affects his life , the emotional atheist (like I call him) turns emotional when he remembers those who were close to him , so he changes his reasoning to just imagining what might happen after death , seeking a slight hope that might ease his burden.
Here are 2 samples of that type: Reddit 1 Reddit 2
_____________________________________________
- (6) Know what? There's no Afterlife!
وَقَالُوا مَا هِيَ إِلَّا حَيَاتُنَا الدُّنْيَا نَمُوتُ وَنَحْيَا وَمَا يُهْلِكُنَا إِلَّا الدَّهْرُ ۚ وَمَا لَهُم بِذَٰلِكَ مِنْ عِلْمٍ ۖ إِنْ هُمْ إِلَّا يَظُنُّونَ
( 45/24 ) And they say, "There is not but our worldly life; we die and live, and nothing destroys us except time." And they have of that no knowledge; they are only assuming.
The second type is the arrogant atheist , he denies by all force the Afterlife to remove the idea of Paradise and Hell from his mind , dedicating all his time to enjoy it as long as he can.
However , Allah shows here to not get deceived by confident words , so even when the arrogant atheist talks with 100% certainty that he doesn't believe , the Qur'an exposed his knowledge that he is actually lying to himself !
Example on that atheist is the one whom you ask about death , and he answers:
"Know the nothingness you came from?.... That's where you will go after death!"
Of course , not only he neglected the fact that we have bodies now unlike our first death , but he also doesn't know that we are missing the knowledge of the soul , which Allah made it clear that He intended blocking it's knowledge from us:
وَيَسْأَلُونَكَ عَنِ الرُّوحِ ۖ قُلِ الرُّوحُ مِنْ أَمْرِ رَبِّي وَمَا أُوتِيتُم مِّنَ الْعِلْمِ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا
( 17/85 ) And they ask you, [O Muhammad], about the soul. Say, "The soul is of the affair of my Lord. And mankind have not been given of knowledge except a little."

- (7) My Answer is ....... Evolution!
إِنَّمَا يَخْشَى اللَّهَ مِنْ عِبَادِهِ الْعُلَمَاءُ ۗ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزِيزٌ غَفُورٌ
( 35/28 ) Only those fear Allah, from among His servants, who have knowledge. Indeed, Allah is Exalted in Might and Forgiving.
Of course this verse is talking about the believers , but when we reverse it we find that it refers to atheists to be not knowledgeable , unlike what they claim about themselves .... Why?
Well , comparing someone who spent his life reading in religions and science will not be a fair comparison to someone who only relies on science with a modest knowledge in religions.
Yes , that's the truth , the religious guy has more knowledge than the atheist , but having more knowledge doesn't mean he is smarter , just to be noted.
My point is the atheist clutches to science in a way encouraging him to misuse it horribly just to prove his falsehood , the example I have is the guy who I asked:
"Why do you have a heart ?"
His answer was a random article he googled with the title "Evolution of the Heart from Bacteria!" , and since he was successfully baited , let me show the two mistakes he has done:
- I asked him "why" and not "how" , this proves that his mind was automated to write the answer he memorized in his head , not even understanding what his debater asked about.
- Anyone with some knowledge in biology knows there's a difference between evolution and anatomy , the first is the change of traits along generations while the second is the inner body functions , so instead of answering he confused himself.
Of course I tried to explain to him that he can't answer an anatomy question with evolution , but he insisted on his mistake and boasted that I'm less knowledgeable to understand it , which put me off from continuing:
وَفِي أَنفُسِكُمْ ۚ أَفَلَا تُبْصِرُونَ
( 51/21 ) And in yourselves. Then will you not see?
_____________________________________________
- (8) No , it proves nothing!
( 22/8 ) And of the people is he who disputes about Allah without knowledge or guidance or an enlightening book [from Him],
( 22/9 ) Twisting his neck [in arrogance] to mislead [people] from the way of Allah.
So the atheist doesn't ask the followers of the religion , instead he theorizes an opinion on his own (with his limited information and wrong sources) and thinks he has the truth.
Once his misunderstanding is properly refuted , he will (arrogantly) not accept the evidence , since the atheist doesn't care if he is quarreling on truth or falsehood , but he only cares seeing the Muslim unable to respond , giving him the satisfaction he wants that his opinion about the religion is correct , so he doesn't care to know the truth ; he only wants to see what he wants to see.
Many examples we have like showing the atheist a verse no human (let Muhammad) can write , and he averts to the most redundant ways thinking he is refuting it , or the other atheist who speaks about Allah's characteristics without reading His religion or asking anyone , misleading no one except himself:
( 40/56 ) Indeed, those who dispute concerning the signs of Allah without [any] authority having come to them - there is not within their breasts except pride, [the extent of] which they cannot reach. So seek refuge in Allah. Indeed, it is He who is the Hearing, the Seeing.

- (9) We do it for fun
فَاتَّخَذْتُمُوهُمْ سِخْرِيًّا حَتَّىٰ أَنسَوْكُمْ ذِكْرِي وَكُنتُم مِّنْهُمْ تَضْحَكُونَ
( 23/110 ) But you took them in mockery to the point that they made you forget My remembrance, and you used to laugh at them.
As for the mockery , just look in any atheist sub , 90% of the posts there are "why we hate religions" while the other 10% "world news about why we hate religions" !
A fine example of a guy I saw in the atheism sub writing a post that God is behind people suffering , after the party ended I asked him if he is really an atheist and confirmed he is , so I wondered why someone who doesn't believe in God writes about God with that interest , he said:
"I don't know , I just enjoy doing it !" ........
So I reached a conclusion that these groups are either non-adults having nothing to do , or adults having nothing to do with severe religious-trauma , I couldn't respond:
إِنَّمَا ذَٰلِكُمُ الشَّيْطَانُ يُخَوِّفُ أَوْلِيَاءَهُ فَلَا تَخَافُوهُمْ وَخَافُونِ إِن كُنتُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ
( 3/175 ) That is only Satan who frightens [you] of his supporters. So fear them not, but fear Me, if you are [indeed] believers.
The verse's second part makes believers the reason behind the disbelief of the atheists , of course not blaming the believers , but Allah is marking their behaviour when they mocked them in interesting way.
The problem is the atheist always thinks the believer knows something he doesn't know , making him feel that the believer is superior to him for some reason , so (to recompense) he lurks around religious subs refuting religions (as he imagines) or spends his time in atheism subs having fun mocking these religions , lest he can feel some recovery from his past.
Basically , he forgets the religion in case and all his concern becomes the followers of the religion , confirming the verse.

- (10) Islam is Backward!
۞ لَتُبْلَوُنَّ فِي أَمْوَالِكُمْ وَأَنفُسِكُمْ وَلَتَسْمَعُنَّ مِنَ الَّذِينَ أُوتُوا الْكِتَابَ مِن قَبْلِكُمْ وَمِنَ الَّذِينَ أَشْرَكُوا أَذًى كَثِيرًا ۚ وَإِن تَصْبِرُوا وَتَتَّقُوا فَإِنَّ ذَٰلِكَ مِنْ عَزْمِ الْأُمُورِ
( 3/186 ) You will surely be tested in your possessions and in yourselves. And you will surely hear from those who were given the Scripture before you and from those who associate others with Allah much abuse. But if you are patient and fear Allah - indeed, that is of the matters [worthy] of determination.
This not only describes atheists , it describes the world today.
As evident , many different political/religious factions attack Islam , to the point "islamophobia" became a word in my dictionary !
However , it's wonderful that ALL these groups unite in hating Islam for some reason , but the question is why they bother attacking it if they really believe it to be a false religion ? ...... No , why the Qur'an testified on them before "islamophobia" globalized ?
Not only that , it's testified that they will support anything opposing Muslims , like fake ex-Muslims supporting Zionists in Palestine or the oppression of the Uyghurs:
مَّا يَوَدُّ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ وَلَا الْمُشْرِكِينَ أَن يُنَزَّلَ عَلَيْكُم مِّنْ خَيْرٍ مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ ۗ وَاللَّهُ يَخْتَصُّ بِرَحْمَتِهِ مَن يَشَاءُ ۚ وَاللَّهُ ذُو الْفَضْلِ الْعَظِيمِ
( 2/105 ) Neither those who disbelieve from the People of the Scripture nor the polytheists wish that any good should be sent down to you from your Lord. But Allah selects for His mercy whom He wills, and Allah is the possessor of great bounty.
_____________________________________________
My Personal View
While I have no grudge against atheists , I have no reason to like them either !
When I asked an atheist "why people do not refute the existence of dragons?" he answered that no one will refute a mythology , but when I asked "then why atheists deny Allah if they believe that He doesn't exist?" ...... He changed the topic and didn't answer , because he knew I exposed his truth.
The atheist already knows that Allah exists , but he will never accept nor wants to believe Allah's religion , that's the shocking truth , and if he really doesn't know Allah , then he would never waste his time pursuing Islam to deny Him or His messengers:
( 7/172 ) And [mention] when your Lord took from the children of Adam - from their loins - their descendants and made them testify of themselves, [saying to them], "Am I not your Lord?" They said, "Yes, we have testified." [This] - lest you should say on the day of Resurrection, "Indeed, we were of this unaware."
What I want to say , do not take atheists nonsense about Islam seriously , these people existed since Muhammad (PBUH) received his prophecy , and their existence to this day proves the truth of his message.
As for Islam , there's a God protecting this religion already , so don't get upset for it: Sunnah
However , I encourage you to debate them when you are down for it , not to convert them HaHa (waste of time) , but to take the experience out of them and keep going , their questions/misunderstandings will show you many things you didn't know about Islam.
Not only that , some of them (like ex-Christians) will give you valuable information about their old religions like the church and the Gospel , etc...
But know your limits , always avoid debating them in their places:
( 6/68 ) And when you see those who engage in [offensive] discourse concerning Our verses, then turn away from them until they enter into another conversation. And if Satan should cause you to forget, then do not remain after the reminder with the wrongdoing people.
And remember that the atheist will never listen to you (no matter the evidence) , so look for your benefit out of him , and once you had enough , leave him:
( 2/6 ) Indeed, those who disbelieve - it is all the same for them whether you warn them or do not warn them - they will not believe.
And even if the atheist refused your conclusion , don't hold any sympathy in yourself:
( 5/105 ) O you who have believed, upon you is [responsibility for] yourselves. Those who have gone astray will not harm you when you have been guided. To Allah is you return all together; then He will inform you of what you used to do.
Peace
