Kalam Cosmological Arguments

Hijab’s first book surveys the kalam cosmological argument, the classical case that the universe began to exist and therefore requires a cause beyond itself. He traces the argument’s roots in Islamic scholastic theology, works through its modern formulations, and responds to standard objections drawn from physics and philosophy, including appeals to infinite regress and quantum indeterminacy. Written for readers without formal training, the book doubles as an introduction to how Muslim thinkers approach natural theology and argumentation about God.
