At the end of the twentieth century, Schellenberg attempted to construct an argument for the non-existence of God. He notes the necessity of the manifestation of divine love among people, and since many people do not find a manifestation of this love despite their great efforts and would honestly accept it if they found evidence, he concludes that the existence of such non-resistant atheists is a demonstration that such a God does not exist. Many have attempted to challenge the structure of his argument or provide a justification for why God has been hidden himself. However, in this article, in order to evaluate Schellenberg's claim, his presuppositions in his argument are shown and an attempt is made to examine these presuppositions in the context of Islamic thought. This article refers to four of his presuppositions. It is then shown that these four religious presuppositions have no place in Islamic thought for Schellenberg to base his argument on. Consequently, these assumptions cannot be a prelude to Schellenberg's arguments. Thus, the structure of his argument based on Islamic views collapses.
