The answer

Age is an influential factor in reading, awareness, and reception, but it is not the only one, as there are other factors such as cultural level and scientific background. The concept of atheism has expanded to include the denial of religions and divine messages.

Among the easiest books addressing the issue of denying the Creator is "The Existence of God" by Dr. Yusuf al-Qaradawi. Among the useful websites is "Baraheen Website."

There are profound and important books such as "The Great News: New Perspectives on the Quran" by Dr. Muhammad Abdullah Daraz, which not only proves the existence of the Creator but also introduces the Creator through knowing His words and the Quran, and contains proofs that the Quran is the word of God.

For books on jurisprudence, please refer to Fatwa No. 121056.
