Dear brother/sister, peace be upon you. Bringing evidence for the truths of faith—that is, explaining religious matters with rational and scriptural proofs—is by no means wrong; on the contrary, it is a method encouraged by the Holy Quran and the Sunnah. Almighty Allah, in the Quran, invites people to reflect upon the evidence in the universe, saying: "Indeed, in the creation of the heavens and the earth and the alternation of the night and the day are signs for those of understanding." (Surah Ali 'Imran, 190) Our Prophet (peace be upon him) also presented verses and explained the truth through rational arguments in his propagation activities. Imam Azam Abu Hanifa, the founder of the Hanafi school, also effectively used arguments of reason and logic in defending the principles of faith (in the science of Kalam). In summary, providing evidence for the truths of faith is both a correct and necessary method to satisfy hearts, dispel doubts, and defend Islam in a beautiful manner. What is important is to act with a sincere intention and a respectful style while presenting these evidences. May Allah the Exalted increase our knowledge and comprehension.
