I haven't proven Islam but you haven't proven we don't have knowledge of God and his Oneness for example either.
Somethings are about perception. If we are reminded of certain things, for example, we may perceive ourselves or reality with a perception we would not otherwise done without the reminder.
With the reminder, it's not about asserting this is reality so believe in it, but that we perceive it to be reality or part of reality, through reminder.
For example, angles. I first only new about angles less then 180 degrees. I thought it was impossible to have any angle more then 180 degrees. Till I was shown, what if you think of this as an Angle.
Triangles. We can prove their properties in so much ways now.
So perception, sometimes, is that, it's perception.
We see ourselves all the time. But if we are reminded of important properties of ourselves, that we been believing and seeing, but not really thinking about and really looking at deeply with reflection, then it's not a matter of just asserting but pointing to insights and vision.
