It seems to me that there is some kind of an "intelligence" unfolding in the universe when I look at the beauty and complexity of the stars, planets, the variety of animals, plants, the human body, and so many other things in the universe. They are like the fingerprints of an intelligent designer even though I don't see Him directly. So, what I'm saying is that the fact that I believe in God doesn't have to mean that this has to be true only after knowing Him.
Complete rubbish! You believe in your god because you were indoctrinated (likely by your parents, who were also indoctrinated when they were children) in Islam when you were a child. Your delusion of an "intelligent designer" is simply a way to justify believing what you have been instructed to believe.
