God is defined to be the Necessary being. In farsi, the word for God (Khuda) in it's root doesn't mean "that which is worthy of worship" or "that which is worshipped" but rather has the meaning "The necessary being".
If it's a necessary being, and must exist, then that would be a reason for it to exist.
Of course, none of this proves a necessary being exists or that God if he exists is necessary or if a creator exist he is necessary.
But Theists define God to exist by necessity.
As it's necessary, they argue, it must posses all existence, perfection, and greatness. The reason being, if it lacked that, it would be a possible being (ie. there is infinite possibilities), but if it's ultimate, then it's the necessary being.
