Abstract
Ahmed Ziyauddin GumuşhanevT, who lived in the 19th century, is one of the major Sufis. In this paper, we try to examine his views on knowing God’s existence. According to the divine religions, it is possible for human being to know God’s existence; because such an ability has been given to him by in his creation. Because of the fact that, getting the knowledge God’s existence has a great importance in the thought of philosophers, theologians and Sufis, as well, they claim that God can be known either by reason, sense-data or by intuition and try to explain how it is so. Gumuşhanevi holds that reason can acquire the knowledge of God’s existence by using the signs in the universe. But, for him only reason can’t get that knowledge properly. God can be known by the help of heart, which is called sixth sense, in a proper sense
