Nazzam as a Mu'tazilite theologian and Kindi qua philosopher have used "argument from creation" in religious debates and their scientific works as a committed Muslim. The history of this argument stems from ancient Greece and has been experiencing fundamental changes to the Nazzam and Kindi’s era. This argument is one of the important arguments for God's existence among theologians, and Kindi's use of this argument does not mean that he is a Mu'tazili. This proof has two aspects, negative and positive, based on the Nazzam's view and has three different versions in Kindi's view. The main issue in this research is what the differences and similarities between these two views are? Is Kindi influenced by Nazzam or are both influenced by a common source? Nazzam’s negative aspects of the argument is similar to one of the Kindi’s three arguments, but the positive aspects of his argument have fundamental differences with Kindi’s. The aim of present research is to find similarities and differences of Nazzam and Kindi’s "arguments from creation" to study how they affect each other.
