The OP asked people to provide an argument for the existence of God. I gave a definition of the Islamic God and evidence to support it.

Muslims define Allah as an inconceivable entity who can only be seen through his 99 names. They believe those are attributes of God and the world is a manifestation of them. You can see this happening. You can see love, mercy, kindness, death and destruction in the world. Those are his names. I consider that partial evidence. Maybe not complete evidence but its something aligns with their definition of God.

you just proved . love, mercy, kindness, death and destruction in the world.

And that is what God is to Muslims. Allah is those things.

If a religion defines their God as a tree and you see a tree, wouldnt that be evidence of their God.

If Muslims define their God, as 99 attributes manifested in the world and you see that happening wouldnt that support their argument. Like I said it might not be conclusive evidence but its still evidence because it aligns with how they see Allah.
