The article sets out the question of God from the starting point of Heidegger's criticism of metaphysics. In the first place, the derivative character of the fundamentally causal, logical procedure is presented in order to then show that, according to Heidegger, the true fundamental that has been hidden, resulting in this way in ontic fundamentation, is Being itself (abyss) that, manifested as such, annuls the questioning "Why?" From there the Supreme Being, First Cause, that onto-theo-logical metaphysics has identified with God, is criticized. God is presented in His divinity, according to Heidegger, in the first place in the word of Holderlin, where the Quartet-being, with his Divine beings, points towards that God, which thus appears beyond such a Quartet-being. Thinking then has as its own task the following of that poetic language. The poet as much as the thinker of the being that climbs to the Ereignis, and the thinker that thinks of following poetry, finish in silence. In such a silence, preceded by "unnamed names", none other than the divine God is made present, the "true" God according to Heidegger.
