According
to Islamic belief, the word “Allah” is the perfect description of the
“One God” of monotheism .Humble submission to His Will, Divine
Ordinances and Commandments is the pivot of the Muslim faith. “He is the
only God, creator of the universe, and the judge of humankind.”,”He is
unique and inherently one, all-merciful and omnipotent.” The Qur’an
declares “the reality of Allah, His inaccessible mystery, His various
names, and His actions on behalf of His creatures.”
In Islamic tradition, there are 99 Names of God “The best names”, each of which evoke a distinct characteristic of Allah.
All
these names refer to Allah, the supreme and all-comprehensive divine
name. Among the 99 names of God, the most famous and most frequent of
these names are “the Merciful” and “the Compassionate” Allah has sent
down miracles, revelations and messengers to give clear proofs He exists
and more important, what we should do once we come to this realization.
Allah
has sent prophets and messengers with many proofs throughout the ages
for people to be able to clearly see with their own eyes and to be able
to use their own senses the miracles and proofs pointing to the fact,
Allah does in fact, exist.
Some
other religions teach “God is everywhere.” This is actually called
“pantheism” and it is the opposite of our belief system in Islam. Allah
tells us clearly there is nothing, anywhere in the universe like Him
similar to his likeness, nor is He ever in His creation.
Allah tells us “Allah is capable of doing anything He Wills to do.” It
should be noted in Islam we understand Allah never Wills to do anything
that would make Him no longer be Allah. That is to say, He would never
die as this would mean He is no longer “The Eternally Alive” (one of His
characteristics mentioned in the Holy Quran).
He created us for the purpose of worshiping Him, Alone and without any partners.
Allah tells us He is Pure, Loving, and absolutely Just in every
respect. He says He is the Best of Judges. He also tells us the life we
are in here is a test. He has created everything existing and He created
whatever happens as well. There is nothing in this existence except
what He has created. He also says in the Quran He created evil (although
He is not evil). He is using this as one of the many tests for us.
All
religions originated with Allah and then people began to add or take
away from the teachings so as to take control over each other.
Allah
does not force anyone to submit to Him. He has laid out a clear path
and then made it known to them the two ways (Heaven or Hell). The person
is always free to make his or her own choice.
Allah = Has no gender (not male and not female) “He” is used only out of respect and dignity – not for gender Allah = Always singular – Never plural “We” is used only as the “Royal WE” just as in English for royalty Allah = Means “The Only One to be Worshipped”
