Who is Allah?
One, without
equal nor associate the Creator and Sustainer in all Universe.
Belief in Allah is the foundation to the religion of Islam.
GOD is ONE
No human language is good enough
to describe God, for there is nothing else like Him. God’s nature is far
beyond our limited conception. Nevertheless, we do know that He is one.
Allah, the one true God, is not far from us, for He is with us
always. The Quran says:
‘We (God) are nearer to him (man) than his jugular vein’
(Quran 50:16)
Islam is a strictly monotheistic
religion.
The key Surah (Chapter) is the Quran testifies to Islam’s monotheism.
Say : He is Allah, the One!
Allah, the eternally
Besought of all!
He begetteth not nor was
begotten
And there is non comparable unto Him
(Quran 112)
Allah is one, and only He is God.
He is the only one worthy of worship. Allah said,
‘Choose not two Gods. There is only one God.
So of Me, Me be in awe’
(Quran 16:51)
Islam makes it clear that God
has no son, no father, no brother, no wife, no sister and no daughters.
In His unity, God is not like any other person or thing that can come to
anyone’s mind.
His qualities and nature are conspicuously unique.
He
has no associates.
