There is only one God. Yet, many people worship
different God. Some worship the Sun as their God.
Others worship the Father, the Son, etc. There is also
some people that worship Allah alone.
So, who is the true God according to Islam? What is
His attributes? We know little about God. Yet, in the
Quran, God explains His characteristics as follow:
God, the All Wise Creator
According to Islam, God is the Creator of All:
“The Originator of the heavens and the earth! When
He decreeth a thing, He saith unto it only: Be! and it
is.” [Quran 2:117]
Lo! the likeness of Jesus with Allah is as the
likeness of Adam. He created him of dust, then He said
unto him: Be! and he is.” [Quran 3:59]
“Say : Is there of your partners (whom ye ascribe
unto Allah) one that produceth Creation and then
reproduceth it? Say: Allah produceth creation, then
reproduceth it. How then, are ye misled!” [Quran
10:34]
God the Owner of Heaven, Earth, and Their Contents
God owns everything in Earth, Heaven, and in between:
They indeed have disbelieved who say: Lo! Allah is the
Messiah, son of Mary. Say : Who then can do aught
against Allah, if He had willed to destroy the Messiah
son of Mary, and his mother and everyone on earth?
Allah's is the Sovereignty of the heavens and the
earth and all that is between them. He createth what
He will. And Allah is Able to do all things” [Quran
5:17]
God is the First and the Last
God already exists before anything exist. God also
will keep exist when everything is dead or destroyed.
”He is the First and the Last, and the
Outward and the Inward; and He is Knower of all
things.” [Quran 57:3]
Therefore it would be inappropriate if God was born
when other creatures already exist and died when
“His” creatures still exist. If there is a
“God” like that, then he is not God at all. But
only a creature of the true God!
God is one, namely: Allah
There is only one God: Allah
“They surely disbelieve who say: Lo! Allah is the
third of three; when there is no God save the One God.
If they desist not from so saying a painful doom will
fall on those of them who disbelieve.” [Quran 5:73]
Allah has no Partner
“Say (O Muhammad): Who is Lord of the heaven and the
earth?
Say: Allah! Say: Take ye then (others) beside Him for
protectors, which, even for themselves, have neither
benefit nor hurt?
Say: Is the blind man equal to the seer, or is
darkness equal to light? Or assign they unto Allah
partners Who created the like of His creation so that
the creation (which they made and His creation)
seemed alike to them? Say: Allah is the Creator of all
things, and He is the One, the Almighty.” [Quran
13:16]
“And say: Praise be to Allah, Who hath not taken
unto Himself a son, and Who hath no partner in the
Sovereignty, nor hath He any protecting friend
through dependence. And magnify Him with all
magnificence.” [Quran 17:111]
Allah has no Child nor Partner
“Allah hath not chosen any son, nor is there any God
along with Him; else would each God have assuredly
championed that which he created, and some of them
would assuredly have overcome others. Glorified be
Allah above all that they allege.” [Quran 23:91]
“And nothing compares to Him.” [Quran 112:4]
Allah Knows All
Allah knows all even the invisible, a falling leaf, or
a grain in the darkness.
And with Him are the keys of the invisible. None but
He knoweth them. And He knoweth what is in the land
and the sea. Not a leaf falleth but He knoweth it, not
a grain amid the darkness of the earth, naught of wet
or dry but (it is noted) in a clear record.” [Quran
6:59]
Allah the Most Powerful
Allah is the Almighty. Sometimes we are amaze of the
greatness of some people. Yet their power is not
everlasting. The great people such as Genghis Khan,
Hitler, and Roosevelt were dead in the hand of Allah,
the Creator, the Most Powerful, and the executioner.
If He will, He can remove you, O people, and produce
others in your stead. Allah is Able to do that.”
[Quran 4:133]
“Yet they choose beside Him other gods who create
naught but are themselves created, and possess not
hurt nor profit for themselves, and possess not the
dead nor life, nor power to raise the dead.” [Quran
25:3]
In a hadeeth told that when all creatures such as
human, genie, and angels are put to death, Allah says
“I am King of the Kings. Where are arrogant people
who used to claim themselves a God? Where are arrogant
people who used to claim themselves a King?” At that
time, only Allah lives and the Most Powerful.
Allah the Great Controller
Sometimes we see the bridges that were designed by
experts and built by hundreds of workers with strong
pillars fall down instantly. Or the air traffic that
controlled by radar, air controller, pilot, and
co-pilot, yet the accidents happen every year.
But we never see the sky which is pillar-less fall
down into the Earth. The Sun never bump into the Moon
or the Earth though they revolve for billions of
years.
That is the proof that the order happens because there
is a Great Controller: Allah!
“Allah it is who raised up the heavens without
visible supports, then mounted the Throne, and
compelled the sun and the moon to be of service, each
runneth unto an appointed term; He ordereth the
course; He detaileth the revelations, that haply ye
may be certain of the meeting with your Lord.”
[Quran 13:2]
Allah the Giver Gives All to Mankind
Who gives you your body, life, parent, friends, air to
breath, water to drink, the Earth, etc?
People who sick will know how expensive is the heart,
kidney, eyes, etc. Millions of dollar could be spend
to by those things and the operation.
We have to buy drinking water. If we want to do the
diving, we have to buy air to breath expensively. Yet,
Allah gives those things and many others to us for
free!
“Who hath appointed the earth a resting-place for
you, and the sky a canopy; and causeth water to pour
down from the sky, thereby producing fruits as food
for you. And do not set up rivals to Allah when ye
know (better).” [Quran 2:22]
“Lo! in the creation of the heavens and the earth,
and the difference of night and day, and the ships
which run upon the sea with that which is of use to
men, and the water which Allah sendeth down from the
sky, thereby reviving the earth after its death, and
dispersing all kinds of beasts
therein, and (in) the ordinance of the winds, and the
clouds obedient between heaven and earth: are signs
(of Allah's sovereignty) for people who have sense.”
[Quran 2:164 If you try to count what Allah
gives you, you will not be able to do it.
”If ye would count the favor of Allah ye cannot
reckon it. Lo! Allah is indeed Forgiving, Merciful.”
[Quran 16:18]
So, thank God, and worship Him.
Those are some characteristics of God in Islam. We
hope we could understand who is the real God better.
