This is not the > case with Allah. Allah is the personal name of the One true God. Nothing > else can be called Allah. The term has no plural or gender. This shows its > uniqueness when compared with the word god which can be made plural, gods, > or feminine, goddess. It is interesting to notice that Allah is the personal > name of God in Aramaic, the language of Jesus and a sister language of > Arabic. > The One true God is a reflection of the unique concept that Islam > associates with God. To a Muslim, Allah is the Almighty, Creator and > Sustainer of the universe, Who is similar to nothing and nothing is > comparable to Him. The Prophet Muhammad was asked by his contemporaries > about Allah; the answer came directly from God Himself in the form of a > short chapter of the Quran, which is considered the essence of the unity or > the motto of monotheism. This is chapter 112 which reads: "In the name of > God, the Merciful, the Compassionate. > Say (O Muhammad) He is God the One God, the Everlasting Refuge, who has not > begotten, nor has been begotten, and equal to Him is not anyone."Some > non-Muslims allege that God in Islam is a stern and cruel God who demands to > be obeyed fully. He is not loving and kind. Nothing can be farther from > truth than this allegation. It is enough to know that, with the exception of > one, each of the 114 chapters of the Quran begins with the verse: "In the > name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate." In one of the sayings of > Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) we are told that "God is more loving and kinder than > a mother to her dear child."But God is also Just. Hence evildoers and > sinners must have their share of punishment and the virtuous, His bounties > and favors. Actually God's attribute of Mercy has full manifestation in His > attribute of Justice. People suffering throughout their lives for His sake > and people oppressing and exploiting other people all their lives should not > receive similar treatment from their Lord. Expecting similar treatment for > them will amount to negating the very belief in the accountability of man in > the Hereafter and thereby negating all the incentives for a moral and > virtuous life in this world. The following Quranic verses are very clear and > straightforward in this respect:"Verily, for the Righteous are gardens of > Delight, in the Presence of their Lord. Shall We then treat the people of > Faith like the people of Sin? What is the matter with you? How judge you?" > (68:34-36) > ------------------------------ > > Islam rejects characterizing God in any human form or depicting Him as > favoring certain individuals or nations on the basis of wealth, power or > race. He created the human beings as equals. They may distinguish themselves > and get His favor through virtue and piety only.The concept that God > rested in the seventh day of creation, that God wrestled with one of His > soldiers, that God is an envious plotter against mankind, or that God is > incarnate in any human being are considered blasphemy from the Islamic point > of view.The unique usage of Allah as a personal name of God is a > reflection of Islam's emphasis on the purity of the belief in God which is > the essence of the message of all God's messengers. Because of this, Islam > considers associating any deity or personality with God as a deadly sin > which God will never forgive, despite the fact He may forgive all other > sins.[Note that what is meant above applies ONLY to those people who die > in a state wherein they are associating others with God. The repentance of > those who yet live is acceptable to God if He wills. - MSA of USC]The > Creator must be of a different nature from the things created because if he > is of the same nature as they are, he will be temporal and will therefore > need a maker. It follows that nothing is like Him. If the maker is not > temporal, then he must be eternal. But if he is eternal, he cannot be > caused, and if nothing outside him causes him to continue to exist, which > means that he must be self-sufficient. And if the does not depend on > anything for the continuance of his own existence, then this existence can > have no end. The Creator is therefore eternal and everlasting: "He is the > First and the Last." He is Self-Sufficient or Self-Subsistent or, to use a > Quranic term, Al-Qayyum. The Creator does not create only in the sense of > bringing things into being, He also preserves them and takes them out of > existence and is the ultimate cause of whatever happens to them.*"God is > the Creator of everything.

(37:95)**"Or have you taken unto you others beside Him > to be your protectors, even such as have no power either for good or for > harm to themselves?" (13:16)*To the worshippers of heavenly bodies it > cites the story of Abraham:*"When night outspread over him he saw a star > and said, 'This is my Lord.' But when it set he said, 'I love not the > setters.' When he saw the moon rising, he said, 'This is my Lord.' But when > it set he said, 'If my Lord does not guide me I shall surely be of the > people gone astray.' When he saw the sun rising, he said, 'This is my Lord; > this is greater.' But when it set he said, 'O my people, surely I quit that > which you associate, I have turned my face to Him Who originated the heavens > and the earth; a man of pure faith, I am not of the idolaters.'" (6:76-79) > * > > ***The Believer's Attitude * > **In order to be a Muslim, i.e., to surrender oneself to God, it is > necessary to believe in the oneness of God, in the sense of His being the > only Creator, Preserver, Nourisher, etc. But this belief - later on called > "Tawhid Ar-Rububiyyah" - is not enough. Many of the idolaters knew and > believed that only the Supreme God could do all this, but that was not > enough to make them Muslims. To tawhid ar-rububiyyah one must add tawhid > al'uluhiyyah, i.e., one acknowledges the fact that is God alone Who deserves > to be worshipped, and thus abstains from worshipping any other thing or > being.Having achieved this knowledge of the one true God, man should > constantly have faith in Him, and should allow nothing to induce him to deny > truth.When faith enters a person's heart, it causes certain mental states > which result in certain actions. Taken together these mental states and > actions are the proof for the true faith. The Prophet said, "Faith is that > which resides firmly in the heart and which is proved by deeds." Foremost > among those mental states is the feeling of gratitude towards God which > could be said to be the essence of 'ibada' (worship).The feeling of > gratitude is so important that a non-believer is called 'kafir' which means > 'one who denies a truth' and also 'one who is ungrateful.'A believer > loves, and is grateful to God for the bounties He bestowed upon him, but > being aware of the fact that his good deeds, whether mental or physical, are > far from being commensurate with Divine favors, he is always anxious lest > God should punish him, here or in the Hereafter. He, therefore, fears Him, > surrenders himself to Him and serves Him with great humility. One cannot be > in such a mental state without being almost all the time mindful of God. > Remembering God is thus the life force of faith, without which it fades and > withers away. The Quran tries to promote this feeling of gratitude by > repeating the attributes of God very frequently. We find most of these > attributes mentioned together in the following verses of the Quran:*"He is > God; there is no god but He, He is the Knower of the unseen and the visible; > He is the All-Merciful, the All-Compassionate. He is God, there is no God > but He. He is the King, the All-Holy, the All-Peace, the Guardian of Faith, > the All-Preserver, the All-Mighty, the All-Compeller, the All-Sublime. Glory > be to God, above that they associate! He is God the Creator, the Maker, the > Shaper. To Him belong the Names Most Beautiful. All that is in the heavens > and the earth magnifies Him; He is the All-Mighty, the All-Wise." (59:22-24) > **"There is no god but He, the Living, the Everlasting. Slumber seizes Him > not, neither sleep; to Him belongs all that is in the heavens and the earth. > Who is there that shall intercede with Him save by His leave? He knows what > lies before them and what is after them, and they comprehend not anything of > His knowledge save such as He wills. His throne comprises the heavens and > earth; the preserving of them oppresses Him not; He is the All-High, the > All-Glorious." (2:255)**"People of the Book, go not beyond the bounds in > your religion, and say not as to God but the truth. The Messiah, Jesus son > of Mary, was only the Messenger of God, and His Word that He committed to > Mary, and a Spirit from Him. So believe in God and His Messengers, and say > not, 'Three.' Refrain; better is it for you. God is only one God. Glory be > to Him - (He is) above having a son."
