Learn About Allah, The One and Only God, The Creator and Sustainer of the universe

[nashwan imanway]

Allah: الله Allah is the proper name in Arabic for The One and Only
God, The Creator and Sustainer of the universe. It is used by the Arab
Christians and Jews for the God (Eloh-im in Hebrew; 'Allaha' in
Aramaic, the mother tongue of Jesus, pbuh). The word Allah does not
have a plural or gender. Allah does not have any associate or partner,
and He does not beget nor was He begotten.


The Name Allah was not chosen by man but was revealed and referred to
by all the Prophets (peace be on them). Allah was the God worshipped
by Adam, Noah, Moses, Abraham and all the other Prophets sent by him.


The name “Allah” consists of two parts, “Al” which is the definitive
article in Arabic and “ilah” which means an object to which
subservience, love, reverence, and obedience is shown. Being a
combination of these two parts, “Allah” signifies the one and only
God, the one whom absolute love, reverence and obedience is shown.


One misconception is that Allah is a new or different deity than that
mentioned in the Bible or Torah. However, Arab Christians use this
word too, and instead of the English word "God" it is Allah which is
used in their bible, prayers and daily rituals. In fact, if they did
not know English, they would not know who or what a "God" in the
English sense was, as they are accustomed to the use of “Allah”. Nor
do they use the word "Jesus", but the same word in Arabic for Jesus
which is Isa.


However, the Arab Christians share the same belief about God as other
Christians around the world, i.e. that Jesus was his son and the
incorrect belief in the Trinity. These beliefs are contrary to those
of Islam. As Muslims, we believe that these beliefs are not what Jesus
or Gods message in the Bible were intended to be. Allah is the same
God that Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses and Jesus worshipped. Furthermore,
Islam was the exact same message that was followed and taught by all
the Prophets. And they are far from the erroneous and fabricated
claims that the Christians and Jews make about them.



{No son (or offspring or children) did Allâh beget, nor is there any
ilâh (god) along with Him; (if there had been many gods), behold, each
god would have taken away what he had created, and some would have
tried to overcome others! Glorified be Allâh above all that they
attribute to Him!} [Quran, 23:91]

He is Allaah

The First: Nothing is before Him.
The Last: Nothing is After Him.
The Most High: Nothing is Above Him.
The Most Near: Nothing is beyond His Reach.
He Begets Not, Nor was He Begotten.
The Creator, Provider, and All-Rich.
The All-Seer, The All-Knower.
He is One and Self-Sufficient.
He is not Nature, or any part of it.
He ascended above His Throne, High above the Seven Skies.
No Vision can encompass Him, but
His Grasp is over all vision...

Who is Allah?

[ Say: "He is Allaah, {the} One. "Allaah

us-Samad {self-Sufficient}. "He begets not, nor was He begotten; "And
there is none co-equal or comparable unto Him."] Soorat Al Ikhlaas
{112:1-4}


[ Allaah is He Who has created the heavens and the earth and sends
down water from the sky, and thereby brought forth fruits as provision
for you; and He has made the ships to be of service to you, that they
may sail through the sea by His Command; and He has made rivers {also}
to be of service to you.] Soorat Ibraheem {14:32}



[ And it is He Who spread out the earth, and placed therein firm
mountains and rivers and of every kind of fruits He made Zawjain
Ithnain {two in pairs - may mean two kinds or it may mean: of two
sorts, e.g. black and white, sweet and sour, small and big, etc.} He
brings the night as a cover over the day. Verily, in these things,
there are aayaat {proofs, evidences, lessons, signs, revelation, etc.}
for people who reflect.] Soorat Ar Ra'd {13:3}


[ Allaah is He Who created you, then provided food for you, then will
cause you to die, then {again} He will give you life. Is there any of
your {so-called} partners {of Allaah} that do anything of that? Glory
be to Him! And Exalted be He above all that {evil} they associate
{with Him}.] Soorat Ar Ruum {30:40}


[ And He has made the sun and the moon, both constantly pursuing their
courses, to be of service to you; and He has made the night and the
day, to be of service to you.] Soorat Ibraheem {14:33}


[ And He gave you of all that you asked for, and if you count the
Blessings of Allaah, never will you be able to count them. Verily! Man
is indeed an extreme wrong-doer, - a disbeliever {an extreme ingrate,
denies Allaah's Blessings by disbelief, and by worshipping others
besides Allaah, and by disobeying Allaah and His Prophet Muhammad }.]
Soorat Ibraheem {14:34}


[ See they not that Allaah, Who created the heavens and the earth, is
Able to
create the like of them. And He has decreed for them an appointed
term, whereof
there is not doubt. But the Dhalimeen {polytheists, oppressors,
unjust, and
wrong-doers, etc.} refuse {the truth the Message of Islamic
Monotheism, and
accept nothing} but disbelief.] Soorat Al Israa {17:99}


[ Your Ilah {God} is only Allaah, the One. He has full knowledge of
all things.]
Soorat Ta Ha {20:98}


[ Allaah is the Light of the heavens and the earth. The parable of His
Light is as {if there were} a niche and within it a lamp, the lamp is
in glass, the glass as it were a brilliant star, lit from a blessed
tree, an olive, neither of the East {i.e. neither it gets sun-rays
only in the morning} nor of the West {i.e. nor it gets sunrays only in
the afternoon, but it is exposed to the sun all day long}, whose oil
would almost glow forth {of itself}, though no fire touched it. Light
upon Light! Allaah guides to His Light whom He wills. And Allaah sets
forth parables for mankind, and Allaah is All-Knower of everything.]
Soorat An Nuur {24:35}


[ Allaah is He Who sends the winds, so they raise clouds, and spread
them along the sky as He wills, and then break them into fragments,
until you see rain drops come forth from their midst! Then when He has
made them fall on whom of His slaves as He will, lo! they rejoice!]
Soorat Ar Ruum {30:48}


[ Allaah is He Who created you in {a state of} weakness, then gave you
strength after weakness, then after strength gave {you} weakness and
grey hair. He creates what He wills. And it is He Who is the All-
Knowing, the All-Powerful {i.e. Able to do all things}.] Soorat Ar
Ruum {30:54}


[ Allaah it is He Who has created the heavens and the earth, and all
that is between them in six Days. Then He Istawa {rose over} the
Throne {in a manner that suits His Majesty}. You {mankind} have none,
besides Him, as a Wali or an intercessor. Will you not then remember
{or be admonished}?] Soorat As Sajdah
{32:4}


[ Allaah, it is He Who has made the night for you that you may rest
therein and the day for you to see. Truly, Allaah is full of Bounty to
mankind, yet most of mankind give no thanks.] Soorat Ghaafir {40:61}


[ Allaah, it is He Who has made for you the earth as a dwelling place
and the sky
as a canopy, and has given you shape and made your shapes good
{looking} and
has provided you with good things. That is Allaah, your Lord, then
blessed be
Allaah, the Lord of the 'alameen {mankind and jinns}.] Soorat Ghaafir
{40:64}

sail through it
by His Command, and that you may seek of His Bounty, and that you may
be
thankful,] Soorat Al Jaathiya {45:12}


[ And has subjected to you all that is in the heavens and all that is
in the earth; it
is all as a favour and kindness from Him. Verily, in it are signs for
a people who
think deeply.] Soorat Al Jaathiya {45:13}


[ Do they not see that Allaah, Who created the heavens and the earth,
and was
not wearied by their creation, is Able to give life to the dead? Yes,
He surely is
Able to do all things.] Soorat Al Ahqaaf {46:33}

to be
worshiped but He} the King, the Holy, the One Free from all defects,

Compeller, the
Supreme. Glory be to Allaah! {High is He} above all that they
associate as
partners with Him.] Soorat Al Hashr {59:23}


[ He is Allaah, the Creator, the Inventor of all things, the Bestower
of forms. To
Him belong the Best Names. All that is in the heavens and the earth
glorify Him.

And He is the All-Mighty, the All-Wise.] Soorat Al Hashr {59:24}


[ It is Allaah Who has created seven heavens and of the earth the like
thereof {i.e.
seven}. His Command descends between them {heavens and earth}, that
you may


know that Allaah has power over all things, and that Allaah surrounds


{comprehends} all things in {His} Knowledge.] Soorat At Talaaq {65:12}



[ Allaah! Laa ilaaha illa Huwa {none deserves to be worshiped but He},
the Ever
Living, the One Who sustains and protects all that exists. Neither
slumber, nor

sleep overtake Him. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and
whatever is

on earth. Who is he that can intercede with Him except with His
Permission? He
knows what happens to them {His creatures} in this world, and what
will happen
to them in the Hereafter. And they will never compass anything of His
Knowledge except that which He wills. His Kursi extends over the
heavens and
the earth, and He feels no fatigue in guarding and preserving them.
And He is
the Most High, the Most Great.] Soorat Al Baqarah {2:255}

[ Truly, nothing is hidden from Allaah, in the earth or in the
heavens.

'Imraan {3:5-6}

together on the Day of Resurrection about which there is no doubt. And
who is truer in statement than Allaah?] Soorat An Nisa{4:87}

To Him belong the Best Names.] Soorat Ta Ha {20:8}

worshiped but
Me}, so worship Me, and perform As-Salat for My Remembrance]


Soorat Ta Ha {20:14}


[ And He is Allaah; laa ilaaha illa Huwa {none deserves to be
worshiped but He}.

His is all praise, in the first {i.e. in this world} and in the last
{i.e.in the
Hereafter}. And for Him is the Decision, and to Him shall you {all} be
returned.]


Soorat Al Qasas {28:70}



[ "But as for my part {I believe} that He is Allaah, my Lord and none
shall I


associate as partner with my Lord. It was better for you to say, when
you entered

your garden: "That which Allaah wills {will come to pass}! There is no
power

but with Allaah". If you see me less than you in wealth, and
children.]
Soorat Al Kahf {18:38-39}

joined
to Him as partners. Nay {there are not at all any partners with Him}!

Verily,
He is the All-Mighty, the Oft-Forgiving.] Soorat Az Zumar {39:5}













Your Lord is Allaah, So Worship None But Him




[ "Allaah, your Lord and the Lord of your forefathers."] Soorat As
Saffat {37:126}


[ He created you {all} from a single person {Adam}; then made from him
his wife[Hawwa {Eve}]. And He has sent down for you of cattle eight
pairs {of the sheep,two, male and female; of the goats, two, male and
female; of the oxen, two, male and female; and of the camels, two,
male and female}. He creates you in the
wombs of your mothers, creation after creation in three veils of
darkness, such is

Allaah your Lord. His is the kingdom, laa ilaaha illa Huwa {none
deserves to be
worshiped but He}. How then are you turned away?] Soorat Az Zumar
{39:6}


[ If you disbelieve, then verily, Allaah is not in need of you, He
likes not disbelief
for His slaves. And if you are grateful {by being believers}, He is
pleased therewith for you. No bearer of burdens shall bear the burden
of another. Then to your Lord is your return, so He will inform you
what you used to do. Verily, He is the All-Knower of that which is in
{men's} breasts.] Soorat Az Zumar{39:7}

Israel{saying}: "I have come to you with a sign from your Lord, that I
design for you
out of clay, as it were, the figure of a bird, and breathe into it,
and it becomes a
bird by Allaah's Leave; and I heal him who was born blind, and the
leper, and I
bring the dead to life by Allaah's Leave. And I inform you of what you
eat, and
what you store in your houses. Surely, therein is a sign for you, if
you believe.]
Soorat Aal 'Imraan {3:49}

[ O mankind! Verily, there has come to you the Messenger with the
truth from your Lord, so believe in him, it is better for you. But if
you disbelieve, then certainly to Allaah belongs all that is in the
heavens and the earth. And Allaah is Ever All-Knowing, All-Wise.]
Soorat An Nisaa {4:170}


[ O mankind! Verily, there has come to you a convincing proof from
your Lord, and We sent down to you a manifest light {this Quraan}. So,
as for those who believed in Allaah and held fast to Him, He will
admit them to His Mercy and Grace, and guide them to Himself by a
Straight Path.] Soorat An Nisaa {4:174- 175}

will do so for {the good of} his ownself, and whosoever blinds
himself, will do so to his own harm, and I am not a watcher over you.]
Soorat Al An'aam {6:104}

[ Say: "Come, I will recite what your Lord has prohibited you from:
join not anything in worship with Him; be good and dutiful to your
parents; kill not your children because of poverty - We provide
sustenance for you and for them; come not near to

al-Fawahish {shameful sins, illegal sexual intercourse, etc.} whether
committed openly or secretly, and kill not anyone whom Allaah has
forbidden, except for a just cause {according to Islamic law}. This He
has commanded you that you may understand.] Soorat Al An'aam {6:151}


[ "And come not near to the orphan's property, except to improve it,
until he {or she} attains the age of full strength; and give full
measure and full weight with justice. We burden not any person, but
that which he can bear. And whenever you give your word {i.e. judge
between men or give evidence, etc.}, say the truth even if a near
relative is concerned, and fulfill the covenant of Allaah, This He
commands you, that you may remember."] Soorat Al An'aam {6:152}


[ "And verily, this {i.e. Allaah's Commandments mentioned in the above
twoverses 151 and 152} is my Straight Path, so follow it, and follow
not {other} paths, for they will separate you away from His Path. This
He has ordained for you that you may become al-Muttaqeen {pious and
righteous}."] Soorat Al An'aam {6:153}
