Belief In One God

Invitation to Understanding Islam

Belief in One God

Belief in One God is the core of Islam.

Mere acceptance that God exists does not make one a Believer.

A Believer accepts God in the way God describes Himself.

The only correct description of God is found in The Noble Quran which contains the exact Words of God.

In The Noble Quran, God uses the personal name of Allah.

The Arabic name “Allah” is gender-free and has no plural.

“There is no other God to be worshipped except Allah” is the most important part of the Muslim’s belief in One God.

Allah is the One and only, independent of all things, has no child or parents and nothing is comparable to Him.

Allah has no partners or associates.

Worshipping Prophets, saints and gods created by men is completely against the concept of belief in One God Who alone deserves all worship.

Allah The Almighty gives the sternest warning in The Noble Quran to those who set up associates with Him.

This is the only sin He will not forgive and Hell is the only place for these persons in the Hereafter.

The Almighty cannot be grasped by the human senses.

Those who depict God as human, semi-human or animal in statues and drawings are committing a major sin.

Belief in One God is belief in The Unseen Creator.

Unlike created things which have a beginning and an end, God existed before the beginning and will remain after the end.

Belief in One God is the belief that God is eternal.

God can create anything out of nothing. For a thing
