Who is Allah?



 

One of the main beauties of Islam is that it acknowledges the complete perfection, greatness and uniqueness of Allah with absolutely no compromises.

  • Allah is One & Unique and has no rivals, partners or sons.
  • Allah is Worthy of All Worship – directly & exclusively (no intermediaries).
  • Allah is Perfect & Flawless – No limitations or weaknesses.
  • Allah is the Most Merciful – He knows we are imperfect and commit sins, however the key is to always acknowledge our mistakes and to sincerely ask for forgiveness.
  • No part of Allah is present in His creation nor do others share in His divine attributes.

When trying to understand the concept of God in Islam, it is important to discuss the status of Jesus, given the widespread confusion and claims about his nature.

Islam acknowledges Jesus as an honourable Prophet and Messenger of God, but Muslims do not worship him – as worship is for God alone Who created Jesus and everything that exists. As such, the belief of Jesus as God, or the son of God, or part of a trinity, clearly contradicts the pure teachings of God in Islam.
