Who is Allah and what is Monotheism?


AssalamuAlaikum Brothers and Sisters

It is a very important question who is Allah?
It conflicts from different religions but in Islam, Allah told us in Quraan from Surah Ikhlas what Allah is and what Allah is not.
Surah Ikhlas chapter 112 of the Holy Qur’an is a short declaration of Taheed which says:
Image result for surah ikhlas

"Qul hu allah hu ahad" – Say He is Allah, The One and Only (He is one in worthiness to be worshipped. That is, He is the Worshipped Being {ma‘bud} who is unique in everything).

"Allah hus Samad" – Allah, The Eternal, Absolute (He is everlasting without any doubt.“Samad” means impenetrable, indestructible and unchangeable).

"Lam ya lid wa lam yulad" – He did not give birth, nor was He born (He is neither in anything nor is anything in Him. His relationship with things is not like that of a parent to his child. It is rather the relationship of the Creator {khaliq} with the creature {makhluq}).

"Walam ya qul laho kuffuan ahad"  – And there is none like unto Him (He has no equal in being, perfection and action.He is One and no one is similar to Him. He has no equal to be His assistant and partner).

"Say, ‘He is Allah, The One and Only; Allah, The Eternal, Absolute; He did not give birth, nor was he born and there is none like unto Him."
[Al-Qur’an 112:1-4]

It is the test if any person who says He is The God, fits in this four lines definition, we Muslims have got no objections in accepting that person entitled to be called God and worshipped as God.
"So it is clear the moment you compare the God with something or somebody that means He is not a God."

 What is Monotheism??
Monotheism has been defined as the belief in the existence of only one god that created the world, is all-powerful and intervenes in the world.
A broader definition of monotheism is the belief in one god worship, having no partners no associates, no sons no daughters, no one whom he must consult and no one or anything.

In Islam, God (Allāh) is all-powerful and all-knowing, the creator, sustainer, ordainer and judge of the universe.
God in Islam is strictly singular (tawhid) unique (Wahid) and inherently One (Ahad), all-merciful and omnipotent.

Allāh exists without a place and the Qur'an states that "No vision can grasp Him, but His grasp is over all vision. God is above all comprehension, yet is acquainted with all things" (Qur'an 6:103)

The Islamic Creed is, "La illaha illallah Muhammadur Rasoolullah", which means that there is no god but Allah, and Prophet Muhammad (SAW) is the messenger of Allah.

So, Verify the Gods you worship.
Now this article has explained to you how to verify your God and it is the duty of everyone to verify with this 4 lines definition of God, whether the Gods that they worship are true or false.

JazakAllah Khair

The virtue of saying: Subhaan-Allaahi wa bihamdihi, & Subhan-Allaahil-Azeem

Assalamualaikum Wr. Wb. Brothers and Sisters Dhikr meaning “Remembrance” is the devotional act in Islam in which short Duas and prayers are recited repeatedly to remember Allah (SWT). Dhikr is a very powerful and simple way to worship Allah (SWT) when we have a lack of time, which carries many benefits and virtues. Allah Almighty says in the Holy Quran: “O you who believe! Remember Allah with much remembrance” (Quran 33:41). Many of us search for the ways that we can use to earn the rewards from Almighty Allah. We fast in the month of Ramadan with sincerity, we offer our daily prayers, give charity and always try to become a better person than before. Here is a simple phrase to earn huge rewards for the pleasure of Allah. Try to recite “Subhan Allah Wa Bihamdihi, Subhan Allahhil Azeem” as much as you can. Of course, this does not mean that you should leave obligatory acts of worship and stick to just saying Subhan Allah Wa Bihamdihi, Subhan Allahhil Azeem (or other dhikr)....

SABAR ( صبر)

Assalamualaikum Brothers and Sisters Why always me? Why just me? Why not others? Why am I always targetted to have all the sufferings!!  These kinds of questions come in our mind when we are in a hard  situation of our life. We get worried or start cursing ourselves even if something happens accidentally. What is Patience (Sabr) Patience is to hold one’s soul from being impatient and displeased, holding the tongue from complaining and the body parts from harming himself or others. The word (sabr) patience in the Quran and Sunnah of the beloved Prophet (PBUH) is mentioned at many times, which indicates the importance of patience. Sabr can be achieved by ➭obeying Allah by carrying out all sort of good deeds and acts of worship. ➭not committing the sins and evil deeds. ➭Showing patience on the trials and tribulations that decreed for us from Almighty Allah.  TRUST IN ALLAH: We admit the supremacy of Allah Almighty, we put our trust on Him a...

First woman worrier in Islam - Nusaybah Binte Ka'ab

Image
AssalamuAlaikum Brothers and Sisters, We all know prior to Islam, a woman was regarded by her parents as a threat to family honor and hence worthy of burial alive at infancy. As an adult, she was a sex object that could be bought, sold and inherited. From this position of inferiority and legal incapacity, Islam raised women to a position of influence and prestige in family and society. Islam gave the woman an independent identity and declared that her moral and spiritual gains depend solely on her own performance. Like man, her ultimate failure or success rests on her own beliefs, attitude, behaviour and conduct. She is responsible for being in her own right and carries the burden of her moral and spiritual obligations. Nusaybah Bint ka'ab Al Maziniyyah or Umm-amarah  was one of those who embraced Islam with unbelievable strength. She was one of the early women to convert to Islam. She was one of the companions of Prophet Muhammad (SAW) History does not tell us much abo...
