Concept of God
CONCEPT OF GOD
ISLAM
In Islamic theology, God (Arabic: الله Allah ) is the all-powerful and all-knowing creator, sustainer, designer, and judge of the universe. Islam emphasizes that God is strictly singular (tawḥīd ) unique (wāḥid ) and inherently One (aḥad ), all-merciful and omnipotent. Allah is the term with no plural or gender.
Names and Attributes of God In Islam, there are 99 Names of God (al-asmāʼ al-ḥusná lit. meaning: "The best names") each of which evoke a distinct attribute of God. All these names refer to Allah, the supreme and all-comprehensive divine name.[9] Among the 99 names of God, the most famous and most frequent of these names are "the Compassionate" (al-raḥmān) and "the Merciful" (al-raḥīm).
Oneness Allah
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 Qur'an, which is considered to be the essence of the unity or the motto of monotheism. This is chapter 112, which reads:
“In the name of Allah, 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”.
“God has not taken to Himself any son, nor is there any god with Him: for then each god would have taken of that which he created and some of them would have risen up over others” (23:91).
Merciful
Some non-Muslims claim that God in Islam is a demanding and cruel. God who demands to be obeyed fully and does not love and kind. It is enough to know that, with the exception of one, each of the 114 chapters of the Qur'an begins with the verse “In the name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate". In one of the sayings of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), we are
