Who is Allah?

AsSalaam Alkuim,


Who is Allah?

Allah is the One who created everyone and everything.
If you pray to anyone or anything other than the Creator, you are praying to a false god. The punishment for that is Hell forever.
It means that Allah is your God when you were in the womb of your mother in the world before this world. He is your God in this world. He is also your God in the next world, on the other side of the grave.


Allah – the Supreme Being of
this universe – revealed the message of truth through the Quran to enable us to
live meaningful lives and to help us succeed in the hereafter. Reflecting on
that message with an open mind and heart has allowed many from mankind to
recognize and believe in Allah as the sole Deity of this universe. Once our
minds clearly know Allah as our Creator and Sustainer, we can better understand
Allah’s rights over us and can also help us to worship Him the way we ought to
worship Him as our Creator. IqraSense.com
Allah is He that whom there
is no other god; who knows all things both secret and open. Allah is Arabic name
for God. Allah is the name He (Allah) uses for himself. Allah is not only used
by Muslims but, is also used to instead of God by Arab Christians, Arab Jews
and Sikhs of  Western Malaysia.
Allah and the name Allah is
unique and for the only Deity, the Creator of the universe. According to the
Islamic belief, Allah is the proper name for the Creator and humble submission
to His will, His ordinances, and commandments is pivot of the Muslims faith.
The reason the name Allah is
more accurate is that Allah is not just a name of God but it is also the
personal name for our Creator. You can say god or lord, but when one says Allah
he is involving the personal name of Allah. By calling Him Allah this
establishes a personal connection and pulls the human being closer to his Lord.


Islamic tradition, there are
99 Names of Allah. Each name being a distinct characteristic of Allah. All the
names refer to Allah the supreme and all comprehensive divine names. Out of the
99 names of Allah the most frequently uses is Ar- Rahman “The Merciful”  Ar-Rahim “The Compassionate”
Even though Allah has 99
attributes He is One. He states this emphatically in Surah Ikhlas (Ch 112):
  1. Say: He is Allah, the
         One and Only;
  2. Allah, the Eternal,
         Absolute;
  3. He begets not, nor is He
         begotten;
  4. And there is none like
         unto Him.

The name Allah is not subject
to plurality. In Arabic, there is no word that is equivalent to the English
term gods. This stresses Islamic monotheism. The term Allah also does not lend
to any gender whatsoever, while in English, you can have gods and goddess. With
Allah this cannot happen.
