In Islam, this Force is known as Allah Almighty, the true and
one-and-only-one God of Creation. The term Allah has no plural
or gender. This is its uniqueness when compared with the word
'god' used by many other religions that can be made into the
plural or feminine forms, gods and goddess respectively.
Belief in Almighty Allah is the core tenet of Islamic teachings.
Allah is the Almighty, Creator and Sustainer of the Universe,
who is similar to nothing and nothing is comparable to Him. This
He explicitly states in the Qur'an:
"…. There is nothing whatever like unto
Him, and He is the One that hears and sees (all things)." [Ash-Shoora:
11]
Islam does
not cause confusion to the believer concerning Allah. Allah is
one in Islam. Allah has no son or father. Allah has no parallel
or equal.
According to Islam Jesus is not the son of Allah. Jesus is
Allah's apostle. So is Moses. So is Muhammad (Peace be Upon
Them.) So are all Prophets and Apostles. Allah has no son or
sons.
To believe that God is unique, and vastly superior to his
creation, and yet has a son is inconsistent. This lowers God to
human carnal level.
In Islam, there is no mediation between Allah and Men. You
do not need to go to a priest, to confess or repent to him. In
Islam, every Muslim has a direct contacts with Allah, no matter
how weak, poor, or ignorant he is. In Islam, Allah is the God of
all. Every Muslim decides by himself how near or how far he
wants to be from God, depending on his free will and deeds. In
Islam, there are no mediators between Man and Allah. |
