Allah
is the proper name applied to the only true God Who exists
necessarily by Himself, comprising all the excellent Divine
names and attirbutes of perfection. Allah is One and Unique;
He has no partner or equal. He is the sole Creator and sustainer
of the universe. Every creature bears witness to His Oneness.
Divinity, Lordship and the uniqueness of His attributes
and names. Allah's essence does not resemble other essences;
" There is none like unto Him ". He is the One, the Sole,
the Indivisible. He is the God without Whom no affairs are
accomplished, and to Whom Lordship ultimately pertains.
He neither begets nor is begotten. He does not inhere in
anything, nor does anything inhere in Him. All creatures
stand in need of Him, but He stands in need of none.
Allah
is the Omnipotent, the Omniscient, Whose knowledge comprehends
in the most perfect manner all things, hidden or manifested.
But He is far greater than to be encompassed by the knowledge
of His creatures. Allah the Supreme is the Creator of everything,
for He has a free hand in the disposal of all affairs. He
is the most Mercifuln Whose unhounded mercy encompasses everything.
He is far removed from injustice and tyranny. Allah's justice
ensures order in the universe, which has no defect. There
is no one to share His domain, nor does He take aid or support
from His creatures. He is the God of the worlds. Yet, He is
nearer to man than man's jugular vein. Whenever a believer
in need or distress calls on Him, He responds. He is above
the Seven Heavens mounting His throne is the manner which
suits His grandure.
Allah
has revealed His final Scripture, al-Qur'an to the last of
His Messengers, Muhammad, peace be on him, to convey the Message
of Islam to mankind. He is the Exalted Allah; Glory be to
Him.
