What does faith in ‘One God’ mean?
Allah, the Creator and Protector of all beings in the
universe, big and small, in His essence His goodness and his deeds, remains
alone and unique. One offers worship only to Him, who is Almighty, higher than
everyone else and Himself being perfect in everything. By monotheism, Islam
implies, not the mere belief that there is just one God, but it power the way
for prayers and offerings to the one who is all Merciful and Omniscient.
Who is Allah?
The Arabic word ‘Allah’ is the shortened form of ‘al-ilah’,
‘The God, the one and only God, the first, the last, the eternal, the hidden,
the manifest, the ultimate reality’. Even non-Muslim Arabs use the term ‘Allah’
when they speak of God. The basic creed of Islam is this simple formula: ‘There
is no God but Allah’ (‘La ilaha illallah’). The Arabic term ‘Allah’ denoting
God, is unique in many ways. It has no plural like ‘gods’; it has no gender
like ‘godess’; nor does this word generate a visual image of any kind.
"Allah", He is God, the One true God, He is the one who deserves all
worship and there is nothing comparable to him. Nevertheless, ninety-nine
different attributes of Allah are named in the Qur’an.
Who are the angels?
Angels are the servants of God and they were created from
light. They are beyond the realm and reach of human comprehension. They do not
have freedom of action and can only carry out the command of God.
What are the Scriptures?
The Scriptures are the sacred books containing divine revelations
from God which were conveyed through His messengers for the guidance of man.
Prophets were sent to all peoples of all ages, to warn them and guide them to
righteousness and virtue. The names of the four known scriptures are ‘the
Torah’, ‘the Zabur’, ‘the Injeel’ and ‘the Qur’an’. ‘The Torah’ was revealed to
Prophet Moses (Peace be upon him) and it is the greatest among the Israelites
books. The Zabur was revealed to Prophet David (Peace be upon him). ‘The
Injeel’ which Allah revealed to Prophet Jesus (Peace be upon him), is a
confirmation of ‘the Torah’ and a complement to it. The Qur’an, which was
revealed to the last of the prophets, is but a restatement of the faith
delivered to the prophets before him. The more the Qur’an is studied with an unprejudiced
mind, the more this truth emerges, that the Qur’an is a confirmation of all the
earlier scriptures and messages sent by God through His messengers who lived
and preached among various sects of humanity.
Who are the prophets?
Prophets are men, chosen by God at various stages and under
varying circumstances of history, to lead men from darkness to light. The
Qur’an repeatedly states the fact that prophets with the same message were sent
to each and every community. The process of revelation continued unabated,
sometimes in succession, at other times in broken sequences until the period in
history, when the termination of Divine revelation and messengership, with the
Qur’an and Prophet Mohammed (Peace be upon him) became a significant milestone
in the history of mankind. It is true that the lives and mission of many a
prophet has been made obscure and distorted by legends that grew around them or
by people with vested interests, who used the names of these prophets to
exploit men and mislead them from the right faith. No prophet of God has
claimed himself to be divine. They were all mortals who lived and passed away
from this earth after completing their mission of conveying the basic message
to mankind, which was a call for the recognition and affirmation of God’s
existence, uniqueness and Lordship over all creation. It is an integral part of
Islamic faith to believe in all the prophets of God.
