Allah is
the personal name of the Creator and Sustainer of all creatures and
everything that exists. Allah is the proper name applied to the only true
Deity Who exists eternally by Himself, comprising all the excellent Divine
names and attributes of perfection. Allah is One and Eternal; He has
neither partner nor 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 existence and self
does not resemble other existences; (There is none like unto Him). He is
the One, the Sole, the Indivisible. He is the Deity without Whom no
affairs are accomplished, and to Whom Lordship ultimately pertains. He
neither begets nor is He begotten. He neither bears any offspring nor is
He borne by anyone. He is not an inherent part of anyone and none is an
in-bred part of Him. All creatures stand in need of Him, but He is in need
of none.
Allah is the Omnipotent, the Omniscient, Whose knowledge
comprehends in the most perfect and fullest manner of all things, hidden
or manifested. But He is far greater and is impossible to be understood 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 Merciful, Whose unbounded 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,
neither does He take aid nor any support from His creatures. He is the
Master of the worlds. Yet, He is nearer to man than man's jugular vein.
Whenever a believer is in need or in distress and calls on Him, He
responds. He is above the Seven Heavens mounting His throne in the manner
which suits His grandeur.
Allah has revealed His final Scripture,
al Qur'an to the last of His Messengers, Muhammad, peace be upon him, to
convey the Message of Islam to mankind. Allah is the Exalted, Glory be to
Him.
