CONCEPT OF GOD IN ISLAM Islam strictly believes in Monotheism, Tawheed:-Oneness of God, who is creator, provider, of this universe. “Lord of the Universe” [AL-Qur’an ch 1 Verse 1] Shall I take for my protector any other than Allah, the Maker of the heavens and the earth? And He it is that feedeth but is not fed. [AL-Qur’an Ch 6 Verse 14] “Among His Signs are the Night and the Day, and the Sun and the Moon. Do not prostrate to the sun and the moon, but prostrate to Allah, Who created them, if it is Him ye wish to serve.” [Al-Qur’an ch 41 Verses 37] The concept of Almighty God in Islam ; The best answer that anyone can give you regarding the concept of Allah ins Islam; is quote to you from the Qur’an surah ‘Al- Ikhlas’ “Say: He is Allah one and only Allah, the eternal and absolute He begetteth not, nor is He begotten And there is nothing unto like him” [Al-Qur’an ch 112 Verses 1-4] This four line definition of Allah subhana wa talaah, which is the ‘touch stone of theology’ Theology is a Greek word which means theo-means “God’ and logy means “study”. Theology means “Study of God”. If anyone claiming to be Almighty God? If that candidate fits in this four line definition we Muslim have got no objection in accepting that candidate as Almighty God. - Surah Ikhlaas “Say: He is Allah one and only” “Allah, the eternal and absolute” Means :He has no beginning, he has no end, he is the one who helps other people but does not require help.etc.. “He begetteth not , nor is He begotten” Means :He has no father and mother. He has got no children, no begotten children. “And there is nothing unto like him” Means: And there is nothing unto him like in this world’. There is nothing comparable to him in this world. It’s so stringent on one can fit besides Allah. The moment you can compare Allah (SWT) to anyone, he is not Allah (SWT). If you say that God Almighty suppose is a thousand times as strong as Nuclear power or nuclear bomb, do you know Nuclear Bomb? it can destroy the whole city or country . If you say that God Almighty is a thousand times as strong as Nuclear power or Arnold Schwarzenneger or Dara Singh or may be King Kong, he is not God. The moment you can compare him with anyone whether a thousand times. Whether a million times, whether ten million times. The moment you compare him with anything is not God. there is nothing whatever like unto Him, and He is the One that hears and sees (all things). [Al-Qur’an ch 42 Verse 11] If anyone fit in this four line definition then we Muslim accept that so and so candidate as Al might God otherwise he is false God.
