I will try to explain to the best of my understanding, the One denoted by the name Allah, as disclosed to us by Muhammad (saw), in the way that he urged us to comprehend. My starting point is the shortchapter of the Quran ‘Al-Ikhlas’. The chapter that begins with the verse “Kul huwallahu ahad..., ”which every Muslim knows by memory, butonly a few have a true understanding of its deeper meaning. The chapter that has been equated to one third of the value of the whole Quran!An ignorant man is he who has no knowledge, a stupid man is he who knows not that he has no knowledge, and a fool is he who has no understanding of his lack of understanding. The Quran gives much importance to the intellect and always addresses the intelligent ones while condemning those who do not use their intellect. The Quran urges man to use their intellect in order to see and experience the truth. Certain literate individuals, though lacking the ability to use their intellects to contemplate, nevertheless classify themselves as intellectuals and attempt to base their atheism on the primitiveness of the Quranic God,thereby revealing the actual level of their knowledge, or lack thereof Intelligent beings should feel compelled to research any topic in depth. Otherwise, their delusive denial based on incorrect information will only yield them unfavorable results. Unfortunately, despite the fact that Muhammad (saw) approached the topic of religion by explicitly denouncing the concept of worshipping deities and openly claimed Allah as the only One, his message remains mostly misunderstood.The West approach the One denoted by the name Allah as though Allah is a greater God than the ones they previously heard of, thereby veering far off course.
