God in Islam (Arabic: ٱللَّٰه, romanized: Allāh, contraction of ٱلْإِلَٰه al-'Ilāh, lit. "the God") is seen as the eternal creator and sustainer of the universe, who will eventually resurrect all humans.
In the above verse, Allah is called “As-Samad,” which is rendered by the famous Qur'an translator, Muhammad Asad, as “the Eternal Uncaused Cause of All Being.” The term “as-Samad” is used in the Qur'an only once, and it stands for an independent and eternal Creator who originated everything and on whom everything ...
In Islam, Allah is the unique, omnipotent and only deity and creator of the universe and is equivalent to God in other Abrahamic religions.
The following six beliefs are those that are commonly held by Muslims, as laid out in the Quran and hadith. Belief in the Oneness of God: Muslims believe that God is the creator of all things, and that God is all-powerful and all-knowing.
Though Muslims and Christians can describe Allah and Yahweh in similar ways at times, they are not the same god.
The Catholic Church since Vatican II has taught in different ways that Muslims and Christians do worship the same God.
The Qur'an describes how Allah created Adam: "We created man from sounding clay, from mud moulded into shape..." (15:26). And, "He began the creation of man from clay, and made his progeny from a quintessence of fluid" (32:7-8). Thus, human beings have a fundamental attachment to the earth.
Allah is the personal name of the One true God. Nothing else can be called Allah. The term has no plural or gender. This shows its uniqueness when compared with the word god which can be made plural, gods or feminine, goddess.
“There is absolutely nothing like Allah whatsoever, and He has the attributes of Hearing and Seeing.” This ayah absolutely clears Allah of resembling the creations. It comprises that Allah, ta^ala, is absolutely different from the creations in the Self, Attributes, and Actions.
Because God is far above the phenomenal world He has created; and consequently He is beyond the scope of human perception familiar with the material world. Since Allah is entirely different from all things created and far above His creation, His attributes cannot be like the attributes of any of His creation.
A creator deity or creator god is a deity responsible for the creation of the Earth, world, and universe in human religion and mythology. In monotheism, the single God is often also the creator.
God uses no preexisting material to create the universe. God's act of creation causes matter, space, time, and even the very laws which govern the universe to exist. Regardless of the scientific explanations of 'how' it came to be, God, in one divine action from all of eternity, creates and sustains all that exists.
Allah states that He created the universe, the heavens and earth and all that is in, on and between them in six days, as He has stated in several Ayat in the Qur'an.
'The First Thing God Created Was The Pen'
Allah is eternal, and so not bound by the constraints of time. Allah decided to create the universe. Allah, with unlimited power and authority, commanded things to come into being. Allah then made all living creatures, the angels, the planets and the rain to allow vegetation to grow.
“There is no God but Allah, and Muhammad is the messenger of Allah.” Introduce students to the Islamic religion and the spread of Islam. The overarching goal is for students to find the commonality in the monotheisms and gain an appreciation and tolerance for each religion.
Brahma the creator
In the beginning, Brahma sprang from the cosmic golden egg and he then created good and evil and light and dark from his own person. He also created the four types: gods, demons, ancestors and men, the first of whom was Manu. Brahma then made all the other living creatures upon the earth.
In Christianity, the Old Testament reveals YHWH ( יהוה; often vocalized with vowels as "Yahweh" or "Jehovah") as the personal name of God.
According to Islamic theology, God has no physical body or gender, although he is always referred to with masculine grammatical articles, and there is nothing else like him in any way whatsoever.
These tests are meant to purify us - Tests are not a punishment. They are a part of His infinite mercy. Through them, He eliminated some of our mistakes and sins. And ofcourse, these trials are nothing in comparison to those of the hereafter.
Allah Wants You To Give Your Heart To Him – Life With Allah.
Allah and the god of the Bible
Arabic-speaking Christians call God Allah, and Gideon bibles, quoting John 3:16 in different languages, assert that Allah sent his son into the world.
Indeed, Arabic-speaking Christians call God Allah. That may be jarring to modern day US Christians (who tend to think of Allah as “the god of Islam”), but the term existed in the Arabic world long before Islam arrived on the scene, and it is the Arabic equivalent of the Hebrew word Elohim.
Most mainstream Muslims would generally agree they worship the same God that Christians — or Jews — worship. Zeki Saritoprak, a professor of Islamic studies at John Carroll University in Cleveland, points out that in the Quran there's the Biblical story of Jacob asking his sons whom they'll worship after his death.
Most contemporary Muslims (including scholars) have concluded that the answer to the age of the Earth does not lie in the Qur'an, and they have come to accept the scientifically accepted age of 4.5 billion years.
