Common Questions

Allah is the One and Only True God. He is the Creator of everything that exists. His Power and Authority stretch far beyond our limited human understanding. He is Merciful, Just, Kind, and Wise. In order to know Him, we have to understand that we are all mortals, and the purpose of our existence on this earth is to worship Him alone with sincerity, devotion, and reverence. His divine guidance has been sent down to us through the Holy Quran, a book that contains all the guidance we need to lead the good life both in this world and the hereafter.  We must seek Allah’s Forgiveness for our sins and strive to follow the path of righteousness so as to please Him. May Allah bestow upon us all in this journey of life steadfastness and wisdom.

In Islam, Allah and Muhammad are distinct entities. Allah (Exalted be He) is the One True God Who is the Creator, the Omnipotent, the Omniscient, and the Merciful. On the other hand, Prophet Muhammad is regarded as the Messenger of Allah who received revelations from Him through angel Gabriel. While Muslims worship only Allah, they also extend immense respect to Prophet Muhammad (may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) as he is believed to be responsible for conveying Allah’s Message to the people. The Quran clearly states that Muhammad was a human being and not divine in any way.He was specially chosen by Allah to guide humanity towards righteousness. Therefore, while both Allah and Muhammad hold significant importance in Islam, their roles within the religion are different – Allah is the worshipped God while Muhammad is His Messenger and Prophet.

According to Islamic belief, Allah is the one and only true God who created the universe and everything in it, including human beings. Similarly, Christians believe in a single deity that governs all creation. However, while both faiths consider their respective God to be omnipotent and merciful, there are differences in their theological understanding of God’s Nature and Attributes. Muslims view Allah as strictly monotheistic without any partners or offspring. In contrast, some Christian denominations like the Holy Trinity may see their God as encompassing three distinct persons - the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Additionally, Muslims worship Allah directly without intermediaries such as saints or Mary - which differs significantly from Christian devotional practices. Thus, while both religions acknowledge a single deity under different names or aspects, some essential differences distinguish Muslim conceptions of Allah from Christian beliefs about God.

Asking who created Allah Almighty is considered meaningless and illogical since the concept of causality only applies to the material world. Islam asserts that Allah has no parents or offspring because it contradicts His Nature as an Eternal, Non-Created, Self-Sufficient Being, without beginning or end. The Quran emphasizes that there is nothing like unto Allah nor has anyone the power to see Him. This indicates that Allah transcends human perception and cannot be equated with anything. Therefore, Islamic scholars stress that Allah (Glorified be He) can be known through His Attributes and Actions instead of trying to comprehend His Essence or Origin. In Islam, Allah is regarded as the Sole Creator and Sustainer of the universe. He existed before time, space, matter, and all other creations came into existence. According to the Islamic religion, Allah is Self-Sufficient and does not require any external source or help or support to maintain His existence or cause His existence. 

Allah is the Arabic word for God. Islam holds that Allah is the Only True God worthy of worship and obedience, and that He is the creator of the universe and all that exists within it.
