Who is Allah?
Allah is the personal name of The One True God. Allah has no partners, equals, parents or children. All of Allah’s attributes are perfect, such as The Creator, The Most Merciful, The All-Powerful, The Most Just, The All-Wise and The All-Knowing. No human or object shares in Allah’s lordship and His divine attributes, as such, He alone deserves to be worshipped directly and exclusively.
Who is Muhammad?
Muhammad (peace be upon him) is the final Prophet in the long line of Prophets, sent to call all mankind to the worship of God alone. He was an ideal father, husband, teacher, leader and judge, and a perfect example of an honest, just, compassionate and brave human being. Although greatly respected, he, like the other Prophets, is not worshipped by Muslims.
Why believe in God?
There are many reasons for believing in God including those based on simple logic (summarised below) and through revelations (discussed in the next section).
Beginning of the Universe– A fairly straightforward reason for believing in God relates to reflecting on the origin of the universe. Where did the universe ultimately come from?
The universe hasn’t always existed (it has a beginning according to modern science) and it couldn’t have come from nothing or create itself. A reasonable conclusion is that it was created. Unlike the universe, The Creator of the universe, God is eternal, has no beginning and has always existed.
Order of the Universe- Another simple reason for believing in God is by pondering over the order of the universe using the following logic:
- Anything that is ordered indicates intelligence
- Our solar system is highly ordered with intricate laws, systems and patterns
- Therefore, the order in our universe indicates the existence and intelligence of the Creator
