Allah (The One And Only True God)

He is the One and Only Deity, the One Who is Worshiped and the One Who deserves to be worshipped by the whole of His creation due to the Perfect Godly Attributes that He is described with.

“Allah! There is no god but He, – the Living, the Self-subsisting, Eternal. No slumber can seize Him nor sleep. His are all things in the heavens and on earth. Who is there can intercede in His presence except as He permitteth? He knoweth what (appeareth to His creatures as) Before or After or Behind them. Nor shall they compass aught of His knowledge except as He willeth. His Throne doth extend over the heavens and the earth, and He feeleth no fatigue in guarding and preserving them for He is the Most High, the Supreme (in glory).” (Surah Al Baqarah 2:255)

In fact “Allah” is the perfect word to describe the “One God” of monotheism.

Where Does the word ” Allah ” Come From?

“Allah” comes from the Arabic word “elah” – (Arabic) means ‘a god’ or something that is worshiped. This word (elah) can be made plural, as in “aleha” and it can be male or female. “Allah” comes from “elaha” but it brings more clarification and understanding.

Allah = Has no gender (not male and not female). “He” is used only out of respect and dignity – not for gender.

Allah = Always singular – Never plural. “We” is used only as the “Royal WE” just as in English for royalty.

Allah = Means “The Only One to be Worshipped”.

Is “Allah” only for Islam and Muslims?

“Allah” is the same word used by Christian and Jewish Arabs in the Bible, before Islam came. On page one [1] of Genesis in the Old Testament, we find the word “Allah” seventeen [17] times.
