We cannot define Allah

[Zainab_M]

 


The Arabic word 'Allah' is the proper name of God, One and Only, Lord of the creation, Maker and Sustainer of this universe and beyond.   Allah created everything but no one created Him.   
 
Allah is the same God that Prophets Noah, Abraham, Moses, and Jesus worshipped and submitted to.
 
The name Allah is unique, given to no one else other than Allah, the One and Only. 
 
Furthermore, the word Allah CANNOT be made plural or gender based. 
 
Allah is a limitless and boundless entity.  Allah cannot be defined by shape or form. Shapes or forms constitute limitation that contradicts the basic definition of the limitless. Quoting Dr. Hassan Hathout, author of 'Reading the Muslim Mind' who said: "Allah is infinite, but human beings are finite and the finite cannot comprehend the infinite."
 
All Glory be to Allah, God.  He is the Wise and Merciful.  Allah has many names or attributes. Some of the ninety nine attributes common to Muslims are: Most-Loving, Most-Caring, All-Knowing, Clement, the Pure, the Forgiver, the Compassionate, the Grantor of Mercy, the Tender, the Full-of-Pity, the Subtle, the Aware, the Peace, the Lord of the Throne of Glory, the Judge, the Just, the King, the Owner, and the Most Powerful. A believer is one who honors these attributes, then sincerely applies and practices them in spirit and in action.

Studying and understanding the Glorious Quran is the only method to truly understand the attributes of Allah.
