Who Is Allah? Who Is God?

Who Is Allah? Who Is God? – Allah is God. The name Allah is the Arabic word for God. More precisely, it is the One Eternal Creator, Lord of the whole universe. It is the same Arabic name for God that is used in the Arabic Bible.

It is pronounced almost the same in other Semitic languages: “Eloha” in Hebrew, and “Allaha” in Aramaic. According to Jesus (peace be upon him), God is One, with no partner whatsoever. I quote the following verses from the Bible:

What does it mean to have freedom in the West?

What does it mean to have freedom in the West?This is a burning question that the Muslims in the West must understand clearly since a very pseudo understanding of “freedom” has dominated their thinking. The type of “freedom” that they were bombarded with is one in where materialism takes roots; it is the one in which one is able to follow his or her lusts as much as they want. It is this type of freedom that helps rot the society from within till it can no longer be consciously called, “A moral civilization.” Just pause and ask yourself: when was the last time a foreigner called America, “A moral civilization”?

The Christians are not following the teachings of Prophet Isa Al-Masih (The Messiah)

The Christians are not following the teachings of Prophet Isa Al-Masih (The Messiah) – Bissmillah, as Muslims we believe in the kitab (scriptures) sent down by Allah, including one of which is Al-Kitab Injeel (Gospels/Bible), although we believe that the existing Injeel has undergone changes by the accursed hands, there are still some verses that are in tune with the teachings of Tawheed. In the Bible, there are quite a number of Allah’s prohibitions on making statues and idols and the like, let alone to worship and prostrate before the statue or idol. However, what we find, almost every house of the Christians are displaying the statue of Jesus with his mother Mary and others.

According to Jesus, Bible and Quran

According to Jesus, Bible and Quran – Jesus said, “To this end was I born, and for this came I into the world, to bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth hears my voice. Pilate then said unto him, What is truth?” (John 18:37-38)

Pilate’s response is a fascinating one. “What is truth?”, he says, but he does not voice the question as a genuine query – it is a rhetorical question, a statement describing reality as Pilate observes it – there is no truth, there are only constructed ideologies and practical necessities and people act based upon these and function within the social/economic/political realms generated by these constructs. Right and wrong, truth and justice exist only within the relativistic confines and context of these constructs.

The Islamic Lifestyle

The Islamic Lifestyle – In Islam, religion is a complete way of life, not just a spiritual yearning. When a person believes that God has created the world and has sent guidance to human beings, it naturally follows that a believer would want to follow His guidance. Islam provides an entire spiritual and social structure that regulates believers in every aspect of their lives: whom they marry, how they conduct business relations, what they say when praying, how they relate to their neighbors, and so on.
