£100 for the best photo of God
wrote in message ... Concept of God in islam Sorry for not sending anything related to this group but it might be something new to you. Concept of God in islam It is a known fact that every language has one or more terms that are used in reference to God and sometimes to lesser deities. This is not the case with Allah. Allah is the personal name of the One true God. Nothing else can be called Allah. The term has no plural or gender. This shows its uniqueness when compared with the word god which can be made plural, gods, or feminine, goddess. It is interesting to notice that Allah is the personal name of God in Aramaic, the language of Jesus and a sister language of Arabic. The One true God is a reflection of the unique concept that Islam associates with God. To a Muslim, Allah is the Almighty, Creator and Sustainer of the universe, Who is similar to nothing and nothing is comparable to Him. The Prophet Muhammad was asked by his contemporaries about Allah; the answer came directly from God Himself in the form of a short chapter of the Quran, which is considered the essence of the unity or the motto of monotheism. This is chapter 112 which reads: Slightly interesting, and merely demonstrates how fundamentalists can get over carried away even over terminology (i.e. you can't use the word for God for anything but God). In the [Xtian] west when the word god is capitalised "God" it means the same thing as Allah, but when in lower case it is just a generic term for a supernatural being e.g. "Mars was the Roman god of war." BTW you forgot to capitalise "Islam" above - go away and stone yourself to death... |
